    I built a pretty good rep or with Vivid Racing retailer BJ (tell him I sent you). I'm pretty sure he can get a hold of the turbo you'd be interested in. Or Horse Power Freaks. As for the diff you're all set with the 2.93
    Current: 1988 M3 - Henna/Black black alcantara

          Sold the m20 flywheel and SACHS clutch kit, now looking for a M5 flywheel. Clutch is coming from Clutchnet, going with a stage 2(Will handle 500hp and 450trq).

            Well I thought I would bump this since I have done a ton since my last update. Most of this update is reading as I did not take many pictures...

            Euro bumpers are striped of chrome and painted. Rear is mounted and waiting to get my fender so I can finish the front one.

            Stripped the interior and gutted the sunroof tracking/cables. Deleting it is happening next week.

            Did some body work on the hood and went with a caulk board black paint.

            Bought the new GC Koni strut valved to spring rates.

            Modded the housings and welded in spindle bracing. I am waiting for the rain to stop so I can swap them out and mock up the E30 M3 sway link tabs.

            This is all I have for now:

            1/4 plate steel, try and snap on me bitch!

                Why is the "4" backwards?
                Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
                This is the internet. Just make something up.

                  My Dad did that lol, I did not fix it because it is fun to pick on my Dad.

                  Back on topic I forgot I cleaned up the brake lines since I deleted the ABS unit.
                  Also swapped a 1.9L Z3 rack

                    Not much of an update since I have been messing with my families builds.

                    UUC 22mm e30 spec SwayBarbarian front kit(poly bushings, 22mm, beefy plates) GC e30 M3 custom 8.5" links(stock is 11")


                    Installed blah (want your housings modded like this? message me) And see my coil screw adjuster? that is down enough to tuck 215/45/16 lol I got room to spare!

                    Dust covers are coming off and I am running ducting soon, if some did not read I am running UUC BBK setup for brakes.


                    Also removed the steering knuckle and gutted it out for clearance with my die grinder. No more binding =)

                    Only things left to do is:

                    Find new engine

                    Weld the sunroof closed(easy, just need to go back to the shop)

                    Make seat bracket for MOMO racing seat

                    Get pass fender and install the front euro bumper(already installed, just need fender).

                    Fab and weld in my cage/fab up my exhaust(exhaust bender in the house!)

                    Drive

                          thanks man =)

                          Update:

                          Wheels should be mounted within the month depending on the custom spacers. Tires are getting wrapped tomorrow, will have mocked up pics to give an idea in the afternoon.
                          Stay tuned, will only get more mean =)

                            Wheels are finished and the tires are mounted, used some wood cut to the spacer sizes. Artec MI 3pc wrapped in BFG G-force sport 215/45/17-235/40/17.

                            Still searching for an engine, that is all I have left to do.
