hey, he's my brother! haha

Hahaha yeah he's allowed to say that ;) yeah I know I need to get it tucked.. Lol as for grip on the weaves... Getting on the interstate this morning had been raining all night so the roads were damp.. Not soaked though 3rd at 55 it kicked sideways. And dry pavement 1st is useless and you have to shift very easy to 2nd lol it's fun needless to say and actually rides really smooth

Here is a few pictures with the weaves that came with the car. I still need to strip the paint and get them polished up.

Video with the new SI board :) ( Reason: Temp/Tach didnt work.. for those of you having the issue, its your SI board)

And here is some pictures of the New/ Old SI board as I swapped them out.

sub'd, awesome work. Love the pedal that you made

Thank you! Best part is, it costs like 20 bucks and doesn't squeak like the stock one! We are considering adding a textured surface to it or using grip tape as well because smooth aluminum is a little slick when wet.

Hey guys just a few updated pictures over the last week or two. Car is running great and I really love the 2:93 diff with the s52, great power all around. Also got my ST sway bar in with new end links. It handles like a dream now! Thanks for looking and all the input.

then what's with the 75-140, that's open diff oil?

Nope, 75-90 is for an open diff. 75-140 is for Limited slip diffs.

Thank you, we really put a lot of hours into this car in a short period of time. 7k late model tach works fine, and some people run 7250, some 7k redline. I think it depends on the tuner but I'm not sure yet which one this car is because the tach is the only gauge not working :( Ideally, you would source an e30 m3 cluster that goes to 8k!



the garage!
