Well after Keith calling me a BMW guy for getting in the wrong side of the truck to paint lines and helping Reichen pit the evo for a few years I figure its time to build one for myself. Originally it was just to run in BFSS, but I swapped the stock tank back in to run in PS too. I figured I would post a few pics.
I will start with the shell
For the mile of course I had to swap on some Drag radials
Next its onto building a motor, half filled 2 liter, Custom 9.5:1 Wiseco HDs, RNR aluminum rods, ARP L19 head studs
Lightly ported and oringed head, FP5r intake and fp11 exhaust cams, Kiggly springs, MLS head gasket
Ptt twin disc
Magnus Drag intake manifold (Thanks Marco!), Shearer fab exhaust manifold, gt4202R, twin tial gates, 3.5" exhaust (still a work in process)
3.5" DSS driveshaft
Solid front roll stop, New ball joints, sway bars, sway bar links, prothane bushings throughout
Coil on plug, Magnus fuel rail, Afco radiator, Aeromotive regulator
Stock tank back in, aeromotive proseries pump, dss stage 5 rear axles.
Pics of intercooler pre-install
Core is a 4.5" Garrett core, big thanks to Ron and the rest of the crew at Shearer Fabrications.
Got the intercooler on the car and pipes cut.
Car has a 10 pt cage in it now but I think there are some modifications I will need to make to make it legal. Still have some wiring, chute mount, EMS, plumb the fuel system, door net (replace window net) more safety equipment, and odds and ends to tie up. Roof rails are what are gonna hurt my feelings the most at this point. Hope to have the car ready for hot rod next year. Engine should make around 1000awhp so we should have some fun with it next year.
