What no 535ix bits? Damn.

I can neither confirm or deny your allegations.

no real updates. Started taking apart an old transfercase to rebuild it, waiting for a transmission to arrive from Germany and looking for an ix 5-speed trans as a core. also need to get the front and rear diffs down to California to be rebuilt.. get the M20 running on MSS54, finish the cluster swap, man it never ends!

[bradnic]

I can get 300whp going another route with a different motor for basically the same cost..

S54 in an IX? Update? Going through Nando withdrawal here.

[nando]

the stim's are megasquirt stuff. the harness is my "reverse" wiring adapter for MSS54 to my MS3/M20 harness.

the main hurdle now is getting it to work with just 1 TPS input..

[bradnic]

That's friggin awesome..
What's the test rig?

[nando]

I'll just leave this here..

wow nice IX

[bradnic]

It is perfection and the management is what the m20 should have been.
So many m20 builds on here. IMO this is in the top 5 out there.

so much learning for us all here - the great suspension work, the stroker... never seen an ix stanced like that, WITH full suspension travel and decent camber.

Probably better that you dont, its not even close to perfect! There are some bad paint spots on the roof, and even a new rust spot under the windshield that is KILLING me to get fixed. And my front seats are horrid, lol... notice there are never interior shots :p

Wished I was a local to you, I want to shoot that car badly. It is perfection and the management is what the m20 should have been.

There could be more, i have the GC camber plates maxed out for minimum camber on the street.

These pics are super compressed over the originals :(

Here's the full res of the last one:

This phone has a better camera than my last actual camera, lol.

Looks mean with those r888's! The second picture makes it look like there is quite a bit of negative camber in the front.

Nice....HBD ;) Bmw

[nando]

took some pics during my favorite month. these are just cell phone shots which really aren't so bad. brought my kids to the park for lunch and playground, couldn't resist..






also, my car's birthday is in 2 days - 10/21/1990 :)
