Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

[Dirk HX35]

Not much to update, slowly chipping away at the little odds and ends on e30.
Put the driveshaft in for good, redid fuel cell vent so my garage stopped smelling like gas, finished up pulley setup and put on a belt, had powder coating redone, put downpipe back on. Lost oil pressure in my m106 swapped e28 so I sold off the turbo setup and swapped in a 5.3 with a big cam, plan on putting on a procharger I picked up for a deal.

Ugh this car makes me drool. You have any plans on getting out to clubloose this year with it.

Lusting for a LS turbo..!! Damn you..!! Great fab skills, looks amazing....!!!!!!

Getting closer, still need to polish the chrome ceramic coating on my down pipe.
My brother still has to powder coat my front calipers and breather box so I can make hoses. I'm kind of amazed how close this thing is to being complete.

So close.

weight reduction

Yup.

Did some work on my brother's car and in return got my stuff ceramic coated.
The white/silver on the down pipe is chrome ceramic, I still need to polish it.
Got one manifold all wrapped, I'll finish up tomorrow after work.
Also for those wondering the driveshaft fit with just a little hammering of where the old center support used to mount.

What's the benefit to that?

Dimples add strength because they resist torsional force.

On the radiator... not trapping heat!

Dimple dies are pretty amazing honestly. My trailing arms are dimpled.
Makes shit look hella slick stance style.

What if someone drops some coins in those hole?

It's removable so I can collect the coins and put them towards the car.

In this instance it's strictly for looks.
