Abby, my AWII build thread

oh good man. we should hit it up sometime. fold in your mirrors, add an alarm system, and make sure you park inside or at least park where you can see your car! haha

Yeah I try to..but the surf board attachment was a real come up. My car is parked at a frat this year and I'm way worried about her...at least there's an e46 M blocking my car! ;)

[ethrtyiS]

yeah man ill probably be doing that because it looks good and def creative to have a nice m20 head in your room to remind you of the car parked outside. reminds me a lot of top gear's table. and the fairing looks much better now. i still think you should keep an eye out for the old skool 555 thule or just make your own. btw you surf? that's a surf rack right?

travis - find a blown block...that one snapped a piston and shot holes through both sides..useless mechanically, but a kickass table for me!!!1one!!!

as for the fairing...taking the ends off worked perfectly. only prob is the ends were the last mounts so i had to use double-sided tape, but it sits flush and tight. notice my modified volvo lip too ;)

edwin, i'm thinking about taking off the plastic ends off but it looks like the fairing wont mount correctly then..

that might work, show us some pictures when done.

that i do. thats awesome man, im definitely excited for a chip. dude sticker bomb that fairing now! haha, btw, how could i get my hands on a table like that? i want one when i move into my dorm/apartment in a years time!

[mkcman17]

you've got my number dude. i feel the power come on earlier, but i'm not sure how much harder it actually kicks yet. also took it to 7k (once) to just to do it and it dies off over mid 6ks. but i really don't like to rev out like that anyways. i've got the wrong clips too..they're like super wide but i got them mounted without fuckin anything up..just took some time to get it right.

Mike, cut the fairing to the correct size.

[ethrtyiS]

That's awesome man. You feel a difference? You gotta get a 48" bro. I've got my whole setup for a yakima sitting in my room, I just need the correct clips for the rain gutters! Either way, looking real good man! I'll be hitting you up very soon!

[mkcman17]

not an update on my car, but turned my spare block into a table for my dorm. also, i have a narrowband afr, voltmeter, and chip to install tonight or tomorrow!

[mkcman17]

aww, youre doing exactly what i should be doing

I just bought a delphin e30 three weeks ago (somewhat the same situation with the car sitting and slighted interior) from a second owner and Im getting it together as well. My mom said i should make a build thread or blog given my excitement. I guess its never too late to begin...congrats, I love the interior!

just take pics as you go! i don't always update it (can be a PITA), but i try to always snap a random pic of any work that i'm doing so i can upload it at some point. make your thread and i'll check it out!

[ethrtyiS]

trav, i JUST mounted the mtech!

DOH. i am now fully aware ahah
