A little update...
Replaced the transmission with another low mile zf unit because mine was popping out of second gear. Also had new exhaust welded up and added new wheels. Next is paint. The wheels are cheapo xxr 521's with nexxen 225/45/16's. Still rubs a tiny bit, rolled fenders a bit, need to get them a bit more out. Already have the spring hats to lower the front a little bit more after I throw on the skidplate. Shes gettin there....


Here is a picture of my exhaust setup... Ebay headers>magnaflow cat>cherrybomb>dynomax muffler

Well the car has been ripped apart once again. This time stripped it down to bare chassis and sent it to paint. Full respray in mauritius blue. Redid the undercoating on the bottom of the car.

Full GC coilover setup going on. Not sure on wheels yet. Engine was pulled apart, getting s52 crank, k1 rods, wiseco pistons. Head was rebuilt to stock specs. TRM tuning will be used. Top mount turbo with an Otisfold as well... Should move along pretty well.

Getting pumped on getting the car back from paint here in a couple weeks!

were you the guy who kept texting with me about gettting that s52 crank? I still got one if you still need it

I can say I'm jealous of your build. It's exactly what I want to do as well.

Hey bro, are you still looking for a hood and fender? I haven't been down to Yorktown to pull em off lately but I think you would only be interested in the hood anyway if you're still looking. The pass. fender isn't in as good of shape as I thought it was so you're prob not going to want it.

I am looking forward to seeing this bitch complete. GOpp said you're rolling around in a swapped e36?

Welp, taking alot longer than planned to get her back together. Had some parts stolen etc. Bout to finally get car back from paint here within the next month or so. Full turbo kit in the works, low compression m52 with s52 crank, 84.5mm pistons, the works.... GC going on as well. Starting to get antsy cant wait to get her back.
