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.

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

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.
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.
