Still no DP/Manifold from CP-E -- Have a looksie at my m3/m4 opinions thread. Should I get one? https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/bmw-m3-4-f80-f82-opinions.6749/

I fucking love you guys, very nice build some more details would be nice if you have a blog :)

Purple Nurple/Purple Beast had some minor work done. Put in the smaller battery tray for 51R with a braille 21# battery, 9lbs lighter than 51r 16bs lighter than stock. An AGM 51R would've been $120-$200 anyway so I figured I'd save some more weight at the same price. Plus these batteries have a...

Turdwich 2.0 - Still waiting on tires (FML - of course they're on backorder). Found some local wheel/tires I may pick up for $400 with genpu wheels. Purple Beast (My MS6) - Back in hand finally from the body shop, looks pretty good. Color match looks close except in low light, will need to...

yes @jsmith already mentioned this, it's an easily modifiable table.

I know the CS RMM on my MS6 is the tits - I've rode in cars with other mounts or stock blown RMM's and holy shit the vibes are bad. My other mounts are completely stock and I have very little slop even with the low end torque E85 provides. The only PMM to consider is DM - best design period for...

Google-fu - think about it you're removing a restriction in favor of top end HP, there's always a compromise. There's plenty of posts around about it more knowledgeable and detailed about the subject than me. Now if you replace with a new manifold designed to make more power everywhere that...

Yes, but deleting VTCS will provide better power up top with a little loss in mid-range torque.

On a stock IM I don't think we'd see much difference. On a manifold of equal size to the TB I'd expect to see at most 100-200rpm decrease in spool and maybe 10whp mid range w/ nothing up top. Reducing pumping losses is beneficial no matter what. It would be cool if you flow tested a stock unit...

So the car turdwich 2.0 saga continues today. Power steering pump is leaking in one of two places, definitely leaking where the o-ring meets the pump and new x ring on order from mcmaster carr. I'm not sure the PS pump even has an o ring where it meets the res because it's floppity as fuck...

Did you read the goals & methodology? 2867 won't hit 450WHP without busting it's ass and being on the ragged edge of efficiency especially when factoring in AWD not to mention won't hit 500whp like I'm looking to do when I build the block. Second, I specifically stated WHY I have a gtx3071 -...

I went with .64 - There's really no information at all on .64 on the MS forums .82 should increase lag by about 300RPM to increase top end by about 30-40whp. Seeing as how my current goal before building is 400whp - .64 is plenty sufficient for now. The factory flanged ATP hotside is .55 and...

New tires incoming will be ordering them today - replacing with federal ss595's because one new one is already on there (need to measure tread depth first to make sure it wasn't used) and cheap. This weekend is set to address the power steering leak, I got under the car but EVERYTHING is...

Wet sanding - 1000 Grit (horizontal) followed by 3000 grit (vertical) then polishing with a hand drill. This is one of the best kits on the market IMO: http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g3000-heavy-duty-headlight-restoration-kit/ although the part number has changed. I used these...

Another problem solved for the car today - decided to do something quick that didn't take a huge time commitment so I fixed the headlights since they looked like garbage. I love making headlights look brand new - so easy and everyone flips their shit with the results. Was teaching my neighbor...
