Hey guys, I'm home from school for the week and was able to button things up on the car.

Picked up an AMS shift knob. It changed the entire dynamic of shifting the car. It may be one of my favorite mods yet.




Finished up the Curt Brown Extreme Port IM and Full Blown 70mm TB Install. The 45* fuel rail fitting ended up doing the trick. Thanks Collin for the info on that! I also finished making my catch can lines and am very pleased with how it all came out.





She just wants to be driven.





Edit: I also think my brother's new daily is worthy of noting.

Nice to see some more progress with the Evo I have always been a fan of the E30's and looks like your brother picked up a good one

Block has been done for a while, I just need to decide on what I am doing with the head and get it done I have been averaging about 45-50 hours of work a week and just get tired and don't want to get things done very fast I am picking up my injectors, pump and manifold this weekend though and hopefully that will be the needed motivation I need to get this thing done

Work really tends to bog down car time, and for me causes my motivation to take a hit. Sounds like you're about to make some serious progress though .

Perhaps an S3 idle vid will help?

Really nice. Clean e30, too.

So, are you able to drive her, now?

Thanks guys! I'm at school now unfortunately so I can't drive it, but over Christmas break I may throw some E85 in and tune it on the IX turbo and see if I can't make a decent amount of power, seeing as I don't have the cash for a new turbo at the moment.

I should be able to make some decent power on the IX turbo (on E85) with the new cams, IM, and headwork all coupled with the 2.4L.
