How much work did it take to get those 285s to fit? Any rubbing? Nice build!

Thank you! I have not had them on while the car is running. I got the rears rolled and grinded down the rear trailing arm a little bit so far. For the front I have some carbon fiber victory function +15mm fenders. And I know im going to have to do some trimming. Check out R/T Ernie's for sale thread for his nt03's and scroll through some of the comments. He answered some questions you might have. I will report on it when it's up and running with all the bugs fixed.

Paint done

Paint is looking good. It's a BMW individual color called Azurite Black. Looks amazing in person.

This is a beautiful build man. Can't wait to see her all done. What do you plan to do with all that power, other than kick some serious a$$?

Also, I noticed you have the Driveshaft Shop 900HP Complete Front Axles. Are you running ABS? Did you have any issues with the ABS ring on the axles?

Good stuff,

I built this car with the intention to have a bad *** street car and to compete in the sedan class at Shift S3ctor. While at the same time being able to attend shows and not be an eyesore. I pretty much want a presentable race car with a full interior. As far as the Axles my car does still have the abs system in it. If I have any issues with the 900HP Axles from DSS I will try and piece something together with my old Axles I have but if I'm not able to the abs will come out. The car has yet to be driven.

Austin over at STM is piecing together my turbo kit so enjoy some progress shots

The turbo kit is a top mount twin scroll t4 1.0 ar with a 6870
Billet Radiator with -16 upper and custom fill water neck
Magnus intake manifold / k tuned 90mm tb
With all intercooler and turbo piping vanjen style clamps

More pics coming soon. This is their mock up car btw

As others have pointed out, your choice of cams is interesting. I also think you choice of engine is a bit odd, considering your goals and turbo choice. I would think a 2.1 or 2.0 to be a better mate for your turbo choice. You've selected a turbo that requires either RPMs or larger displacement to make viable, and mated it to a bottom end that is the most limited as far as RPMs go and not large enough in displacement to make a difference. Your setup sounds badass if you were to consider a smaller turbo, but boring in the configuration that's being presented.
Sorry for not having a wholly supportive post. I know Internet criticism can be harsh/annoying. I just wanted to give you some food for thought.

2.2slr would be ideal. Extra displacement, but still good to rev to 9500. Its what English racing set the 1/2 mile record with.

The goal has never been to break records. 80% street and 20% race. Also think you might be confusing that actual cam part number as the duration, it's a 280 cam. I built the car for myself. Just sharing on the forum. I do not need to please every soul on here. I've done my research and I'm well aware of the options available. There are a lot of variables that I've taken into consideration while choosing parts and the parts list has changed significantly since starting the build.
