Made some stainless hardlines for the brakes



New 2jz engine connectors arrived.
New TXL wiring and pin crimper on the way


Mostly been distracted with our newest endeavor! 1000sqft of awesomeness


Laid some rubber on the floor before tearing into the ///M for a full engine rebuild on the s52
I'm excited to get the 240 moved to the shop, but it's kinda on hold until the bimma is back up and re-listed for sale.

so far I've avoided every specialty BMW tool, hopefully the good luck continues!

thanks. How'd the sealant go? It's funny stuff
Fuel is plumbed to the firewall, need to sort out adapting the stock rail to -an




The engine harness got a little daunting, so I've taken a break from that and started the chassis harness. Starting to realize that making an engine harness from scratch is going to be the easiest way to go about it; new wiring would be a huge benefit as well.

Giving the twist a shot

Awesome car. Made me so happy when I saw the Fire Barrier sealant bacause I just bought the same stuff an hour ago and was worried it wasnt the right stuff. Fuel cell hatch looks spot on!

Decided to tackle engine wiring myself and avoid spending another $1000 on a swap harness. Scavenging the stock engine harness with plans of tucking, extending, patching any tears, and replacing old broken connectors.
I've tested just about every connector for continuity. Going to start cutting unnecessary connectors, removing the wiring and patching torn/exposed sections. After realizing what all has to stay to keep the stock twins makes me want to go single turbo, but my bank account tends to disagree with that thought..


Ordered some new 5lug hubs, but only my front hubs showed up; they claim to be sending out another pair of rear hubs, maybe I'll end up with an extra pair?
My stock knuckles were s14 apparently, so the hardware doesn't work with my PBM knuckles. Took a bit if searching, but a specialty order at the dealer and I should have new hardware by the end of this week.


Not bolted up, but you get the idea
18x10.5et15 at full lock with a little more room if I adjust bumpstop. The rear of the wheel wells have been beat in to fit 18s while slammed so hopefully a 235/40 will clear at my height?
