Found a pair of 17x8 style 5's near a dumpster lol the tires are sh^t. Just need two more, there's alot of e38's at the junkyard. But i found 3 of em for $265 , so a full set of rc090 plus a spare basically for $265. Good deal...
Cleaned them up a bit

thanks modernist!. to anyone else: I'm still getting to the bottom of the electrical problem, it may be the simplest thing causing it. My goals for next month are replacing battery terminal cable, putting in an i cluster ( current cluster may be causing issues ) . And as soon as I get my costco battery exchanged i will check my fuses for excessive battery draw.

Looking good! :)

Why are you changing the headgasket?

im unsure of its condition blown gasket + brown muddy coolant , couldn't take the risk.
jan 2016 : The head was pulled because of the symptoms of a blown head gasket.

Got the 'i' injectors thanks to modernist !
April 2016 edit : my car still had the red eta injectors , not very good , it ran horribly and misfired frequently , i have a 525 ecu and of course stroker, 17lbHr m50 injectors are also good.



More updates next week

All except the valve cover gasket and manifold gasket have not been installed. Im waiting till i get new head gaskets and bolts and probably a timing belt so it runs fresh🖖🏽
Edit: and the rocker shaft plugs. I'm getting fairly used to working on these things and is starting to become fun as i learn more.

Update: ordered early 'is' coding plug for the cluster swap. Will post pics monday/tuesday. The car's been sitting due to an electrical problem but should be running next update.
EDIT : APRIL 2016 : this had to have been the stock cluster ; swapped in a newer 7k one because i needed it anyways , it no longer had the red dimly lit cluster light ! i drove it for a week straight like that and it started greatly
each time , no dim light.
