bump for Bryan, went to a meet with him in this…my only complaint was I didn’t put sunscreen on my face/forehead - then had a burnt face the whole next week!

Seriously, the car is awesome and grabs attention wherever you go.

That’s 18PSIs old car right? I always loved the way it looked and its a pretty solid setup under the hood. I’m currently building up my 10AE and know how much it costs to do what you have there. This will be a true bargain for the new owner, it would cost _way_ more than $9k to duplicate that car.

Shush lol, I didn’t want to sell it and felt like a dick and backed out but he then offered me more. I’m getting a 330ci next to keep me happy for a few years, a house this summer and a bike as well. I think I’ll be alright.

How much of a pain was it to pass inspections?

Wasn’t too bad once I figured out what I was doing. Never really understood how a turbo car worked until I took that car and put it back to stock myself. It really depends on the setup tho, hardest part for me was getting at a couple screws on the compressor housing because it had to be removed to get the turbo out. But putting it all back together from stock including injectors I wanna say it took me three to four hours. I also remember plugging the mega squirt back in was quite the pita due to location.

I’m looking at the BEGi Shanghai Kit but swapping out the turbo for a used Garrett. FM would be nice, but I’m basing my budget off my income tax return. This probably won’t be purchased until next winter when I have my house.
