Good to meet you too Chris. Yeah, he is a crazy old bastard, but it's all good since he's dumping money into an old E30. Were hoping that it's all going to be together by Mid to late July. Hoping for at least 300WHP at somewhere between 15-20PSI, but that may be optimistic.
Oh and your car is badass too dude. That M50 with the B&B Triflo sounds soooo mean when you get on it. Makes me want an E30M50.

Haha, true that man. Hes crazy! 300's a good number to shoot for. Any ideas what hes gonna run as far as a turbo? What brakes are those? I see ///M on them but are they e36m3 brakes?
Thanks man, I wish it went as good as it sounds. Some day itll be as quick as i want it to be.Last edited by So Live; 06-11-2007, 05:05 PM.-ChrisComment

Big Update
Yeah they're ///M Brakes, they are brakes from a '98 Z3 M Roadster. My dad bought the whole conversion kit including GC Coilovers from Treehouse Racing.
Another update of enormous proportions.
My dad and I took the car to get the engine bay painted. Had to use 2 different sets of ramps, due to the casters up front.
We just picked up the car yesterday, and let me tell you, freshly painted DS looks so fucking good. It will be a while until the rest of it gets painted though.
Also got the steering wheel in last week and mounted. It looks pretty good and is just the right diameter, to keep the gauge cluster visible.
Hmmm...... I do wonder what could be in those boxes.....hehehe
E46 ZF Transmission:
Custom Driveshaft:
And last but not least, the Low-Compression 2.0 M42
Some misc. stuff including the turbo. It's pretty big for the motor, but should be good for around 400-450hp.
That's it for now. I'm going on vacation starting tommorrow, so the front subframe/suspension won't start for another week. Enjoy!

Damn son, sick stuff. Is the car Diamontschwarz? Or are you guys changing it to the diamond?
Why'd he decide to go with a custom drive shaft? The e46 328 shaft fits perfect if you flip the csb backwards. Ask how i know :)
Turbo specs?
Looks awesome man. Keep the shots coming.-ChrisComment
