efficient, thanks!! bubbalyland77, sick dude...we will continue to be twins, haha!! Here is a recent pic:



I need to get out and do an actual photoshoot with it some time soon.

I don't have too many updates currently; gathering parts for the turbo project. I recently got the Good n' Tight manifold. Here is a test fit on my spare block:



Also, my largest distractor from car stuff has been my foray into CNC Plasma-cutting. I have plans to build some parts with my set up and just got it running...stand by for some awesome stuff out of this. One pic of the first cut:



Also a little video:

I decided to put my style 5s on too. Ordered adapters today. Mount them babies.

Thanks for the props guys! More on the harness bars coming soon...I have some things I want to tweak before I offer it to the general public.

For this weekend's update...new kicks and another BIG turn for this project!

I got a sweet score at the yards on labor day...some e38 Style's for extremely low pricing. I couldn't resist. The wheels are wrapped in 215/45/16 Falken Azenis RT615K's and should help my grip a little. 42DD adapters are on the way and I will be sure to post pics once I have the wheels mounted. For now, here are the wheels wrapped in fresh rubber!



My next and biggest update is:



I got a GTX3076R for the next 'phase' of this car. After 5 years, stock S52 power is growing monotonous and I just want a little more. The turbo should offer excellent response and still provide all the power I could want. Housing is a T3 .82 with V-band. My plans include this turbo, blow-thru maf/tune, an air/water IC, cut-ring/ARPs, clutch (tbd) and general refresh of the engine bay.

Stay tuned!
