So after 3 years of bullshit, broken oilpumps and running out of budget multiple times, this time it's time to do it properly. Small recap of 2017: Some cosmetic work: Horrible graphics: And engine work: {} {} Ported head and higher compression: {} Resulted in: Was running a bit too rich below 4000rpm here, and noticed he coilovers are shit: So after one short round at Nurburgring Drift Cup 1 in April, a kinda succesfull round 3 of Nurburgring Drift Cup in July, I had a testday at Emmen in September, where after 30 minutes my oilpump went bust for the 3rd time in 3 years. {} {} Now I was done with it and haven't seen the car since September 3rd. Now it's time to get things done properly, and rebuilt the whole car. Cage is gotta go and car is gonna get a new cage, bullitproof oilpump, new suspension (probably BC Racing), revise some minor things, get some weight off, get the cosmetics done again, and so on.. I'll go and put some updates and vlogs on here early January, and tips are always welcome offcourse! I'll also post a small current speclist here: - M54B30 - Remapped MS43 - Custom software: 7000rpm, 102 octane - Head ported - 0,65mm MLS headgasket (0,85 stock) - CR +- 10.8/11:1 - +- 300hp | 370nm - M50B25 intake mod by P-Motorsport - K&N 57i Performance kit - Schmiedmann headers - Single pipe 60mm straight pipe exhaust - Custom CCV w/ catchcan Aandrijflijn: - 100% diff (3.38) - FX Stage IV clutch - FX LUK vpressure plate - FIDANZA lightweight flywheel (5,8kg) Handling: - Kosak Performance lock kit (+-55 degrees) - Diederichs coilovers - EBC Yellowstuff brakepads front - EBC Greenstuff brakepads rear - Zimmermann perforated discs - Silver Project camber plates Extra's: - Custom rollcage - Lexan windows - IRP V2 Shortshifter - Silver Project handbrake - Powerflex bushings - King Racing coated bearings - M3 style frontbumper - Ala-Plast fender flares

So, it's time. finally got the keys to our new shed, so got the 46 in here and couldn't wait starting on it. {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr After 3 months of not doing anything on this car, I couldn't wait. {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr Engine and cage gotta come out ASAP, so starting taking the front of and made a start on the interior. {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr And then called it a night. {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr

After a lot of bullshit in the last 4 years, time to do it right. Received my Parkin Racing Developments M52/M54 oilpump, with a sidenote that I should do my best breaking this one {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr Also prepped the chassis to cut the cage, and testfitted a 'fresh' rearbumper. {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr {} Untitled by Kevin Hoff, on Flickr
