The new home build can’t begin soon enough! 

 The E30’s are out of storage and the X5 and Wife’s Mazda get the boot....  Went from a 4 car garage to a two stall...

Here’s to getting the driveway and shop in by the end of may!

Much work that needs to get done on the ‘86...#duplexlife

FALL UPDATE 

I’ve finally made the decision with the drivetrain, and the 2.7i is our the door, and S52 is in... 😀

I found a nice, refreshed/bulletproofed S52 and ZF 5-speed for sale in Belvidere Illinois, and the car is heading down today to have its heart transplant...

The S52 is built nice with Schrick 264/256 cams, 3.5” MAF, 24# flow matched injectors, 93 octane tune with 7,200k redline, full obd2, ews/emissions delete, and a host of other goodness.

Stay tuned for build pics!

Fluorescent red needle paint... a couple coats will do!

Interesting. My biggest gripe with the E30 clusters is the lack of lighting. LEDs help a ton, but the needles are always hard to see at night. I really want to upgrade to illuminated needles, its just a lot of work!

Nice job, I cant wait to see more updates!

Very nice!  Please post your driving impressions once you get around to driving it! Im excited for you man!

Thanks Snap!!  I had a chance to put a few miles on today, and all I can say is wow!

With the schrick cams, it’s pretty docile around town under 4,000 rpms, and very streetable.

Over 4K it is a beast and is hunting for traction.  I couldn’t be happier! 

Too bad I have to put her under wraps soon... can’t wait for the E30 picnic!
