Getting There... My KA-T build will soon begin.

[Veriest1]

I'll be tearing into her next week with very little deviation from my original plans and I know you guys like pics so here you are.

The car as it sat when I bought it.



Some quick and lousy interior shots too.

That's a blitz exhaust there btw. I think I've got the carbon build up taken care of now. Just need to clean it off.

It's now sitting on my old 5 Zigen GN+ wheels w/tein flex coilovers (w/ pillowball mounts), SPL RUCA, Toe Rods, Traction Rods, and Tension Rods, Kazama Tie Rods, Nismo Power Brace, Whiteline Sways front and rear, and it has Z brakes on the front. I'll get some pics of how it sits now tomorrow for you guys.

Here's what's going on next week. I still have to sort out tuning, IC piping, oil feed, oil drain, and downpipe.





And for future reference here's some close ups of the manifold.

Thanks for the kind words. Heat shielding and wrapping will definitely be taking place. Forgot to mention that.

And umm...

Lowering has already been taken care of.

But since I have nothing better to do I'll go ahead and snap some pics of it all filthy as it sits now. BRB.

Here's some quick shots of how she sits now. I'm so happy that this car is white... it's much harder to tell that it's filthy and covered in dust.









EDIT: I've still got some black stripe to take of the rear.

what are your wheel specs?

[jt15833]

i have blitz realize tt exhaust too, i love it. Sounds very smooth in my opinion, but it does get dirty.

Car looks good, props!

[neverlift]

hey lmk how that pair valve sounds!

[WDRacing]

Clean the weld boogers out of the collector. Don't trust the AFR gauge other then idle.

17x8.5 +32 IIRC They may be +38 but I think I'm getting the Bimmer's wheel specs confused with them.

Why's that? The lights are calibrated to specific ratios up to 12.5:1 (I'd prefer if it would read down into the 11's but it's what I have since it came with a kit after I already had an AFR gauge for the BMW). Split Second is supposed to make really good stuff for BMW's and other Euros but I've never had any experience with their products other than this one that I haven't even used yet.
