    I got hit while waiting to turn right at a red light. Pizza delivery girl looked down at her gps and thought when she saw my car move forward and thought the light had turned green.

    I've not been keeping this updated as I've been putting in work. I'm doing A LOT of upgrading and changes since my car was totaled. I had to find another shell, i bought 2 actually, but one, 97 328i manual, needed body work and a full interior swap and sat at the paint shop for 6 months, so I decided to get another one, 98 328i auto, that didn't need the bodywork or paint, plus was already black interior. I have a Frank Ramos, aka e36hater, built block with eagle rods, NV head with s52 cams, RSI manifold, Boostlab BL67 turbo, precision 46mm wastegate, tial type BOV, aftermarket fuel rail, aeromotive fpr, going e85 fuel, so walbro helcat 535 fuel pump, -6an fuel lines, RK Tunes e85 stock dme obd2 tune, and 3.5 downpipe and exhaust. I had to completely swap over front and rear subframes as mine were e36 m3 and already with new bushings in the rear and new control arms up front. Also had to manual swap this car but i had everything needed anyway, but went with chase bays clutch line and updated master cylinder. Im still getting it all together, but it should be running soon!!

    Nice parts! Any reason you went with Boost Lab 67mm turbo and which tread stone IC is that 1235R?

    My original choice was going to be a Borg Warner sxe366, but a lot of people who run them say even tho they're great turbos, they're a little laggy and then you need a marman flange for the downpipe. The Boostlab turbos have been proven to work, and they rebuilt my turbo a few years ago, so I know they do really good work. Pretty much like having a precision or garrett turbo. Helped they had a really good Black Frida sale too. But yes, also a treadstone 1235 intercooler. Used the 22RPD IC mounts and it sits perfect

    Sucks your car got totaled. Subbed to this thread.

    ...When you get a blackeye from trying to change the shift knob.

    Been soo busy i haven't updated. Got this all buttoned up around April. Gonna load of some pics i took along the way. Kept ac with the rsi manifold, and had to modify one line coming off the compressor to run so it didn't hit the manifold.

    I made my own valve cover heat shield, had some things powder coated. I have a highlight reel of my parts and the build on IG, @boogydownboskey if you want to check it out

    And the new project....420g six speed swap. Since im already running a dkm twin disk, all I needed to order qere nww clutch disks and an e46 m3 throwout bearing.
    Already ordered my shifter, now need a driveshaft and transmission crossmember
