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

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.

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.

RACECAR!!
