6/21/14

Shant and Matt from @bimmerheads are going to be taking care of my head after I blew a hg this past week. Will be fully done up, hd rockers, port polished and turbo cam, port matched..ect. Looking forward to writing a review and posting up some dyno numbers, 400whp will be cake. Thank you guys again! 

6/26/14

Guys go check out @catuned ! Figured good time to upgrade the axles, rated to 750hp and super reasonably priced. Thank you again!  

7/14/14

Shant @myster__e from @bimmerheads just double checking  things as my head was a little shaved as is. Some porting pics to come as he works on it! I think we'll make it for August St Pocono! @readysetdrift

@myster__e aka @bimmerheads hard at work with my baby!  

7/21/14

More amazing work from @myster__e  at @bimmerheads  only final polishing left. @readysetdrift @cc137 @dewordie we trying to make this event man!  

Engine out tomorrow, waiting on @catuned transmission, head from @bimmerheads and crank scraper and baffle from @wottech. Thank you guys! 

7/24/14

And she's out. Thank you @zenki_718 and @domp90 for the help!  

I woke up this morning to some head. And sweet Jesus it was good.  

@myster__e burning that midnight oil. Port matched exhaust and intake, metric mechanic Springs. She's gonna flow!!

7/27/14

Can't thank this guy enough. Head is all done and soon on its way. Can't wait to bounce this baby off the limiter. 

7/31/14

We Gucci! Thank you @myster__e Shits fucking beautiful.  

Alamost there. Waiting on crank scrapper and baffle from @wottech In the mean time I'll paint that coolant tube. Thank you again everyone! Thanks @domp90 @zenki_718 for the help.  

8/1/14

Think that looks a bit more proper Eh? 

Don't care if spamming it's sexy. @leaperian purple valve cover as recommended. For now until @piotrekhightower can get the bimmer heads logo cnc'd on there!

Keep your oil where it's supposed to be! Grab a crank scraper from John at @wottech 

8/6/14

@catuned is in the house!!! Thank you @catuned_igor  Hope to get this baby diving within the hour. 

8/14/14

Love this stuff!  

Stance makes her dance but spool makes her drool.  

8/17/14

Always  check new thermostats before installing. 20min could potentially save you hours worth of work. Also good idea to drill a 1/8 hole in the outside of the housing for ease of bleeding. 

8/21/14

This could have been avoided. Luckily it only takes me about 30 min to pull a head now. At least I got that going for me. 

Thank you @maximumpsi @rktunes just gotta lay the wire! @wottech @myster__e you guys helped me big time!  

Boom goes the dynamite! 

Love this bad boy.

8/24/14

Here ya go @didd3rson might get her running tonight.  

Run your overflow to the windshield. You'll know quickly if something has gone wrong.  

Got a hook finally. I like.  

9/2/14

Not your average motronic  

@catuned axles going in this week. Poor diff cover  

9/17/14

Finally getting around to installing my @catuned axles. Always torque to spec! Thank you again  

9/25/14

Thanks @extremepsi for the fast shipping.. Loving the new @mishimoto intercooler. 

10/15/14

Awesome time at pocono chasing down @licklider_racing ? jtc design 

One more! 

#crabwalking photo courtesy of @visualsbychad thank you!  

@catuned axles holding up without issues being pounded by @bimmerheads@wanganstyle diff is beast and @condorspeedshop bushings handling all that abuse... Finally @motorsporthardware studs keeping those wheels on..wouldn't be here without these guys, to name a few. Photo credit to @visualsbychad

One more from pocono. Had fun playing catch up with @licklider_racing

11/11/14

Some love from @catuned, true rear coil setup! I'll be running these bad boys soon. Possibly for the next and likely last event of the year.  @silokinautomotive let's get to it!  

Huge thanks to @catuned and @catuned_igor these are a thing of beauty. True rear coil design looks great. Can't wait to run em! 

Seriously stoked to be the first running these race coils from @catuned fully adjustable both front and rear 

11/21/14

Me and @dewordie, at our last event of the season.  He's probably the most humblest person I've ever met, and will ever meet. Thanks for the good times and good sandwiches! Can't wait till next season! 

Nice shot from @visualsbychad 

12/11/14

A sneak peak into what's coming in 2015....I'm picking up some cool parts while @myster__e from @bimmerheads is working on a 3.0L build for me 

What do we have here? More pics when this comes in and I can polish it up,  3.0 m20 will be a beast  

Some engine pron courtesy of @myster__e 

12/24/14

I cannot thank @silokinautomotive enough. The work he's put into the Bimmer and the ideas for next season are gonna be sick. Stay tuned! 

12/30/14

Not much to post lately, here's how @silokinautomotive did the exhaust, I said do something  different and he ran with it. This will be cut flush with the rear bumper once installed. Great work as always, no cutting corners!  

1/7/15

Needs a polish but she's fricken beautiful! 

Mhmm 

Finally about that dual caliper life!  

1/15/15

@silokinautomotive mocking things up, @catuned_igor fan fits perfect! 

Gloves are over rated. 

The fun begins! By @thegred "Step one to a new level of quality turbo manifolds for BMWs.  

1/26/15

Got shifter slop? @condorspeedshop  has a fix. 

@thegred hard at work with the new t4 twin scroll manifold!  

Hope you guys like manifolds... You'll be seeing a lot in the next coming weeks. @thegred still hard at work on the twin scroll beast.  

2/9/15

Just witnessed some horrible fab work so had to cleanse my pallet with some updates from  @thegred "This is the elbow cutting jig I made. Slide it in, tighten it up and boom, cut and angle you need.  Bolts right to the saw. 

2/16/15

@myster__e at @bimmerheads got everything ready for this beastly stroker build! 550whp or bust! 

Thanks @omg_motorworks and @garagistic for the seat mounts. Will look and work great! @madmotorsports can't wait to get the seat mounted up! 

2/20/15

Big boy leggos! @thegred doing some mock up. 

@thegred doing some test fitting with the manifold Legos . Needs some tweaks but she's looking great!

@thegred with his first pass on the new twin scroll manifold collector. Just to reiterate, no wg because we will be putting it right on the turbo exhaust housing. This is looking awesome! 

3/7/15

@thegred redid the collector, this new design has things at a much better angle. Can't wait to see it all tigged up on Monday!

Turbo placement with the new twin scroll @thegred is working on. Precision 6266 fits nicely! 

3/11/15

Thanks for the support @mishimoto super happy to be part of the team!!!  

As usual @thegred doing his thing. Coming along great!

3/17/15

Thank you @uuc_motorwerks @catuned and @catuned_igor can't wait to run this bad boy!  High clamp twin disk feramic!! 

Another step closer... @thegred making sure those runners are equal length, ain't no joke.
