REKIII

Collecting parts! Still holding out hope. Hahaha. Sadly, the M5 is not on the list before the Porsche. That is an eternal project probably never to be completed, hahaha.

Yeah, the swap seems very painless. Even the electronics are plug-n-play which is crazy. Just trying to do my due diligence on the porsche maintenance and audi maintenance to make sure both are as good as new...or improved! I'll get there. No rush, have another car I have to get on the road first....per the wife, and she's the boss so...

Jag!?! So cool.

Weird topic, especially for a BMW board, but you all are local, and automotively savvy. Picked up a 2002 911 narrow body (kind of by accident) with a blown up engine (IMS failure). Planning to put in a 2.7t from a 2004 Audi AllRoad. But....I'm completely new to both of these platforms. Would be cool to get some info from someone with experience on either of them. I have good direction and plan of action on the actual swap, but I'm looking for info on what is the best way to refresh the porshe, and what is the best way to refresh the 2.7t. Thanks!

Agreed!!! Always like to see that Porsche too.

Looking to get some suspension members coated (full disclosure, not BMW). They are all steel. They will need to be blasted, but are not rusty. I was initially thinking to have them Nickel plated, but have come across Cadmium, seems pretty neat. Thoughts on a good coating (not interested in powdercoat) and then any suggestions on a (semi) local place to have them done. Hoping for a decent turn-around and not having to ship. Thanks!
