I'm V sad but it went to a good home. Sold.

Hope this thread has been helpful to some of you all building your own cars.

That's sad but I understand...hopefully it goes to a good home!

Hey guys, I love this car, but after back surgery this year, plus the addition of a now 1 year old, I've decided to list it for sale. I've only had time to use the car once this year and it is a shame for it to sit. If anyone is interested LMK.

I read it…keep the updates coming!

[pMak26]

I don't think anyone reads this thread anymore but I'll still toss an update in every now and then. I used the coolerworx shifter and it's damn good. I had a buddy drive the car and he loved it as well. He has a sequential in his e46m now but yeah, he loved the feel of my setup.

Anyway, did some laps instructing my friend in the car. Sorry all I had was my cellphone for video this day, but here:

Such a fun car to pass uhh, much, much faster/higher hp cars in 🤣

The car has 3 pedals and a stick thingy in the middle now. I really didn't take shit for pics while doing this. Honestly I just knuckled up and enjoyed doing the work, not focus on documenting super well. It was really nice.

I also rebuilt the front brakes.

Haven't plugged into the car yet to check but I think the gear selector switch. The car couldn't find 3rd gear and the shifts were crazy slow (like 5 seconds to find a gear) as it did try to figure out what gear it could go to.

I still drive this thing, I think I broke the SMG finally. Honestly surprised it lasted this long. Soo.. prob full manual swap coming next.

Which part failed?

I’ve been tempted to install a BW kit but may go the route of a fuel surge tank. I hate carrying more weight around if I don’t have to.

Ah, in case anyone was wondering if my fueling issues were solved by the bimmerworld dual pump setup, plus new main pump screen/pickup...



I was still pushing and never had a fuel cut. This was the level as I came off track and rolled it right onto the trailer.

That photo stresses me out just looking at it. I have the BW dual pump and still have never gone that low. Ballsy.

Well done.

Wasn't much louder than before the headers. Here are a few laps from NJMP tbolt yesterday. Car worked great, the Pirelli DHs just started to blister the edge and then full on corded the next session. LF takes a beating at this track.

Loads of corvet... erhm, traffic made it hard to get a clean push lap . Best on the day from the data was a 1:28.7 and best theoretical from the session that corded the LF was a 1:27.8. The new patches of pavement are very, very slick still.

Been super busy but finally doing a track day on Monday at NJMP.

RIP my ears.

...I've made huge mistake

lol

don’t bother trying to swap the resonated section in. it just adds weight.
