This Vert

[unloadedak]

it was so slow a state trooper would let you get slideways.

Looooool! Not me, Adam! My ass would've been in jail. That trooper was like, "meh, m42..."

[Vtec?lol]

this is great!

any update on this car? Did the bottom mount fit?

Test drove a 318i vert, I think it was slower than my buddy's high school d16 honda, but man do they handle corners. It really is the poor man's m3, but either way, sexy vert. 24v and a turbo is sexy.

It was sold to a local buddy then he sold it to a guy in North Carolina I think.

The car is now located in Louisville, Ky. I just ordered everything and the build starts in 2 weeks. I'll continue progress to this thread.

Hell yes!

Currently the car looks like this

It's just not the same without the hardtop :(

Gold mesh > all.

Looks good, Gordy! Have you done anything in the turbo department on this car?

[gordy]

The turbo project has officially started. Front bumper was stuck, had to drill old torx bolts out. Cleaned up AC condensor and various other parts, goodbye brackets, etc. Fabbed up some mounts for the intercooler and have that mounted. Turbo was too big for the space under the manifold, yanked TCD and have tubular tig top mount going in. New downpipe & mandrel bent intercooler piping to follow. Picked up a Innovate Motorsports SCG-1, and other supporting goodies. Slowly but surely this will come together. Thought I'd share a little progress over the last couple of weeks. Post more soon...
