Loginfailed's Stolen Idea Emporium (plus BS)

@ this truck. Incredibly nice. Great work.

Not a sound system person myself, but I appreciate the work and craftsmanship. Well done.

I am interested in your shift kit. Any pics/info of kit/install/issue would be neato. Spent about 2 years working in a trans shop, never saw one Tacoma, one Tundra, once, but no Taco's, ever.

Keep with the Yota' brand bub, get away from that Beemer blech.

 

I picked up the CMC plates that BAMF offers. Not ready to open that can of worms yet though. Been thinking about a new set of wheels lately, and will probably go up in tire size when I change wheels. Not sure if it will be 37s just yet, though.

When I install the streamline bumper and winch, I’ll probably have to upgrade the front suspension to account for the extra weight. Debating wether I should just keep the 5100s and just swap to a 887 coil, or just go for a set of Kings. Wallet says 887s

Thanks. My wife has always wanted an E46 M3 convertible, that would be a fun little project car. Other than that I’ll probably not be getting back into BMWs again.

There’s a ton of info on these valve bodies. The shift kit I used is from RatioTek. The instructions said 2003-2008 but I called RatioTek and he said it should work for a 2014.

 

For sure post some RnR pics and your thoughts on the shift kit once its working right.

 

I’ve already had it out twice. Didn’t really take any pics of the removal process. But here are some pics of the valve body itself, disassembled. I’ll take some more pic next time I pull it out.

 

Apologize for the odd interest. Very cool stuff, to me anyway. Sucks about losing 5th. No fluid pressure? There is a trans guy around here...Gearcruncher or something. He could offer assistance too if ya need it.

 

Yes @gearcruncher is the man. He has helped me out a lot answering my many noob questions.

 

Even with the insain fab CMC it's still rubs, I has to be fully relocated to clear 37s.
And get that m3. I'm hoping to get an e90 m3 before 2018 is over

 

E90 M3 is the last of the good ones in my opinion. I prefer my Bimmers in the non-turbocharged variety.

 

Here’s my 2006 325i. Loved the car. It wasn’t fast but it had tremendous handling. My father-in-law side swiped it backing out of his garage and I wasn’t happy with the body work performed.

 

E90 m3 and this will go together quite nicely..

And yes, I'm not a fan of the newer F year cars

 

Car ownership..

 

I like what you've done so far. Keep it up!

 

@loginfailed do you have any exhaust video clips? i was wondering how ur set up sounded and if its raspy with those 2 resonators.

 

I think I took some vids a while back, but never posted them. I’ll look in my files tonight. If not I’ll try to make some more if it stops raining.

 

Ok awesome thanks.

 

Today I ordered a 26k mile tranny from a salvage yard in New York. They’re shipping it directly to John at IPT so he can do his thing.

Super excited!

How deep is that pit now?

 

At this point, it won’t be much longer and it’ll be as much for mods as the price of the truck.
