Added a PWR radiator to the list. Still on the hunt for an oil cooler. Im trying to source a used VK motorwerks kit and upgrading the core to a setrab unit.
If that doesnt keep the oil temp in check, I will try running another oil cooler in front of the radiator (since ar's unit doesnt bolt in) in series, so the cooler oil is running through the aux oil cooler behind the grills (minimizing heat transfer to the coolant, i dont know how much it matters, but it sounds good in my head.) Im so excited to get started! |

so today was the third day of work, its going alright except for the subframe bushings, and the order i haven't received because it shipped a month late from hpa.
I'm gonna see if i can get Klaus Peter to replace the bushings when he does my alignment. I really wish my shiny new toe arms were on the car now though. |

All i hear is how he is the best guy for bmw's and mini's, but he has utterly failed to impress me. Ive thrown away enough money there. My car will never return, and i will never recommend anyone to take their lawnmower there, much less their car. /rant |

I know building a car is not without hickups, but that is just unacceptable to me. Im getting my fenders rolled thursday, and i will ask him to take a look. I triple checked the part #'s on the bushings i ordered from dan@united, and they are the same bushings everyone else in the world is putting into their 1ers.
On a side note, one of my new tires is not holding air. Its getting taken back to the shop tomorrow to see what the deal is. Hopefully they didnt tear the sidewall putting the tire on. its a 255 on a 9.5, nothing crazy. But they did a great job not damaging the powdercoating. I know mistakes happen, all that matters to me is how they are corrected. And, i pulled my codes this weekend, and its my hpfp. long cranks, misfires, down on power, everything. Hopefully i can get it repaired under warranty without taking off too many of my mods. I just dont want the dreaded dme update that everyone else is getting. |

I always went there instead of the K-town dealer. The Landshtul guys treat you alot better than the Jackrod that works parts in teh K-town dealer.

Nice, build! Looks to be a lot of suspension work that you are doing to the car. I'm pretty sure it will be a blast on the track. How do you like the SSK and BMS WW? Thinking about ordering this before shipping my car.
