unfortunately I just got here, but the car is awesome. Really wanna see it in person to check it out.

Thanks bro. Unfortuneately I stepped on my laptop and broke my screen so no tuning for a while. That is unless someone wants to volunteer their services. I just added up the cost of everything actually needed for the build and it was a little over 2600. After selling of of the old parts my new total is a little over $2000 so I'll be under budget once I sell all the left over parts.

Awesome project Nigel. If I were a bit closer I'd volunteer my laptop, but as it is I can't afford to drive down to LA until next month (not joking, I am flat broke right now).

what kinda laptop is it? perhaps i can help fix it. or at least be able to use external screen for time being.

[einstein57]

Its a hp mini 1030nr. I'm probably gonnah order one of those $50 ebay replacement units.

[ethrtyiS]

ebay replacement units? you mean the whole replacement screen. that would be your best bet. it isnt really hard if you have any sort of hands on experience and some patience. i mean, it should be easy for you since your building a damn e30 turbo car. haha

[einstein57]

I'm a little slow when it comes to electronics. I broke my other laptop trying to fix it.

[ethrtyiS]

just check youtube, im sure they have diy's or just google. i fix nearly all my electronics, i buy broken ipods and xbox 360's and fix em. its all about patience.

I dig the hidden charge pipe. Is the cooler gonna be black/stealth too?

Was walking to my car today and i couldn't help but grin. Just looks so mean. I finally got my laptop together and started messing around. I changed the EGO to wideband and copied ixer's timing map. It worked wonders for my around town drivability. Still has a hicup at 1100 and 2200rpm. But the maps are severely more aggressive then what i had before and CA's crap 91 made it ping like crazy around 4500rpm. So tonight i took a drive down to the local e85 station and put two gallons in my 13 gallon tank. All i can say is damn. If its this fast at 8lbs then 1bar is going to be crazy.

^ looks mean. i wants teh video nao! oh and i want to turbo my m20 now!

[einstein57]

There is a lot of rear rubbing since i'm running 225/50/15's on 7.5" et 5 wheels.
