Man this is an epic build

I wasn't a wagon fan but seeing how stunning this is turning out... I'm having second thoughts and seriously thinking about this! :)

Some good stuff has happened since this thread was updated, most mods have their own thread but I will update this in the near future.

In the meantime here is a couple pics, because everyone loves pics.

Great pics and mods, Evan.

Awesome car and awesome choice of mods!

:notworthy:

I keep neglecting this thread I will start to slowly add updates, I have created some other threads on the individual mods so I will to try save the details as they can be sourced elsewhere.

I probably missed some things but this should do for now, of course more to come:

- LED Interior Lights
- Custom Pedals
- RB Turbos
- 19x11 Rear wheels
- Sport steering wheel
- 6spd Manual Swap!!!!

While installing my charge pipe, I dropped a screw in the intake tube, DON'T DO THAT, getting to the front turbo is not cake-walk. I had some help from Pliney making sure it doesn't happen again....

I really LOVE your car and all the things you've done to it!

Thanks Antti, that means alot coming from modding master like yourself.

Love the tail lights.

Evan,

Everything is looking great, I will be watching the 6 M/T Swap closely for sure. As for the RB's are you going to be creating new inlets for the turbos? I am not sure if you have been following the recent development with removing all the stock intake piping for larger more efficient plumbing.

In doing some with 335xi the record is 607 AWHP. I know this is somewhat of a glory run but once this is done it frees up so much breathing room as the turbos don't need to work as hard.

I will be install Hexon turbos until they ship me the RR650. I will be developing some kid of inlets that will require a relocation of the coolant reservoir.
