Prolonging the Procrastination...

Wow!

I like the low key very clean exhaust you have now. I don't think you need to change it. And I am in the process of building a turbo m20. This thread is insane! I love it. Gives me something to shoot for! Well done good sir.

Must feel nice after so much work
Did the new oil cooler work out?

It is so nice to jump on R3V and see a car that is properly done, and not only made of zip ties, duct tape, and money from your mom.

Yes, feels really good to have it coming together without too much of a fight. New oil cooler is in, no leaks!

Thanks dude

So I've been going at it pretty hard the last few days to try and get it ready for Eurowerks 6. Started it for the first time on Monday afternoon and she fired on the first try. Although it fired, there was a pretty bad tick coming from the front of the motor. I honestly dont have much experience with the M20 but I know they are noisy. This was too noisy. Blunt was kind enough to stop over Monday night to verify that something just wasnt right. I let her cool down and sit over night and got back at it on Tuesday morning. Pulled the valve cover off and new something was up right away looking at cylinder 1. The hole used for spinning the eccentric had spun completely around causing the valve to be way off. Not sure how that happened but I readjusted the valves and double checked the others to make sure they were tight. Put her back together and it purrs now, extremely happy as I was fearing the worst.

Anyway, on to the pictures:

New oil cooler, bonus to find a black one.

Got some of the wiring tackled with the relays for the Spal and aftercooler pump. Also sorted my vacuum/boost signal and got that into the cabin.

Had to move the coil over just a bit.

Provent install. Fit perfect, I just drilled a hole in the battery tray for the drain to drop down to the ground under the car.

Everything under the hood is pretty much done. Just need to tidy up a few things and get the hood back on.

Very nice!

Congrats on the start up & easy valve fix!

Looking forward to the first drive review!

Gorgeous, nice work Super Duper!

PS - I have been working overtime, held off on getting engaged, and buying a house to ensure I have pennies saved to buy this car in 6 mo's when you decide to sell it. ;)

But in all seriousness, nice work. Looks amazing.

Wow that exhaust looks amazing. I'm sure have a turbo quiets it down some too.

Thank you sir, maybe we can work something out for your M3... ;)

I already have my wife buttered up for an M3 when this is all done. :razz:


Dropped her down on the ground for the first time in a while. Played with ride height for a bit then bled the cooling system. Maiden voyage tonight or tomorrow!

Tire size? I did mine in the same color, can you give us a perpendicular shot to the side. Never mind I could make 215-40 on the other shot. Those run wide Didn't think Kumho MX ran that wide.

I have some 215-40's on 17x8 and they are silly stretched hate em.

Just curious, the GC setup you have doesn't have adjustable camber right?

Yeah, the MX's run wide that's why I ordered the 215's. They look just right on 17x8.

They actually do. Hopefully they are quieter than my old camber plates.

Those wheels look fantastic. That color provides just enough contrast from the paint.
