Marco, my friend had a M20 build using the eta crank, S50 rods and high compression pistons (~10:1) and when it was done it made almost 200whp without a proper tune.

[mbonanni]

Were the pistons custom made? That is one thing I don't want to deal with. They cost too much for me. I talked to my dad and he agreed to building a stroker on the side if I fix the vert now. So I am going to throw a head, timing belt, waterpump, and hg on the vert to drive around for the time being. This will be the first motor I rebuild, so I am pretty damn excited.

Damn! That seems like forever ago. I wasn't sure I'd ever be back either lol.

Did you ever do anything with the s50 or did it just get scraped?

It does seem like ages ago! The entire car got parted out/sold off. I just ended up breaking even about and keeping all the stuff from your car that I needed to finish the swap on mine. I don't know how I would've ever finished that swap if I didn't buy your car!

That makes 2 of us.

Car looks great though Spence! Can't wait to see it on the RFs... But please don't take 5 years to do it

[Cabriolet]

But please don't take 5 years to do it

Well, he got the car back on March 13, 2014.
so we know progress is slightly faster, since hes lowered it and added a lip in a year and a half


PS hit a fence in the blue car. was coughing from the smog from all the fires and smashed up my mirror and grazed the fender. luckily oliver's nice paint on the fender buffed out and it's good as new. Oliver's got me covered for cheap on the mirror and it'll be fixed for Festorics.

Not sure how good it shows up in the pic, but I dyed my carpet black yesterday. Still need to do one more coat and it will be perfect. Going to get more dye and do my extra set of door panels and rear seats.

[Thizzelle]

nice
my carpet looks like shit but w/e

[Thizzelle]

Does anyone happen to know the BMW part number for the M3 fog light relay? (K8) I tried using all the numbers I could see on the relay and came up with nothing.

Thanks,
Will

I will take a pic of my fuse box at lunch

Looking very good! So much sexier! I'll need to touch up my carpet once I have some time over winter break.
