PNW Chit Chat thread

I have a couple choices in mind there is a guy on here that is doing a kit that supposedly will allow you to keep the ac lines in stock location

Sounds sketch, buy from blunt. Custom AC lines arn't that expensive

Anything is top notch compared to one you have to take a sledge hammer to your car
Speaking of top notch! PO had new VANOS installed by a local shop I will not mention the name of and it looks just like this now
Previous owners fault for not buying new 75 cent sealing rings? Or shops fault for not just replacing the sealing rings?

Very nice! Just went through your entire build thread, looks good. Assuming the 99hp dyno was with stock ETA m20?

Thanks man!! Really appreciate you taking the time to do that :) Yes that was a 260k+ bone stock ETA with stock gearing.

The 150whp dyno was with stock exhaust, 885 head, MS w/ 19# injectors and 3.73 gears.

Not bad! I have a buddy who is torn between stroking his SETA or just going 24v. Maybe your build thread will influence him

Anyone need a stock 325i M1.1 chip? $15

Also have a stock 2.5i cam. $50

The SETA would be even better compression wise for a stroker! I am open to any/all questions pertaining to the build ;)

Shitty. I bought a bag of crush washers from blunt when I saw I would need those exact crush washers for my vanos

[ZoomZoomBoom]

Yeah, crush washers are a one time use only.

He didn't pick them up until 3 or so. I met up with him to sell him a cluster for his M50 swapped 318 shortly afterwards. He said he did a full 5 lug swap on his 318 but the kopi's were 4x100, so idk......?
