Right now we are reinstalling the turbolater.

Items fought with today:

Starter - was torn down to every single part, lubed, reassembled.  Now that works.

Sorry, i don't have pics of this.

Next was water pouring out between belhousing and engine.  Drilled a hole into bellhousing and drained it out.

No pics.

Adjusters for the ride height were stuck.  Much hammering and yelling freed them up.

Exhaust was fabricobbled together.

Next, the waste gate is missing its fire ring gasket.  Axle nut was modified to provide somewhat of a seal.  Let's see if it works!

 

Also, the clutch is seized.  We will try to free that up once everything else is fixed.

Damn what shiny happy person gave them that piece of E36 M3.  Sorry guys.

Clutch freed up.  Exhaust was lengthened. 

 

Car ran around hotel.

 

Makes boost.

 

Breaks up a bit under boost.  Should make it through tomorrow.

 

Angry mofos showed up.  Lots of the plb gang went to help with that.

 

Most builds winding down for the night.

 

Solo hot tub is glorious on sore muscles.

Whoever came up the idea for a cherry bomb with a flip top is a god among men! That is awesome.

I mean now that the GRM Europa completed the challenge, I suggest we start a GRM Manx build thread
