    Lights are in! I'm going to rig the blue lights to the fog light switch I think that way I can street drive the car without the police getting upset.

    Also figured out my Surge tank location, lines and fittings come Monday. Thread post or YouTube video for the explanation of fittings/routing? What ya think

    Congrats on the build so far. just made it through your thread (still have to go back and look at the most of the video's). Started the same project 3.5 years ago, and am now starting to get back at it (just have had 4 major life events happen in between buying the car and today).

    Thank you for the few idea's (like the dash). I suspect you did that to keep the factory ECM happy (for the speedo). Also who did your tuning?

    Tuning is done with HP tuners, basically the Roush calibration with a few things adjusted for this car. No major tuning was done apart from making it happy without cats and fuel system quirks.

    Also, radium surge tank is almost completely plumbed, waiting on a few more fittings, I also went with the intank pump upgrade for the M3 hangar assembly with the adapter to -6AN

    Not sure why, but your google drive links failed (your images). congrats on so much progress in just a little over 1 year.

    try it now, I uploaded instead of drive links. and thank you! The car was "complete" enough to drive in roughly 3.5 months which is when I did my initial testing and then drove it the entire year last year pretty much as it was built making small modifications here and there. I have a ton of stuff I want to upgrade, but this thing absolutely rips, and to me not having a car to drive would have been a disaster.

    Working on getting the center console more complete. I need to make some brackets to hold everything together but it's looking good.

    Welp... Broke the first driveline component yesterday. Going to upgrade to a 1350 next and see how that goes.

    Yep, going up to a 1350 now with an adapter I'm going to make. I'm trying to do everything I can to not have to buy a new driveshaft. but if anyone wants to convert their four bolt flange to a 1350 then they'll have this adapter available haha currently the only adapter is from a 6 bolt 330 diff.

    NICE!!! I think I have a 1310 on the back end of my driveshaft, but I think I could easily have that changed over by the shop that made it if needed.

    Yeah I'm half tempted to just throw another one on because it lasted all year last year haha.

    I can pretty much tell you that's what I'd do... Maybe order two so I had a spare, and then throw some nice driveshaft loops on to minimize damage if another yoke comes apart..

    I just ordered a 1350 and I'm going to machine an adapter so I don't have to buy a new input flange

    But yes driveshaft loop definitely

    I'm not clear on the setup, was your old rear u-joint a 1350/1310 hybrid, and the rear yoke on your driveshaft a 1350?

    Excited to see how your adapted setup turns out!

    Correct! There was no rear flange that would Mount to a 1350 and my 4 bolt. the driveshaft is essentially a 2015 Mustang driveshaft shortened. It has the 1350 on it already but I'll probably end up buying a new one of those because it got scraped up pretty bad. It just slides out of the tube and you can put a new one in. So basically I have to make an adapter plate because the 1350 adapter doesn't come in the BMW 4 bolt circle pattern. I already have the cad done for it I just need to get it machined after I do a test fit with a 3D printed one.

    Wait, Fremont?? I was in the Bahamas working, so I don't even have my car running again yet... What driveshaft setup were you running?

    Sweet!! Worked well I guess?

    So that is a spicer 1350 yoke/flange/whatever, adapted via your adapter to the bimmer 4-bolt flange so that you can run a straight 1350 U-joint, correct? Or not...
