David's E36 M3 Evo has been an ongoing project for some time, taking it from a standard engine to something far different - a 12.7:1 compression, 296-degree cammed beast.

Local vinyl and PPF legend Jamie (of VinylOne fame) approached us to take his M140i to the next level - we of course obliged.Jamie's car was far from stock on arrival - it was running an unknown Stage 2 map, catless downpipe, foam intake filter and modified stock exhaust.

Many M3s come through our workshops for extensive work, and Tom's Santorini Blue E92 M3 is one of our biggest builds to date. We began with the engine, tearing it down to a bare block to begin work. It was bored to 92.5mm to accept oversized 10.0:1 Mahle Motorsport pistons and then built with VAC Motorsports bearings and...

We've worked with EBC Brakes for a number of years now, offering their premium performance brake pad compounds for various M cars. However, EBC HQ was a place that we had never visited, until now. One of the main reasons for our visit was to drop the HE140i off with the EBC Brakes Racing department for development of a couple...
At Hack Engineering, we like to put our money where our mouth is. When developing tuning packages, we always use a test vehicle to ensure that we're offering a 'complete' package to not only make the power figures, but to do so reliably and consistently. Therefore it was only right that the HE140i was the test bed for our...
With the evenings beginning to draw in, we decided to team up with B Road Hunting Club for an end of Summer meet. B Road hosted with their glorious venue, also putting on plenty of refreshments and locally-sourced bratwurst.
