Build Thread?
-
Anyone notice that I suck at build threads? I do!
Got the head redone, looks real nice and shiny!
Got ARP studs and a .14 MLS gasket, painted the block a lighter gun metal grey (ha, get it?) and put it all back together, along with new piston rings and rod bearings and all new bolts. I have the turbo, its a holset HX35, ordered an intercooler.
Got a ZF, lots of stuff. All good fun!

Seriously, this thread is worthless without pics

Pics later, just grabbed some more hours at work to keep funding it

Alright, so a while ago I pulled the head and took that in to get machined and hot tanked, came back like this
Was good to say the least, then the goodies rolled in!
ARP2000's and a Cometic MLS gasket!
Put the head back on, and bolted her down tight!
Cleaned and painted the block somewhere in there as well.
Soo much gasket...
oh, and this!
Cleaned up my carrier and added a new bearing to that as well!
And just because he did it...
Tis my father! Who recently bought a 330i sport! I don't have pictures of it for some reason?!

I spy different rims on the red car. And oh man, that turbo makes my pants tight.

Those are different wheels! Some how my parents are letting me get away with this
Lol, glad to know I can make your pants tight.

Lol. They are wheels indeed.
Your turbo?! False, its mine!
This came in the mail today!
I know what I am doing tonight!

Indeed, will be getting some black radiator paint
Though a friend may have a hookup on anodizing it!

Quick mock up, followed by the good stuff!
Nice fit, but the valance needs work!
Started off with some smaller cuts
Made a few extra cuts for better flow,
ended up with that!
Fits very well!
And just to see what it would look like all tucked in there!
I quite like it!
