Kylie - S52 Swap 325e, now with moar Pictures!

[TrentW]

Those seats look awesome with the suede. Is the rear staying original?

[Rich@GTBPerformance]

Rear is getting the same treatment, didn't have time to snap pictures of the rear but Ill put some up once I'm down at the shop tomorrow.

[samiam3356]

Looking good mate!

[Rich@GTBPerformance]

Kylie should be finishing up this week once we get headers and install the interior and exhaust!

[Motorsports]

What kind of headers you guys going with? interested in what you guys have in mind for the exhaust.

Going Stromung for the exhaust. Not 100% on the headers yet

Plus side, the headliner is done.

[samiam3356]

I love my Stromung exhaust. Not too loud and has a nice tone to it.

[Rich@GTBPerformance]

I am really looking forward to hearing the Stromung exhaust in person!

[Rich@GTBPerformance]

Promise there will be pictures soon. Been in the shop the past two days with Levent and Joel, with Nico chipping in.

Interior is almost completely done. HVAC unit still needs fixing along with the Gauge cluster needs updating (5000rpm is not enough for an IS motor )

Exhaust was going in tonight.

Completed at the end of the first phase

Wow. Thats a serious assortment of parts. Going to be LEGIT once its all said and done!!!

[zerokid5555]

Joel is the man!!

[iXguido]

Nice build list, pic would be nice to back it up ;) Keep up the good work!

[Rich@GTBPerformance]

Been a while since the last update.

Officially the engine is fried at the moment. The first start up did not go to well. We are going to be pulling the engine and replacing it.

Looks like about 8 days away till we get a new motor to drop in. Almost pulled the trigger on a 24v setup but a little too far out of the budget at the moment, and I'd rather spend that on a paintjob.

I will be trying to get down to Guten soon, I have been away from Levent and Joel for a couple of weeks as I have sold my 335i and I am carless :(

Pictures soon. Taking requests! :)

[White325is]

Do you need a engine? If so hit me up.

[Rich@GTBPerformance]

Motor Problem solved.

It has more valves.... More to come soon
