Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

Square headlights has me thinking.

Going to run e28 hubs in e30 trailing arms and move the shock mount.

Haven't made much progress, 745i swapping my e28 so I can still have some fun while I build this car.

Yeah I don't know, for whatever reason with the clear headlights it kinda looked like a weird crossover between e30 and a corrado or something. Yellow, it looks like an e30 again

[Dirk HX35]

Wow. Looks so much different (in a better way) with the colored lights. What'd you use, that transparent spraypaint for glass or something?

Krylon stained glass paint, thanks!

Yellow square headlights, sounds perfect to me.

pure awesomeness.... just swapped in a s50 into my car.. drove it for about 50 miles and texted Otis to order a turbo manifold... LSX with boost is going to be out of this world.

You will love it! Boost is always better

T6 frame right? big boy stuff..! Love the headlights, I'd rock them, no one will see them any way, just the tail lights.lol 18psi :crazy:

Yup, should pretty nuts haha. I need to find a set of clean lightly smoked tail lights, mine have seen better days (shopping carts at work)

Holy fucknuggets, not sure how I missed this until now. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, will do!

Lean is mean haha. The hx52 is just mocked up for size, I'm thinking Borg Warner s476r, and water/meth injection. Maybe 18psi or more we will see

1. $30 for the amount of plate you used seems kinda pricey

2. I thought I remembered the sikky pans being way cheaper than they are. $750 includes a modded pan with kickouts on the sides + baffling, the necessary dipstick and an oil filter relocation kit. GTO pans are about $100 or so used.

Trust me, I know your labor/time is worth the money and finding someone who's good at welding aluminum isn't easy, but take what you think your work is worth and reduce it by 20-50%... that's what people are usually willing to pay (at least that's been my experience anyway)

Huge fan of everything but the square headlights... looks like something someone thought up as an afterthought.

As far as the pan goes, cost of pan + $100 for modding + shipping sounds reasonable / what people will pay.

The square headlights aren't for everyone, that's for sure.

100 bucks isn't enough to make it worth while to do. It took me 3 hours to modify mine. I used a plasma cutter to cut the pan and it still took about 3 hours to cut, fit, prep and weld the pan.

I don't think 100+ shipping is worth it either, the plate I used was like $30 itself.
