Yeah, same man. Let me see if I can dig it up...at headlands you were taking laps and I was the giddy short guy taking photos in the middle of the parking lot. Saw your post in the CLE thread, good to have another ohioan. It's seems the r3v's midwest members are coming on the all those PNW members!
Ah, here it is:

Yup I am the main photographer for the Fatmans Invasion every year, My car will be in the vendors row again this fall, I will be around so find me! Ive been meaning to get to cars and coffee but dont know much about it so after i post this ill check out the thread lol. Thank you for the complements by the way, Im really happy with the way everything turned out so far! but as you know a project is never done. hope to talk to you soon!Wow, Stellar build! Such great work being done. I saw this car in person at headlands earlier this year in pre-turbo form, looked good. Didn't get a chance to talk to the owner. Subscribed for big numbers and burnt rubber and more boost!
I'm also going to take this chance to shamelessly advertise our CLE area organizing, Cars & Coffee, etc thread. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=163146
Looking forward to more updates!

Thanks guys, Going to swap my 12psi spring for a 15psi spring today, do a little tuning and will see what happens! Im confident with my setup and a good tune i should be able to run 18 or so but 15 will be fine for now,Leave a comment:

Well in my absence we managed to get the car back together and after a few minor issues she runs! and boy does she run well :) Its got a pretty good tune on it now 11.9 to 12.3 at WOT cruising is between 14.5 and 15.5 but still need to play with the timing, its on 12psi now but going to bump it up to 15 in the near future!
Also i dumped the crappy clutch fan and put in a flex-a-lite i had laying around

These are some pics from the first night out, taking it easy of course to get some miles on the new clutch.


Over the weekend my friend drew wanted to go take some rolling shots



Got some vids to post up also but ill get those up later!Leave a comment:

Steel BOV flange came in, got that all welded up and finished the charge pipes.

Also got my 4 bolt to v band adapter for the turbo so i can finally get started on the downpipe/exhaust

Heat sleeves for the plug wires! great product

I was mildly worried about boost creep so i sold the tial 38 that i had and bought a precision 46mm, Should not have to worry anymore lol


And with it all together, starting to look pretty good! Im so happy with the way everything is working out,



Began building the rest of the exhaust yesterday,

and when i left lastnight it was complete and i painted it with some black VHT turned out really well!

Update: The oil filter hits the OBX manifold adapter, lame lame lame. not a major issue should have it figured out tomorrow and the exhaust is almost done, so should be off the stands soon :) pics tomorrow or mondayLeave a comment:

I can see that, but considering my other car friends street drive 600+ cars around here 400 hundred doesent seem like much, not to mention I have a 450+ drag car that only sees the strip (when its not broken) Id be completely happy with 300-350 in the e30 i just think this build @12psi will make around that. Im sure i wont be driving it every day, i have a crappy truck and a bike i will be taking to work. But will see i really have no idea what this car is going to do. its my first e30 so will see!Leave a comment:
