    Some pictures were taken of my car at First Class Fitment, thought I'd share them.

          Picked up an 86 E28 535i to replace my Passat.
          Nothing but problems with it so far, but I'm sorting it all out slowly...





          And just for fun mocked up the HX52 I recently acquired, intended for the e30 obviously.


          My e30 started missing like crazy after first class fitment, haven't had time to look into it yet. Currently it will try to start but cant keep itself alive.

            e28s are better calls then e30s.

              Soooo I made some exterior changes...




              Still waiting on fender flares to arrive from KAMotors and I am looking for an Mtech 2 kit if anyone has any leads.

                Forgot to add a few other things in the works.
                I traded an m52 crank I had for an s50 crank, stroker m20 is the plan.


                I am machining a head support girdle like Karel runs.



                And I plan to get a 71mm wheel for my HX52, will the 11cm2 exhaust housing be too small?


                Let me know what you think so far!

                  This is insane.

                  What's the point of the head support girdle?

                    Karel has one to help prevent the head cracking, I wanted to make one since the material is too expensive. I plan to run a fully forged 3.0 and make at least 600hp or I will scrap it.

                      Nice build so far. What kind of turbo manifold is on the e30?

                        Thanks, right now it just has an ebay manifold I welded a wastegate flange to.

                            OMG those louvers. Do you have a time machine or something? JC whitney NOS?

                            Love it. Love the wheels. Dont love techno on e30s, but whatever floats your boat.
