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

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.

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!

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?

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.

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?

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

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.

So, Santa came a little bit early this year.

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.
