Gotta grab some spacers to clear the concaves up front, so flat faces for now. But man those #apexwheels look good! 

Loving this @individualracingparts shifter!

One of my favorite shots from this past event, thanks @ezshoots

@wanganstyle hooking it up with a large case diff.. Cause why not? Medium case he built is still going strong. 

7/25/17

Intake repaired and reinforced and nearly ready to go back on. 

Very much love/hate with this intake manifold. It's back on and cars nearly back together. Yay. 

7/30/17

Ditched the badly fitting dtm fiberwerkz junk for some proper stuff.

By reason or by force ?@brittanyariannamedia

This little dude apparently watched me all day Saturday with his little brother and mom but was shy and never came up to me. Finally talked to me at the end of the day, told him if he came again Sunday I'd give him and his brother a ride. They had a blast and want come to all the events.

When you come in a little too hot. On the plus side, this car has been nothing but reliable this season. Haven't broken a single thing. Next year, some small changes though. Sorry I have no idea who took this pic

Poor gal has taken such a beating this season. Will be pretty next year.

10/1/17

@wanganstyle working on mine and @motorsporthardware's large case diffs! 

12/10/17

@wanganstyle hooking it up with the large case diff, fits e30 subframe just need to make dual ear mounts for the e46m diff cover.  

12/11/17

And like that the large case e30 diff is nearly ready to come home.  

2/14/18

E30s apart, heads over at @bimmerheads for a refresh, while the manifold is with @rebellionforgeracing for a little cleanup and look over. Engines in great shape, gonna check the bearings and slowly prep for the upcoming season. 

2/18/18

@boostmeupbuttercup came by and we finished pulling everything. Cannot wait to start doing some re assembling eventually lol 

3/2/18

Been awhile since I've posted about the e30. Just picked up by @silokinautomotive to get some fab work done. Lots of plans to get her 100%" for this season. Huge thanks to all my sponsors, couldn't do this without ya!.. Excuse the missing rear widebody ? 

5/12/18

Been awhile since I've posted my own car stuff. Mostly because there's still lots of work being done. On the plus side, my new #twindisc came in and it looks awesome! 

5/24/18

@rebellionforgeracing went over the manifold he made for me 2 years ago and cleaned it up. Added some bungs for when I get around to ordering an anti lag setup from @brewedmotors and Melvin doing final inspection! 

Really hate to have to cover this up for my coils, @red46sumparmor we need a solution! 

6/3/18

I've had this chassis for 6 years, started out as my daily driver. Has helped make lots of friends along the way, can't wait to finally have it fully done the way I want it this season 

Not that you need more of a reason to go to @bimmerheads but this is my #6 rod bearing after 2 years of abuse at 600hp/tq protected by @motorsportfluids oil ? 

6/23/18

Some more progress with fitting stuff for the rear mounted radiator. FYI these cast parts were absolutely horrible to weld to, lots of impurities in em so they're not perfect but good enough. Fittings courtesy of @phenixindustries 

7/6/18

Stopped at @bimmerheads while visiting LA. My new head is coming along, welding is done. Going to be ported and some larger valves installed, custom cam going in as well as a few other goodies. Can't wait to get back driving! Check em out, they now have a full shop capable of doing every sort of build, or even just maintenance work! 

7/20/18

@silokinautomotive absolutely knocked it out of the park with this rear mount rad and large case diff install! Amazing work! 

Still need to trim some of the trunk but man this looks so good. 

8/22/18

Little teaser of some @bimmerheads intake port work on my new head. Still needs to be finished up and polished, but she's gonna flow nicely. 

9/1/18

@fferacing taking care of making sure these flanges are straight on my very well used @rebellionforge turbo manifold! 

Also dropped by @silokinautomotive to grab some powder coated stuff. Amazing work as always!  

10/26/18

Been hard at work with e30 stuff, even if my car has been MIA hiding in my garage. First sets of intake runners are going out for test fitment at @bimmerheads as well as @nv_e30. After fitment they will be cnc'ed from aluminum and used for my dual plenum m20 intake. Will also be offering a batch for a "diy" kit with plate for those wanting to make their own plenum. Also working on aluminum door handles (with trim) , as the stock handles always seem to break. 

11/15/18

Been a long year of not driving, I can't wait to come out ready to go for next year. Big thank you to all the companies and friends who have been a huge help! ?@therealphotobear double fingers for you! 

12/22/18

Some progress on the m20 intake. Will likely be offering a plenum on them if all goes well with test fitment on @nv_e30's car with a booster delete. The idea for the design of the dual plenum is pulled right from Audi's group b rally cars and Lemans car and works extremely well for ensuring all cylinders see the same amount of air in boosted applications, if you're interested see my previous post for pricing and more info. 

1/14/19

@bklynmfg started cutting the velocity stacks for the m20 intake manifold. Really awesome to see a project go from dots on a screen, then 3d printed mock up parts, to having actual stuff in hand. 

1/21/19

@bklynmfg killing it, the first and only billet aluminum m20 intake manifolds are slowly taking shape (these are still un finished) 

2/3/19

Slowly getting there, need to trim some sheet metal for the rear rad and add some ducting. Axle angles are dead straight, will keep those u joints happy.
