good lord...this is gonna be magnificent!

Magnificent does not even begin to describe what this will become. I love all your builds you.



I think sumptuous and resplendent fit this well.

Y E S. Is the goal to keep this car for pro1 as well? (assuming thats your plan.)

This is going to be good.

Exciting

Mate you really do know how to take it to the next level, these builds are truly beyond what 99% of us would ever be able to carry out, incredible outcome on the previous cars and I cant wait to see what becomes of this, beautiful work so far

I'm speechless.. so much win! please continue!

Oh good god, this will be epic.

i´ve always wanted to see a nice e92 pro drift car. so hyped for this

sweet baby jesus

I salute you sir. This is quite hella dank.

god damn you work fast, gonna miss seeing that s13 tho

Appreciate the positive feedback guys, I know theres not much to show yet but I promise this will be a hell of a machine once completed. So the plan is this to be a Pro 1 car, i plan to run it for 3 seasons. Any time I start missing my s13, i just picture how rad this car will be.

I was sad to see the s13 go and a little surprised you went with a 328 but after reading this and seeing your goals I am so excited to see what's going to come of it. Funny enough I was at horse pass when you got you license like a month ago and I'm actually in that pic you posted lmao. I'm having a 1jz swap done at 18fab as well in the next month or so so who knows maybe I'll see you around. Are you going for the same style as your s13 or more of a time-attack look? I know the e92 looks great with hotboy wheels and that would sure be cool to see in the Pro rounds haha.

Haha nice. James is a good dude i'm happy to be working with him on this. I havent announced what I'll be doing for wheels but itll be stylish. We'll see how much room I have to play with once the wisefab is on the car and that will also be determined by what size tire I can run because it's currently up in the air whether or not Pro 2 will be a spec-tire series. But I wouldnt say time attack

Looks like yet another quality build. Stoked that it'll be a BMW this time. Make me proud.

[dubs&boost]

[I_Haz.:R32]

This thing should be a monster! Super stoked to see more progress.

btw, A bunch of the early pics in the thread don't show up for me, I'm not sure what the deal is there...

[Mystic]

So much win!

Small update: The transmission and bellhousing showed up. We had them ship in a specific container so if i ever have the ship it to be rebuilt its a clean solution.

The transmission is awesome, its a very quality piece. All the machining is impecable and its insane how little rolling resistance there is and zero play virtually

The bellhousing is also rad. The thing seriously weighs 5 lbs... Full magnesium with midplate mounts so we can further tie the drivetrain directly t o the framerails. And its designed for a tri light TOB so i can remove the trans by unding the 4 main Muncie bolts.

And then yesterday I woke up to a call thinking my shop was broken into. But luckily it was just the wind. I readjusted the tracks and were good to go.

Now omw to pick up the full wisefab system.

Congrats Blake on everything you've accomplished over the last few years. Im still hoping that someday we will all get to see this FC finished up lol

Thanks a ton dude. Haha it will be very soon. We dynoed it a couple weeks ago but broke the flywheel so motor has to come back out. I need to make a post about it soon lmao.

And as promised, heres the Wisefab kits for front and rear. Everyone I've talked to says this is the most developed system they have ever made. These 2 boxes are whats gonna make this car an animal.

Here's the rear kit. The benefit of this is it changes the kinematics to aid in forward bite as well as side bite, enabling me to maintain more speed sideways, and be able to catch the hard chucks. The toe arms are slotted so I can adjust the amount of toe in under compression as well as antisquat. It's also effectively a drop knuckle so the car can be lower while cycling correctly.

Although i wish this car used a true rear coilover, the benefit of a separate spring is that it will be much quicker to make quick spring changes.

And front kit. Obviously adds a ton of angle, but also flattens the contact patch, and lessens the needed caster, so that the car doesn't place as much bind on itself and allows the car to maintain speed at angle.

And heres how the doorbars are turning out. Nascar outer bars and an inner V bar. Theres been so many drivers that have gotten injured from side impacts. The passenger side will have only a nascar bar.

And how the A-pillar lines up allowing barely enough room for a 1" dimple gusset. Should look great and tight fitted.

Love seeing this, The rear separate spring from shock system is the bane of my existence and I always wanted to find a way to convert to a true coilover but it would involve reinforcing the shock mounts. I'm sure if you figured out a way to reinforce it you could get way better wheel rates but I have a feeling the guys at Wisefab designed that system to work just fine. In for pictures of the lock after that kit is on!

[06RawRsx]

Holy shit, I think I know the guy that bought your s13. Was his name Larry? If so, I hope to see it in person soon before he changes it all up. It looks amazing and can't wait to see what you do with the bmw.

I talked to james about this but theres no need on this car at least. The spring is outward enough that I don't think this will be a negative factor as far as wheel rates go, and i do like the ease of changing springs. Hopefully weekend after next I can bringall the new parts down there and get to work installing it!

Yep Larry is the new owner! As far as I know he wants to keep the livery for now, I'm sure he'll remove some sponsor stuff(i hope) haha but keep the same theme going.
