E39 Project

Got up to the shop last weekend. Didn't feel like a lot was acomplished, but we made huge leaps forward in planning.
Got my newly refinished wheels mounted. They fit.....just barely. I will need to lower the car a bunch and play with some thicker spacers in the front and rear. I may have to pull the rear fenders a bit depending on alignment.
Found a home for these beauties
Made all solid bushings for the Diff
Pulled the stock manifolds off and test fitted my brand new evolve headers.....sadly they wont work, but I'm glad we figured that out before we cut them up. Anyone in the market for S62 longtube headers?
Dropping my spare block off on Thursday on my way to Chippewa Falls. Manifold mockup will commence.
We figured out the limited mods that need to be done to get the turbos to fit, and came up with a REALLY cool way to route the turbo piping.

Whoa. Chippewa? My neck of the woods!!

What turbos (so sweet to put a "s" behind that) did you go with?

I am excited to see this thing. Im sure with twin turbos you wont have a problem doing a burnout, like last time.

Oh, they have cool little custom velocity stacks mounted to the intake side too. The guy that has the record holding porsche 944 (HP on stock engine) had these turbos and wanted an upgrade. He has all the work he can't do himself at the shop my car is at, so I had no problem taking them off his hands.

Bobbert,
We may have to do a featured article on your car for the site. Take as many photos/document errthang. We're going to be trying out a thing this year.
Now that your posted snail pics, shit got real.

I appreciate that, but it probably wont work. The shop would have to be credited, and from what I've gathered it is HATED by a lot of folks here. Unfortunately, I can't risk more bad mouthing for no reason.
