I’m interested. I’ll PM you 😉

Good price, and they look great on your car! I would keep them! GLWS!

Damn. These are tempting to put in my shed. And forget about till I get a new car. Great deal

LT1 F-Bodys are great performance bargains! My good buddy has one with long tubes and full exhaust and it sounds menacing. They can take some HUGE tires up front (305 probably) and are double wishbone up front. Not bad for $4-5k typically. 

You guys are gonna love this update! Let me know what you think of the car and the video!
And be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel as most of my exciting updates will hit that platform first.
 

I'm digging your vids man! Great quality for just starting. 

Walnut blasted the valves on the new motor so I didn't have to break my back and remove the intake manifold later.






Then.................. the new motor found it's home!

I tackled the fueling upgrades this weekend (upgraded fuel feed line not pictured).

First step was to install my new Precision Raceworks Stage 3+ fuel pump bucket that had two Walbro 450s stuffed inside. Robert at PR was nice enough to assemble this for me. Usually you have to modify your stock bucket while mounting and wiring up the pumps yourself.




After fiddling around in the gas tank for a bit, I got the stock bucket out. New PR Stage 3 bucket on the left, old bucket on the right (with my old Stage 1 inline pump attached).


Installation was basically reverse of disassembly. Fairly straightforward, more gas on the hands. A plug-and-play harness is included in the kit to activate the 2nd pump under boost. I routed it from the battery to the two new terminals on the top of the bucket, then up under the hood to a Hobb's switch that I plumbed into my charge pipe. The 2nd pump is set to kick on anytime I'm over 15PSI.

Next up was installing the port injection and upgraded fuel line. I reconnected the battery right before this to test that the LPFP bucket installation worked as it should. For those of you who are aren't familiar with these cars, they run/prime the fuel pump every time a door opens after the car is "asleep". Well, I disconnected the OEM fuel feed line and then opened the door so I could route the upgraded line to the tank. As soon as I opened the door, the pump kicked on and fuel went spraying everywhere out of the open port. I'd assume a gallon of gas was on the garage floor before I quickly plugged the OEM line back in.
Battery disconnected, OEM fuel line out, new fuel line plugged in.


I ran the larger fuel feed line up to the front of the car and started removing parts so I could install the port injection.


Intake manifold removed, port injection plate installed. I added a dab of gasket sealer to the o-rings just to make sure they stayed on.


I connected the upgraded fuel lines to the HPFP and port injection plate. Then I connected all of the injectors to my BMS port injection controller and spent an hour wiring that up to my ECU. I managed to fit everything in the DME box for a stealthy installation. Everything went back together smoothly and you can't even tell the port injection is in there unless you look for it.

After everything was back together, I connected the battery and went to test that the port injection worked. As soon as I did, the fuel pumps primed and I heard fuel spraying under the car. Not just a small leak, it was dumping fuel - another gallon or two on the floor. I quickly disconnected the battery and investigated.
Well, my dumb ass forgot to plug this port on the plate! The kit comes supplied with a proper plug and o-ring... make sure to use it!

I wrapped things up and went out for my first full tank of pure E85. No more mixing!

The car pulls strong on 28PSI, stay tuned for more updates!

Im weary because he says it pulls hard. The last car I was in that pulled hard had over 300hp.

Guy is a con-man

Tonight's sunset was incredible.

Well, it does have 240hp

Larger inlets and outlets are on. Coolant pipe, water pump, thermostat reinstalled with new hoses. Power steering pump and intercooler reinstalled. Downpipes attached and O2 sensors connected. Subframe secured with new motor mounts. Hoping to connect vacuum lines and tidy up some loose ends tonight. Should be able to start it after adding oil, coolant and power steering fluid.

Flickr is my vote.
I previously used photobucket until the really went haywire with their ads and I got some "ladies of the night" popups at work. That was the end of that. 

On it's day to shine, the LS M3 decided that it's alternator wanted to stop alternating...hard to find parts on a holiday lol. Got her up and going again tonight. 

No factory option. The first modern non-M car to get an optional LSD was the M235i.

Update on the 135i:
I had a BMW technician friend do some work to the car. I didn't want to deal with dropping the transmission while laying on my back on the floor of my garage. I just wanted to concentrate on the turbo install, so he did the following:
Replaced upgraded clutch with an even more upgraded clutch (Spec Stage 3+, kept my MFactory SMFW in there) New bellhousing bolts, throwout bearing and clutch fork Replaced transmission mounts with poly upgraded mounts Replaced shifter bushings with upgraded parts Replaced rear pinion seal and flush/fill the differential
I picked up the car and expected the clutch to be a pain to drive. Surprisingly it isn't much worse than the OEM 335is/550i clutch. Definitely daily driveable! The shifter feels tighter and notchier, I'm very happy. I put about 30 miles on the clutch and brought the car home to get started on the turbo install. I put the car in the air and took off the front bumper right away.


I don't have the most tools in the world, but I managed to get the subframe and steering rack out in about 4 hours. Another 2 hours and I had the fan, engine mount, downpipes, intercooler, inlets, outlets, water pump, and coolant lines out of the car.





I felt pretty accomplished after all of this. I discovered what coolant tastes like and was covered in grime, but knew I was making good progress. I decided to call it a night and clean up the garage so I could get a fresh start after work tonight again. Next step is to remove the oil pan and replace that gasket, and then remove the stock turbos.

Any use of that unit is a bad idea.  With MHD as an option at a cheaper price there isn't a need for the PROcede.

wow hahaha i totally read that wrong

I bet it'll show up at EAG for like 40K in a few weeks

Nice! Some cool cars there. I would have come by if I wasn't helping a friend move his toolboxes this morning.

Nice shots!
