I’ll be driving in from Madison if anyone wants to caravan there together. I know @vbhargava is planning on going as well, I was thinking we rendezvous at the park and ride on Highway N off the interstate and drive in together.
chris and I can meet up at 8am if we're headed to qdoba— however i am still fwd for the time being. waiting on a new e46 rack for the sedan.

I'm alive! Admittedly haven't had enough time to keep up with threads between work and school, but now that that deadlines aren't breathing down my neck i'll have time to work on my REAL car soon. too bad the picnic isn't happening to get my motivation going again
in lieu of my absence, here's wip pics of my sub-d model 325i i've been working on for the game art portfolio. why build real cars when i can make fake ones? 😉

I'm too much of a puss to do my own custom loop. More because I can scream at NZXT if my AIO cooler fails and leaks everywhere, then they'll buy me a new GPU

I've been waiting to piss through those S curves leaving devil's lake, and it was definitely worth it even with the rain. I'll post my pics soon

Just now, Snap said:
E34 is front sump, all others are rear sump
on the bright side, looks like ya boy here gets to save $60. should i be okay with just the oil pump upgrade?
-
G260 with the sachs m20 clutch kit (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-sachs-parts/clutch-kit/21211223102~sac/), I've got the trans brace from ben already.
i have an e34 oil pan but i personally wouldn't know if that's rear sump, haven't ordered the oil pump parts so no worries if I screwed up.
-
real talk though i'll stop shitting up the group chat and get my m50(b25tu) maintenance sorted out here.
currently todo:
- head gasket
- vanos seals, rattle repair kit (besians)
- thermostat housing replacement
- hydraulic alternator tensioner conversion
- upgraded oil pump shaft (achilles)
-
reinforce oil pick-up (also achilles)
thermostat and water pump / pulley are replaced already.
am i missing anything big? motor has 140-160 on it iirc

chris keeps bitching at me to update this thread even though the only thing i've done is spend money on parts.
Just received my RHD M20 flywheel, looking shiny as ever:
Using this guy alongside a brand new sachs kit from ECS. i REALLY like the stock e30 clutch so this should be amazing. also ordered a hydraulic alternator tensioner, aluminum thermostat housing, and completed my short shift setup with a turner shift arm bracket and a zhp knob. Stage one of the project is essentially getting the M50 reliability upgrades in, redo gaskets, and assembling the trans and shifter to get it all ready to drop in at once.
also i started assembling the weds. will be running these on the calypso for the time being, they'll be mounted shortly. bask in their glory:
-
Devil's lake group pics would be awesome, especially rolling pics along S lake road with the cliffs.
This meet will definitely be my motivation to get my Weds / euro grilles / new bumper / valance lip slammed on
