Woot! Congrats on the BMW purchase, I REALLY need to get a DD too - might be joining the BMW club with you (m5).

Finally, a good update. I drove up to Rotary Evolution today to drop my SuperSels off with Ben. Motor should be ported soon. :icon_tup:

finally.... an update!!! awsome...

Nice build, best of luck. Its an inline 6, they all are!

Any Updates???:icon_no2::icon_no2::icon_no2:

Just finished talking with the chroming company....my uim/lim/tb/alt/wp/etc... are going off to be chromed this week. I might send my control arms out as well... hmmmm

Only new part since my last update is Tri-Point Engineering Rear Sway Bar.. to match their 3pc front that I'll be running.

where are you getting everything polished?

I'm not sure if I'd chrome suspension components, it weakens metal.

Ben was supposed to do my build, talked to him two months ago, and said he'd get me in November, since then he hasn't contact me nor responded to anything. I know he's really hard to get a hold of, but still.

Good luck on your build looks great!

Fucking sick build!!!!!

this is gona be a great build ;)

Niceee...shits finally coming together.

decision on a turbo?

We're running the same injectors and manifold... etc

Pretty similar build actually, hey.. we even daily bimmers...

We should be bro's, do you listen to Jack Johnson? :lol:

Dhahlen, sorry i missed your post mate. It supposed to update me when theres new posts in here. Anyway, no dice, not really into Jack Johnson. :rofl:
Bimmers are hella fun to drive. I might keep this one for awhile, then look into an e90.

I'm trying to decide between GT4294R and PT6765sp. I still have no idea though. Honestly, I'll probably go with whichever takes the least time to get to me.

Do you have a build thread?

Wow, our builds are nothing alike. excited to see the updates and pics

New toys from Harbor Freight & Pineapple Racing. Can you guess what this means? :ponder::bigthumb:

Pinapple used some shitty USPS tape when tapping the bolts and stuff to the engine adapter plate.. that's what the blue stuff on the bottom right corner is.. need some Googone.

wow...I'm totally subscribing to this! This is awesome! I can't wait!!! :D

Looking great so far!

So, Santa came a little bit early this year. :rofl:

It was frustrating for both my dad and I using his tools, so I got mine own. It's my first tool chest, so it has some sentimental value. lol Now I just have to fill it up. Ohh yea, the motor came back from Rotary Evolution all nice painted/ported. Ben should be posting up pics of his port work soon.

A little update on whats going on with the build.

• Still waiting on my turbo kit from A-Spec, I believe the backup is with Garett, apparently everyone wants a new billet turbo.
• Picking up my newly rebuilt T56 from an 04-06 Goat next week, then waiting for Bewtew, or Howard C. to finish their adapter plates.
• Getting my ECU & Ignition from Ludwig Motorsports in a Group Buy here on the forum within the next month.
• Waiting for summer to come by & school to end so I can work and make some money & buy my wheels and suspension off Ganesh. :icon_tup:

~M

I've got a few left in stock, in the middle of stuffing them into GT40R compressor housings for a smaller package too...

What a beauty!! Jaw dropping!!

I used to own a FD. :rofl:

Here's a teaser shot just before she gets sent off to sandblasting. Shot courtesy of K. Hahn Photography.
After sandblasting she will be in the paint booth finally. :icon_tup:

Sand???

I'd ask about plastic partical blasting (doesn't remove any metal)

gonna be sweet.

Paint code?

I usually call it sand blasting too, but he probably means media blasting.

Got hit by a drunk driver last night. My BMW is totaled. :(
minor injuries to my left arm that I can tell of so far.

^dam dude at least you're ok for the most part.

oh snap! sorry to hear dude. at least you weren't killed.

Sorry to hear about the accident Michael, good thing your okay, now just think $$$$$...LOL

thanks fellas I appreciate it...

Shittiest part is not being able to go do anything about it, but on the bright side I'm about to go pick up my purple geo metro rental car. lol j/p not sure what car they are giving me yet.

amazing build hope insurance takes care of you and glad your ok

dayum mike!?!?

here comes the $$$ now:D

Sorry to hear :icon_tdow

Great build though :icon_tup:.

Go to the doctor and get a note about being hurt and say you're thinking about suing the insurance company for medical bills but you're willing to settle up front. They will write you a nice check.

Just got good news from Sean at A-Spec tuning, my custom duel wastegate setup is finished, but we're still waiting on Garrett to send my GTX turbo. The turbo pictured is Seans..

Hopefully I can finish the car before SevenStock.

if anyone's curious the rebuilds are very affordable. sorry for the delay getting the pics up Mike!

+1 for Ben's rebuilds:D

+2 for Karacks rebuilds!

Ditch those OEM water seals.

I'll have to keep you in mind for mine :)

This is going to be one outrageous monster. Keep it up! It's growing up to be a crazy beast.
