Made this last week - I dunno, I think its like the icing on the cake

Cardriverx · 06-28-2008, 11:54 PM

I want more engine pics, that thing is sexy as hell.

TurboTagTeam · 06-29-2008, 12:07 AM

I don't get why every little thing you do needs a seperate thread. There are "member journals".

If I made a thread about every little thing on my car that I fabricated from scratch, I'd OWN this site.

SoStock92 · 06-29-2008, 12:58 AM

Because this is just a piece I made - its not a big deal. If it were a new turbo setup or a new ... ECU... or... something, I'd put it in a build thread, but this is something relatively "gallery" like. We're all impressed with you owning the site.

twistedlanes · 06-29-2008, 05:51 AM

it is sexy as hell but i guess it should be in your journal dude.

poolmike · 06-29-2008, 11:19 AM

You should drive that car or something.

ozthunder · 06-29-2008, 11:23 AM

BlackTypeR · 06-29-2008, 11:55 AM

regardless...

SoStock92 · 06-29-2008, 05:50 PM

I have driven the car. Problem is, it has no exhaust yet. Dropping it off on Tuesday. Was supposed to be there yesterday, but the shop was too busy to fit it in. So now I am taking it elsewhere tuesday.

I think I'll start another thread with pics of that when it gets done! Oh noes! Too many threads! Server shutting down!!!!

The Captain · 06-29-2008, 07:30 PM

I like being difficult so people notice me too, its ok.

peteyturbo · 06-29-2008, 07:38 PM

Dude you have wiggins zipties, and powdercoated coolant, and now you wanna tell me you have no exhaust!!

Yep - My friend came to the shop where I built my car to bring it home and gave me about 1 hr warning. So I rushed to make an exhaust. Did it, but it was much too low and got hung up even just getting off the lift. So... I am having a shop do it.

Money is not an issue - its just timing and availability. Unless of course you know of a "bolt on" 4.5" exhaust for a BMW 5 series with a top mount turbo

NickRSwrx · 06-29-2008, 10:00 PM

Oh everyones panties are all bunched...

Yo, what laser engraver is that? Looking to get one for my school. That thing looks sweet

DropTopChevy · 06-30-2008, 03:26 AM

I think it looks awesome. Only thing I don't like is the bolts thru the B and the Z, but it still looks amazing.

probevette · 06-30-2008, 12:53 PM
