valance looks great man! on your gta wheels, did it cost you much to machine out the hub bore? I've been looking for some cheap 16x8+0's.89 325i 4dr s52

It self-centers as it rotates and you're only taking off less than a mm.
No balancing issues.
More Alpina stuff - may need sideskirts.
Can't wait to put the GTAs back on this week.
Also, some highly articulated suspension shots from Sunday (pre-Alpina)

Is there more room behind that valance than the stock 'is' one?Comment

Good to know. At some point in the future I will be seeking more room behind the valance, since my massive intercooler makes it impossible to run a condenser fan with the stock, cut up, valance. I love the look of the Alpina valances and would not be opposed to trimming a reproduction and putting it on my car.Comment

Nice, that is a lot of power. Power to weight ratio has to be on par with a C6 Z06, assuming the car weighs close to 3,000lbs. How's the traction?Comment

That's a great power to weight! I'm just a bolt on LS1 car but I've got 245 square A052's on my HPDE car and they hook up great for the track. I'm Probably 150hp and 50ftlbs less but you should still have reasonable traction on a 245Comment

My fronts are a challenge as my front track width is about 15mm wider per side.Comment

Here is a photo dump of progress:
2.93 LSD Fitted
Burned off all available tires before the snow hit
Tucked it in beside the Pajero Evo for the winter
Finally found an immaculate carpet to replace the terrible one that's in it
Bought a terrible winter car while the Evo is being kept safe
Converted the front core support to a removable setup
Now the engine and trans can come out in about 40mins from start to finish
Replaced the decimated throw out bearing
Soundproofed/Heat shielded the tunnel and bay
Deleted any unnecessary wiring now that the ABS & Airbag are gone
Did the timing belt, water pump, tensioner and a few other things to the 1JZ
Chopped out any unnecessary bracketry in the bay
Started looking at clocking my BC top plates to gain more caster without changing the wheel position
I'm going to re-drill the stud locations to rotate the plate 30degrees, which will increase caster about 20mm and keep the strut towers untouched.
Made a rather large purchase - BBS RSs
16x8 et11 Front
16x8.5 et5 Rear
Perfect for my suspension setup!

More photo dumpage
Launch control mawfakers....
Micro momentary switch
All wired up with a quick disconnect in case I need to pull the trans
I made a neoprene sleeve to keep the wiring semi-clean at least
I could have easily worked it off of the clutch switch, but this is just so much more of a cool gimmick.
My new carpet is in, which meant sacrilegiously cutting it up to fit the modified tunnel.
Redid all of the crusty in-bay loom
Sharpie'd by cluster and polished the screen to a near new finish
The interior is now ready for some serious ripping this summer
Fitted the ultra-rare SedanKing Heckblende
I'm finishing up a neat license plate holder, as this one was just for mockup.
Next up is a deep clean, then she's back on the road this weekend!
