Too funny 😬, but believe me it wasn't going through it. Somehow all the craziness of getting the car done really makes me cherish it that much more. Still its just a car, im glad now my wife and kids are into it and love getting dropped off in the "limo" to school.
We all enjoy weekend cruising from Central PA to Maryland, Annapolis, VA and the Blue Ridge Mountains and even Philly.
Its gonna be a blast to finally get it to Bimmer fest this year.
I'm looking forward to meeting a few of the 43,000 odd people that have followed this torturous journey.

Would you run no air filter? Is that from a marine application or something?
Member
That's the normal s62 trumpets that are normally inside the big air box. To run these I have to run a stand alone ignition/fuel system and filters over each trumpet. The engine in the video had 350 wheel horse power!!! Stock m60 with an emerald stand alone fuel/ignition set up. UK based.

You going to spray yourself? Good piece to use if you haven't sprayed before. Easily reshot if need be and full access all around.

I neither have the patience nor the funds to do such a thing well. I actually have it at the shop with the guy who did the original work so he could finish it properly. I'm paying for materials.

Gonna be a big week, have the rear due to be finished this week, just dropped off the car to have the H&R springs installed. Lining up for Bimmerfest at the end of next month!
I'm planning to rebadge my car with the 70's-80's BMW motorsports roundel. Found an eBay vedor http://r.ebay.com/24Aczc

Nice! What size spacers are you running again and what are the wheels specs? Id stay away from urethane bushings as I heard that usually create a rough ride
Member
Hey purple!! So the spacers are 20mm on a 35 mm of set wheel. So that takes it to 15mm of set for each wheel. I'm running longer wheel bolts to get the proper clearances and factory torque and no# of turns on the bolts. Keeping the other bushings off for now as the shaking was diagnosed to a weak front L shock. Sourcing some bilsteins or something else if recommended. Here she is with the springs on. I included a shot to get a comp for the old clearance.

That's an idea!
May get a set at some point.
Have the car back home now to put the brakes on from gsx biker. Have an appointment at a custom exhaust shop to put on an h pipe as far up the system as possible and fit the exhaust properly to the ACSchnitzer tail.
