That shifter looks great, Ben.

Did I ever say how much I love the stacks an your car? No? Well, i effing love them.

They do indeed. Awesome news, I'll get some measurements sorted and fire them over! Thanks for the help, appreciate it

do the stacks have a lip all the way around? if so, he can probably make some to suit. send him an email with some dimensions, im sure he'd give it a go. hes a great bloke to deal with.

Not yet no - I have a standard airbox that I'm going to get a filter of some sort onto when I get a spare minute. Then the stacks will have to wait, I'll think of something. Apparently leaving the sock filter some space to dilate stops them ripping, but I'm then worried about the cable tie being on the fatter bit of the trumpet and so slipping down and coming loose. If that makes sense?

Something like your idea would work but as I've got oval trumpets it's a complete bummer. Losing the stacks would be so costly in power. Thanks for the pointer though, got me thinking about other solutions!

shifter looks good, sorted anything for filters yet?

im running these on my e21, theyve held up really well.

No real updates as to be honest, I haven't driven the car for the past 2 weeks. Apart from a little outing in the rain which was great fun - no chance of getting the power down in first or second, even third was pushing it a bit.

Only exciting thing is that this has turned up. It's the new Bimmerworld 'Little Nicky' gearknob. I've been wanting to fit a Quaife nylon gearknob for a while now but delayed as it means getting a custom shifter made to allow a screw-on knob. I'd been talking to UUC about it and they were going to produce something for me, but when this came out it solved all my problems. It's made from Delrin and uses the same snap-fit as OEM knobs, so there's no fiddly, ugly grub screws to work their way loose. Can't wait to try it out - the machining on it is so perfect, inside and out.

No update as such, just drove it to the Total M Cars/Evolve Automotive meet. Without a doubt the least tidy car there.









Also made this quick vid of the car. Just from passengers filming on phones, nothing crazy.

Those links are great to know! Makes an S54 look more possible into my E39! Awesome.

[BenKoflach]

dont know how i missed the s54 going in, wanted one for mine, but would've required engineering in australia, s50 just needed paperwork. been following your build for a while, and always good to see what you've got up your sleeve!

Thanks, big fan of your build!
