At this rate, nobody here will be finishing their turbo projects in time for spring.

jk everybody. Thats just motivation so you can all prove me wrong.

NA M20 FTW

ok now im screwed

I will indeed take this as motivation.. This bastard won't give me the engine!! I'm not going to paint it until it warms up, and lately I have just been saving up my dimes for welding consumables and parts for my exhaust manifold. Man I just bought an argon tank. They aren't cheap! And I spent the rest of my pay check on filler rods and stuff!

Nah, but it was still 275$. I didn't think about consumables when I bought the welder lol.

[Rowleym]

Oh, and the whole wiring the garage for it. They quoted me for 500$. This just sucks.

Those would be simple problems. The worst thing about the way mine is going, is I'll actually have the car partially modded, but not turboed. Boo! Can't even go to any events because no turbo = no show for me.

Sounds interesting. Ill be excited to see when you finish. I just recently purchased an M5 down in Arkansas last week. Good to see that youre one of the few on here who owns one. Forced induction on the S62 will be somthing else. Goodluck!

[e92boost]

Anything is possible! Good luck man!!

E39 M5 is still my favorite BMW.

What?  An Update?  Holy crap!!

These FINALLY came today:

Still waiting on the tank and pump.  Ordered a bunch of REALLY expensive stuff from VAC, probably another couple weeks before delivery on that.

[B C]

fancy!

[Brian.]

finally done with R&D? YAY! install them asap!

[Earl]

Take those helpers out. They garbage=P

[REKIII]

I was surprised to see them in there to tell you the truth.  The only thing I can think is he wanted to make sure the spring stays seated together in the hat.

I will ask whe nI give him a ring to get the start up process squared away.

My new clutch FINALLY came in.  I ordered this thing at the beginning of summer.  Slight weight savings over stock.

Damnit didn't realize the display was flashed out.  Pretty sure it was 56.4lbs.

[240sxguy]

Beautiful! Who made that clutch for you?

[REKIII]

VAC Motorsports.  The tripple disc part and TB are Tilton pieces.

[Brian.]

That thing looks meaty! Bet it'll grab like a mother fucker!

[Earl]

Robert you are THE man!

[REKIII]

I don't know about 'The' Man.  I thought my clutch was pretty cool until I saw your Film Car.
