hahahahaha.
ReassemblY has finally started on the 540i so once that's done I can start on the DSM.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Nice!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Whats exactly needed to finish the Talon?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

it currently has no turbo/cooling/suspension setup in the car.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Ahhh gotcha, whats the plan going forward?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I have a new cooling system that needs to be modified and get a turbo setup, I have a S259 it was the closest I could get to a 5857 so I wouldnt have to change much else.
I need to fix my bmw first,I'm not in a hurry for this to be done yet that happens about June or July

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

You better I want to see my favorite 1g running!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I do too I won't lie.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

pewp update.

So I bought some evo 3 intake manifold last year and had it sent to a friend on the east coast who does great porting. Has flow data to back up his work and has shared it.
I've been trading him parts I'd be throwing away in the trash for his labor on porting that manifold.

supposedly it's painted or powder coated black.

I've sold my tires of the FD wheels, picked up some beat up evo 8 wheels and tires to roll on for now on the street, although that will be tough with no suspension.

I sold that in hopes of picking up some new coilovers that everyone else runs.
It will make it easier to dial in and give me a bit more clearance for slicks.
I'm planning on taking the whole family to England for xmas so I'm not sure the car will get done this year, but I'm going to try.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

You just keep wheelin and dealin!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

That's all this project has been for the last 18 months.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

You get it done now, thanks.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Get it done for map pg1!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

What they said^^^^^

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

lol, PG1 would be a miracle with the dollars it needs/wants.

Only good thing is that I will no longer be gone for the whole month of June like I was supposed to be for military training.

I'm even dodging that saturday at work, I won't lie I do want to make it, but being honest I don't think it will happen unless all the stars/moons align somehow.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

At least come hang out if its not done. We need to catch up

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

PG2 is on the map so far, I'm going to the dells for PG1 hopefully taking the bmw if I can get it done.

I need to try and find a machine shop to get me setup for a half fill, main studs and a kiggly main girdle then I might try to tackle this assembly business myself.
Any experienced help is welcome.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Are you really shootin for the moon or what? What kind of a setup do you eventually wanna end up with that needs a half fill, etc?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I don't know where it will end up so if rather build once, a lot of research has prompted this as a standard move for anything 600whp and above.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

RACECAR!!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Kiggly girdle is nice, block fill seems like overkill.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Lame sauce update, I haven't given up hope on this yet.

I picked up a stock exhaust manifold and o2 housing and a big 16g to help speed up the assembly process.

Just started a new job so focused on that and the million other things going on.

I'm also hoping to sell my 540i and pick up a C5.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

C5 would be awesome man!!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Vetteclub!!!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

#VetteStyle

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

C5's are good, cheap fun. I miss the black one I had sometimes.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Yeah, I'll never have a swapped FD because I'm too cheap. I drove jungy's C5 and fell in love.
Even though I swore them off a year and a half ago.
I never travel with the kids alone and I still have the civic if I need to.

Going to try and get the dsm done this year, not sure if money will cooperate, but I'm going to me sure that I put a conscious effort on my part to do what I can.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I've been sitting on these for a while now, just swapped on some free tires i got instead of the all seasons that were on there.

I'm currently waiting to hear back from a local machine shop about building my motor hopefully next month.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Snow tires?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Was wondering about that too, saw your fb post. Why not get some good summer tires or drag radials?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

AKA drag radials.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

haha i was thinking that they would stick being so soft and all, but probably last about 200 miles during the summer.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

WisDom right here.

Tires were free with only a few thousand miles on them at most.
Best street tire for digs you can get for dirt cheap or free in my case.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Ghetto slicks son!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

The newer, poorer version of green dot retreads. :D

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Well, time to start this puppy up again.
Need to install turbo kit, find someone to fab a Downpipe, install a shift box for the trans, reinstall interior, it's a mess. Install new radiator setup.
Good list of stuff ahead I want it done in 6 weeks but we will see.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

What you thinking for a radiator? You still going to use the exchanger in the rad for the trans or do you auto boys just run a cooler on the modded cars?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I have an AFCO scirocco radiator and I've had a big seperate trans cooler pretty much from the start.

Just need to find a welder to get my downpipe made.
