E39 Build: 6.0 LS. Coils. Burnouts.

[nsogiba]

Took a deposit on the car last night, sale pending. If it falls through (doubtful) I will let everyone know.

I have 459 miles to go before I can do burnouts on this clutch :/

Don't act like you're still in love with this thing.

I saw it on craigslist.





You filthy animal, you.

So the LS7 clutch and flywheel combo is in and working out well. The old Diamond Stage 2 Clutch and 18lb flywheel worked great for me but always took a bit of effort to drive very smoothly. While I was under there I also added a copper washer under the detent ball plug (AKA Anti-Venom mod) to reduce shifting effort a touch. The combination of the above has worked well to make driveability much smoother. My only gripe is that the LS7 clutch engages right off the floor but I am told that it will self adjust as I put on the miles - only have about 45 miles on it so far.

Side note - I really have to stop taking pictures with a potato

The new lift made it SO much easier to get that big trans out. I am able to comfortable roll around underneath on a stool.

I just read the entire thread wow such a nice build! So much attention to detail, I wouldnt be afraid to buy it at all (im too poor). But now, seing your last post and the attention you've given it so far, I would much much rather see you keep it and boost the damn thing do it!! The awesome factor would be through the roof

I apologize to all for taking so long to get engine bay pictures, but I wanted to give it a good cleaning first. Here we go:

My favorite feature:

Power is estimated at 380whp/380 ft lbs.

It can easily be bumped up 50+whp with some better heads and less restrictive exhaust.
