Putting these photos I took here just for record keeping.


























Oil pan progress is slow / nonexistent.

^Yes, perfect excuse to supercharge with a massive blower.

for sure raise the motor and cut a hole in the hood.

Dry Sump it

Why not raise the engine?

This, unless it's already maxed out height wise.

Done it twice already. Won't be able to close the hood if I lift it again. Come on guys, give me a little credit here.

Front fitment when it's sitting on the pan.

Damn son.

Saw the Az plates in the earlier pics. Apparently you were one of the smart ones that got out haha

Seriously though, wish there were some more cars like this rolling around in Phoenix. This thing is gorgeous.

Your car makes me so happy.
I can't wait for my girlfriend to bag her e21.

[Evil Panda]

Love it.

Interested to see how you shorten the M42 pan. I've been tossing around the idea of swapping an M42 into my 2002 eventually, which will be on air as well. The pan has been a bit of concern though because of how low it hangs. Is it pretty straight forward?

I'm going to take that angle out of the front to try and retain as much capacity as I can. I only have to shorten it 1.25" so It looks like I wont lose much. I'll post pics of how I cut it apart.
