Yeah, Jon really does some amazing work. He was a huge help in making this engine a reality and having the plumbing looking so nice as it does. Thanks Jon!

Yeah, teh throttle body is from a 1.8T Passat.

Also, thanks for compliments guys.

Damn dude. Jon is amazing. i wish i had the $ to let him set me up. So sick dude

[Huff]

Wow..

[delatlanta1281]

oh, and btw.


That is the hotness!

[delatlanta1281]

I don't know if you realize this or not , but that looks like the tb of a vw 1.8t. In the dub world alot of us with 1.8t's take the tb and turn it 90degrees so more air can get into teh manifoldzzzz. So the flat black part of the tb would be facing the hood. Just a thought, look at the way the tb opens and you may agree.

That right there is badass.

Good GOD thats the fucking most amazing M42 I have ever seen...even tops Dbilias ITB's...wow.

[BenM]

Thank you sir. You can stop by anytime you want to really. I've just starting gathering parts for an M30 swap into a 90 325i 4dr. too. :p

Holy shit man! That stuffs nuts. I cant wait to see this shit done dude. I wanna come see it some time.

[BenM]

Things are getting much closer. Just a few more pieces and the engine should be in in a few weeks.

[stevofthahill]

Damn I got a woody when I saw that m42. This is gonna be one sick machine when it's done, and I can't wait till it is.

[BenM]

Absolutely BADASS, every fucking part of it. Is that a standard M42 valve cover? It looks different.Those UUC pieces are nice, too. And great choice on the wheels!

Damn you r3v boys are sharp. It is certainly different from the stock M42 valve cover (as previously stated by mattdk318i). Jim Rowe at Metric Mechanic used a process (which I cannot recall off hand at this late hour), but adds a very unique look.

Yeah, they are expensive, but worth it.

Haha, I knew you were going to say something about the wheels. Something in your sig just gave me a feeling...lol. I got an amazing deal on them for $180 with decent tires(except the tires are different sizes) I personally love the way these ones look, with a large polished lip, and the way they will expose the M Roadster brakes.

Thanks for the compliments.
