Daggerty

Found IRL, I actually forgot about this car, but now that I'm looking for a new project I'm attempting to contact the owner of it. It has been sitting outside of what looks like a vacant warehouse for 3 years. It's either this or another e36 M 😬
5-speed Cosworth

With some finagling I was able to make this one work for now ..I think I mite end up changing it again cause I was in a hurry like usual but it’s a start and my first mock up so will see results ..onto getting my dang a/c condenser out so I can replace that now..so on my way to get my condenser I stopped at the stealer to get a couple orings for the lines to condenser, 12$ for 2 orings and a plastic fill cap wich was less than the rings themselves..is why I could never actually afford to buy a brand new car but dam anyway..,Well here’s a few more pics of the first ‘mockup and a couple pics from the dealer that caught my attention driving out 

After about 1000 miles this year I had my first mechanical issue. 
Had it cranked up to 16 psi due to unfriendly boost air. I did a 1st gear launch and heard a little pop and saw black pieces skipping down the road behind me.  
Radiator is ok one decent dent but no drips, will confirm tomorrow.
It appears that the engine torqued too much and caught the shroud and blew up, not the classic fan explosion.
time to install the electric fan I bought over a year ago

265s, put them in the front. Interested to see how the pipe looks all welded up. Now you won't have to run the quad double double deep intercooler the n54ish guys are running. 
I would say make a jig for the pipe and sell them but the stuff you got rid of wouldn't be considered plug and play for the home gamers.
keep it up

Oil changed with Mobil1 5w50 
Haven't gotten a chance to look into the lock situation, might get to it this weekend. I did, however, finally get into cleaning the interior before the picnic last weekend. I had time to get into everything but the leather on the front seats. It had gotten pretty dirty, but it's looking awesome now. I'm planning to finish up the front seats this weekend and will finally get some pics of the interior in this thread. 
With the super hot weather coming up this weekend I reinstalled the AC belt and tensioner. I had taken it off when I was investigating weird noises maybe two years ago and never got around to reinstalling it. The AC worked well when I bought the car, but unfortunately it doesn't do much anymore. RIP. 
 
I also added another rack to the roof rack so I can carry my mountain bike (it didn't fit the existing racks). Looks good up there

 
 
 

aaaaand the parts go clunky clunk. my CSB sounds like its dead again. assuming my driveshaft is bad, causing the repeated issue from last year. 😢 link for my reference

at least its easy to replace, and I bought it from FCP so ill get a new one for free.
 
 

Better you than me?
Good luck. I'd suggest getting the car running and driving as quickly as possible, and worry about everything else later. Obviously the rest of "the club" has been there and knows the dangers of mission creep and subsequently getting overwhelmed/loosing motivation.
Plus, you're in my spot dude. 😄

Looks like the welting works pretty well...

I have probably 5-10 feet of line laying around so you can get this done for the picnic 

@patsbimmer1 $ check on the kit Daggerty posted pls

Holy shit man that blows!!!
 
I would just keep an eye out for those Drags. Those wheels arent very common and I doubt who ever took them has a use for them. 
 
PEOPLE SUCK.

This guy delivers 4 videos in one post shiiiittt

Someone broke into my storage unit and made off with some wheels. 
3 of these that are black 

2 of these

4 of these that are 17s
5 of these

2 of these with Hoosier slicks on them

4 of these 

just throwing this out there in case someone sees something

I am happy I choose meth 😈 it is one of the path less traveled things that is good. E85 is similar to it by adding octane and cooling abilities, with kind of plug and play once you have the system. Instead of worrying about an extra tank to fill.

There is no reason to run a whole bunch of intercooler piping when the intake is right there. You would just be robbing power. In turbo cars it makes sense because the exhaust is on the opposite side of the intake so you have to run the piping anyways so fmic air to air, yeah. 
Manufactures like to use air to water coolers because they take up less space in a way. You don't have a giant fmic to fit under a bumper cover. And they have more parts so more money for the dealer when they fail. These system also can only do so good if you are doing pull after pull unless you have it plumbed to your ac system or 10 gallon ice tank. 
Both of these also make more restrictions for the intake because you have a core for them to go through, turbulent air ,restriction, blah blah blah. No I am not drunk.
The 1 stage kit you can only have come on at one boost setting but you can tee off the line to put 2 nozzles in. A nozzle before the blower is ideal because it creates a seal around the fins rotors whatever you got. Creating that extra .0002 psi, something to do with it being compressed, moving it fast to evaporate, and its cooling the unit creating the boost down also. Some say this damages the turbine, there is no evidence supporting this. There is evidence however that the meth will eat away at the coating on certain rotors/screws.
When you tune it make sure you have a failsafe for the meth if it stops, weather it be a spark cut or you do your tuning without it then turn it on. Because running a tune created with meth can be as aggressive as race gas but if it stops then you're just on pump gas with a crap load of timing.
everything on the internet about meth can be found above by this guy who wasted his life typing it. Sorry if you read all that

Get @patsbimmer1 to get you a price on this.

I put together my own following this http://www.turbomirage.com/water there is different shuflo pumps you can use then what he has that are cheaper they just take up more space. I can get you the hook up on the lines for it and push in style fittings. The hobbs switch from Napa you can get else where for way cheaper than $30. Depending on what kind of oil pressure switch you can use them. Don't buy the wash rack nozzles he suggests just get some name brand ones that have R&D.
Is it worth doing it yourself? If you are like me and have all the stuff readily accessible at low cost and are the biggest Jew around, offense, then yes. 
If you can get one under $300, then do it if you just want an easy install that's done in a couple of hours. 
 

the glass lenses are identical left and right. the plastic buckets are not.

Did you get the pump in this yet? I was driving near Oshkosh this past weekend and saw a massive plume of black smoke in the skies overhead figured it might be you ripping around...

Agree too big and then they look like a late 80s foxbody

You can do it
