My Lord man, that is incredible. Well done. Car's N Coffee around Christmas? I would love to see this in person.

[Sepp]

holy shit.
Nice work man.

Excuse me for either not recalling, or for it not being here, but are you running the G240?

[Ray Smoodiver]

Sweet jesus I wish my bay was that clean.

As Iain said, check out Tony's build for E46 into E30 madness. It's nearly complete too.

Why 4 link rear and not wishbones at each corner, Luke?

[Danny]

Those mounts look, um, thin

How sure are you about their strength?

Curious about this as well.

Have you driven it? How's it feel?

What I wanna see is someone do a proper 4 link rear end and a double wishbone front end, even if it means a 4 cylinder from a different car to make it fit. That would take some serious engineering, and would actually take out quite a few compromises done in the interest of luxury/cost/performance, and take the car way up the evolutionary scale.

Dirtysix on here has a project thread you'd be interested in.

you don't have any pictures of your exhaust set up by chance, do you?

I could enjoy some more bay close ups. Everything so clean and OCD really satisfies me. I love how all the BMW specific hose clamps are aligned on the same axis. I'm thinking that as many fasteners as possible are all torqued to the same horizontal axis as well.

That is my favorite part of seeing images of mechanical insanity, when the guy that put it together cared about making it so much more than perfect.

Way to go, and I only wish you'd have developed a tougher skin earlier, because like I told you before, car guys are gonna be asses, it's a type of brotherhood and camaraderie, and if you would have rolled with it, you'd have been welcomed into the fold a long time ago.

Just remember, like the little boy on the playground punching the little girl in ponytails in the arm on the swing set, most of the picking on ya was because people liked the direction you were going in.

Thank you very much for your kind words and for noticing my disorder. OCD can be a good thing sometimes ;)

Unfortunately, earlier today I put it away in storage. Here's a picture of the exhaust as well as some detailed pictures I took during assembly. The exhaust setup goes like there, e28 headers to e28 downpipes. At the bottom of the e28 downpipes an M3 flange was welded on to match the m3 center section downpipes. This matching flange satisfied CA BAR. From the M3 center section it mates up to the M3 muffler, of course it was all painted once installed, just don't have any pictures of that yet.

Also, not sure if anybody noticed since I forgot to mention it, but I had to relocate the power steering reservoir to where the relays bolt up since the intake boot was conflicting.

Car looks great, Andrew. Congratulations!

people don't call you out much, do they.

i can tell by your response. :p

[Farbin Kaiber]

^ No, it just means you must be an entitled, whiny little emo bitch. Man up and accept the silverback gorilla mentality that you've chosen to surround yourself in by getting into cars.
