I pop in from time to time lol. I have a renewed interest in the ol' girl, as the latest motor seems to be a winner. Currently has 2,600 miles on the motor and 118K on the chassis.

I put a new battery in yesterday and fearlessly drove it to work today. She still boosts...

What would shipping to 19460 be for the aluminum bits?

Please let me know if the avo sale falls through.

I’ll update my build thread when I have a few days

Why so long? What am I missing?

 

The short story is... changed shops = new motor, changed shops = new motor, changed shops= new motor

The original build started in 2013

 

Currently running an out out front v4 closed deck, worked heads and breaking in a new sb stage three clutch. Once the clutch is broken in she will go back in the dyno.

It’s been a year or two for me lol...

I drove my car yesterday and today.... it has been quite sometime.

I sent you a pm.

I sent you a pm about the pedal covers.

Bummer... I sure something will turn up. You could always buy my OBXT

Killer numbers!!!

I watched the motor go back in today.

Good times!!! I liked my sb s3 endurance clutch. What ever happened to stage 2ish?

Does BMB still come around?

Okay, so why sedan to truck? And what did the shop finish up for you?

 

I've been going to my shop more often lately. Don't got time, time better spent with family, don't want to do hours of research for a one time job. Pretty sure I'll drop off the OB with them when the flex fuel kit arrives. I was going to replace the new fuel pump myself, since I've done it before, but even that I'm thinking I'll even leave that to them. Lucky for me they pretty much just work on Subies and Evos, so got a one stop shop.

 

 

 

The BMW was a wagon, I’m a creature of habit. Wagons and tacos lol. The only vehicle I regret selling was my 2nd gen Tacoma. I have been keeping an eye on the taco market for years, a really nice 2017 dcsb offroad came up for sale locally so I jumped on it.

 

As for the shop... the car blew a head gasket. Upon further inspection, they found a few other little problems. So 14mm headstuds ( these were supposed to be used on the first go around), ss o-rings, copper hg and new wires/harness from the firewall forward. I may be forgetting something’s lol.

 

 

I don’t mind doing some work myself, but feel like my time is better spent with the kiddos. Plus the truck has a warranty .

Hey you're still here? I thought you got rid of the car and was just driving the bmw.

 

 

 

loose wires connection somewhere?

 

 

 

Yeah I’m still around . I sold the BMW and bought a Tacoma. I have been lurking from time to time and will probably insert my presence now that the OBXT is being put back together.

Paid the shop to put it back together.

Damn....now I have to put my car back together

You have a pm.

Damn I loved that car with the 3sdms

They sourced and installed everything.

My 5mt swap cost around $5200-5500 but it was done by a shop. It would be considerably less if you do it yourself.

Sub scribing with words because I can't upload pics with my iPad

What a d bag...
