    Stage 2 is now underway!.
    Stage 1 was to build the car and get it running.
    Stage 2 is to make it more fun. :)

    Our new 2.3L motor showed up last week and we finally got it unpacked.
    This stage will involve the 2.5L EVO upgrade, some Schrick cams, head work, LWFW, clutch, etc. Our goal is about 240hp from the stock 190hp.

    It'll be going throughout the remainder of this year, so it won't happen nearly as quick as the last buildup.

      Core motor looks clean! Good luck with the build, and I hope you enjoy every assembly lube covered minute of it!

          Now for all those wheel haters....

          I think we'll get a few more of you with these new wheels we just picked up.

              Figure out an adjustable Koni's package for the group buys already!


              Good luck!

                Look like NT03-M's if I'm not mistaken...my friend has a set of white NT03's, very nice wheel.

                  I think the e46 wheels look great!

                  do you know how much the e46 wheel weighs?

                    Nice build.

                    let me know if you don't use that D/S hood.

                    I am looking for one.

                      We made the same choice on the wheels for our track car at the shop:

                      We've got a plastic front bumper for it that just got done being painted.
                      Car looks good on the track!

                        Got some photos of the wheels on the car



                        We had new door skins fab'd as well. We had the door CMM'd for a perfect fit then laser cut some aluminum panels. We could easily remake these in any material if we ever need to!
                        Just now need to figure out some paint.
