            Kindof. Guys at EPL fired her up about 3 weeks back. Ran it for about 30-40 seconds with no coolant or hoses hooked up, and with oil in any other passage you can think of. Right now, 666fab is doing the exhaust and water tank in the spare tire well. Once that happens, the rest of the front end is being put together, and then more tuning. I will post more pictures of progress soon, as well as some videos when the tuning begins.

            I have been more focused on getting the Schnitzer S5 ready for Vintage at the Vineyards, and also gathering more parts for an M30 swap into another E30.

                For which part? Getting it all back together and properly tuned? Hopefully beginning of February, maybe mid February, I'm not sure.

                After this stage is complete, its body and paint work, then some more interior work, including some kind of roll cage.

                  Damn, how did I miss this build. That is a really nice set up. I have been working on some m42's and m44's lately but nothing of this caliber. I have just been trying to get mine to run well much less make 300+ hp. Keep up the good work.

                          Yup. Exhaust and Water Tank are complete, and I'll post pictures later today.

                          Per European Performance Labs, the car should be on the dyno in 2 weeks. :p
