The Project Pad

I'm glad they are handling that situation properly!

:woowoo: :woowoo:

Finally the day has come..hah

Its been almost two months since I've updated this or even seen the old girl :(

Just waiting for some super snazzy parts to get here so I can go down south and put the finishing touches on her for start-up.

I'm using this as an excuse to update:

Thanks Austin for the v8 door sills I think they will look very nice in place of the stock boring 200 20v stuff.



530i is doing very well after a new waterpump (preventative). Its ticking because of a stuck lifter now, but its not hurting anything. Still runs like a top. 55W 5000k HIDs are going in as soon as they get here along with some poly engine/trans mounts. The headlights are WORSE than my 200 and the motor mounts were ripped (like they were in the Audi).

Nice, those are sweet

Hmm, didn't know V8s got metal door sills - nice!

Awesome x3!

I finally got the hardened crank cogs lined up to be made. I need people to put money down to make an order. Pricing will be similar to what EFIexpress was selling them for previously and until strength and fatigue testing can be done on the gears, there will be a liability release involved. PM me for details!

Chris, i just wanted to say..

I am one state away from you.


Im in Atlanta.

BUT, one of these days i will try to make it farther and come and visit you!

DUDE...

I was just in Atlanta over the weekend! You need to let me know ahead of time next time.

gah! I just got here on Sunday, im attending a wedding, but i leave on SUnday to head back to Texas. Sometime next year though, i will be down near florida where you live. I think. Ill ttyl about it.

I'll be going home this week to get the ole' girl running again with these new goodies attached.

Bad ass looking DP, Chris. Like it.
Hope you get this beast running soon.

Yum... yes. I approve. Looking great man!

That's awesome man! Now I need to get a tube mani on mine You should come out to Oregon some time and meet up man!

I'd love to do that sometime Jon. When life settles down (aka steady job and no school), it might become a lot more feasible.

BTW all credit goes to Hank for the pictures above of course.

Here is one more of it completed. 4" is so much bigger in person.... I hope it fits!!

looks nice.
have you seen if it clears the subframe as well though?

when i had a 4inch made(then replaced cause it was not needed), it had to be slightly ovaled in order to clear the subframe and fit between that and the shield in the photo.

I will ship it unterminated like you see it here. Chris will make the bottom portion. Like you said, 4 inch is just about impossible go get.go.fit well without doing the fitment in the car. I am sure Chris will finish it up nicely.

Yeah... not looking forward to trying to get that 4" to fit IN THE CAR. Its OK though... it might just have to come out the fender

I haven't seen a type 44 in a while but I think the subframe lends itself to a 4 more

I'll go eyeball the hole in my 5k... I'm kinda taking a brake on it while I play with the V8 some...
