It's a M50 swap. Really clean.
I didn't meet any of the other guys though.

M50? I'm pretty sure its an S5x swap with an S54 6-speed tranny :p

[etxxz]

[ForcedFirebird]

I remember that car. He went to the meet at CB Smith.

Sorry about the bimmer in all it's dirty glory (and still not wet sanded and the pce of trim in the front floor board), but you get the idea...

Amazing how much the dirt shows with a 3 second shutter and parked under a street lamp haha








Still want to go another inch lower in the rear.


















Also, some of you guys know I am in the machining trade and may have an inside jobber for getting our cams re-ground! Call me for details.

Looks nice! Time to get those basket weaves on it!

Really? Hmmm.. I guess I missed the whole S5x part of the equation, but he did mention a 6-speed. And I was like where in the world did you find that?

He didn't do the build.

We need to scrounge up as many stock cams as possible, any help? Anyone have some laying around?

Looks like Silence, Johnny Cash and I are down for one, the more I get the cheaper they will be :D

Looks like they will be around $250 for a ~265 grind, but will know more when they receive my cams ( I have 2 i cams, might be good to give them an e cam in case it can be ground more or different).

Carlos, can also change up the intake center and lobe separation for your car since it's boosted ;)

Hood wasn't opened? He bought it swapped, but whoever did it is certainly clean.

Got the welding station set up yesterday :D

Very nice, John, I love the setup.

Fresh pics*























My buddy Chris Owens is one hell of a photographer. We went out on Saturday and he took these pics of my 318is. I've spent less than $1500 on the car, including the purchase price. I bought it wrecked. You can check out my build at http://www.rede30.blogspot.com. Check out Chris' Flickr photostream at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ocell/ and his site www.ocell.net

Hey Carlos! Surprised I didn't hear from you this weekend.

Ran out of argon already at 11pm Sat night, borrowed some co2/argon mix from a friend today to finish up the weekend. Hopefully be done in time from construction work tomorrow to refill mine - I like the straight argon better.

[ForcedFirebird]

Holy crap! by the time my post hit, those pics showed up and your car looks sects ;)

Hey Carlos! Surprised I didn't hear from you this weekend.
