A little more update lol, still waiting for the weather to break, my dining room and kitchen has officially been over run with car parts lol. Starting to recieve the last final bits i ordered.

UUC Front BBK



Momo 350mm Steering Wheel




Also finally took off those god awful diamond racing steelies. Took the opportunity to test fit the 16x9 esm 002R's. These pictures are with a 15mm spacer bringing offset to et0. I think these will fill the rivet on flares i ordered perfectly.






And a final pic of as she sits right now.

Still not much progress except snow melting lol. Once i get a break in weather i'm taking a week off from work to wrench on the car so this will happen fast. Received one of the final packages today, still waiting on my UUC Big Brake Kit, they seem to take forever to ship.


3" downpipe and exhaust. I'm sure i will need to modify it a little but better than starting from nothing :)

I now see where this is going.

[nybimmers]

I wanted to get something i knew would hold, i didn't want to have to go back in and replace a slipping clutch. The car is not a daily driver so i'm not too worried.

Damn a sintered iron clutch disc on the street is pretty aggressive! The hotter they get the more they grab!

Not much work being done yet, installed the oil temp, oil pressure, coolant temp, and egt gauges. Still need to wire in the sensors.


Also my Spec Stage 5 clutch arrived today. Supposed to be good for 600 ft/lbs of torque.

Lag is all a factor of turbo sizing just like any other turbo application.
