Any car guys in here? Introducting: Project Inka

[Guest Linoge]

Fair enough. Like I said, she came out of the experience looking much, much the better. And I certainly understand the sentimental aspect of it... but I still need to get into the gun business .

Little known fact, but Joe's primary source of income is male prostitution.

i dont see the point in a cage for a street car.

also 350rwhp and approx. 3,000 lbs. doesnt that put it at about mid-low 12s in the 1/4 mile with traction? a cage isnt needed until you hit an 11.9xx et

You dont build BMWs (or any other high performance sports car with 50/50 weight ratio) to run a straight 1/4 mile line

You DO build these cars for BMWCC DE and other track related events.

Slap a big UT on the side of that and come up for a Saturday in the Fall.

Looks great!

Did you leave any pictures out?

[Guest JHatmaker]

Looks great man! I miss my E36 M3 so much. I'm a BMW guy but in general love all the German offerings. Good job on all the pictures.

I'm sure you already know this, but you should check into Active Autowerkes for your FI, they make great kits. Also, HP Freaks make some insane numbers as well....

Once again great job and good luck. Hopefully in a few years I'll be able to into another M3.

Excellent Job documenting the transition of this vehicle. Although I am a alum of UTK and former football player was never a big fan of orange cars. That being said, this is an absolute beauty!!!

Good to see another Roundel guy here.

Im well aware of AA.

I have been into high performance German hardware since '89 and there is nothing better than taking a well balanced piece of engineering and throwing another 150bhp on it

Here are a few pictures from this afternoon;

Quick update: 19 March 2009

I got Project: Inka home today where I will finish the fine details of this build.

I have all the needed parts/pieces ordered, so it will just be a matter of time before she is 100%

I need a bigger garage....(M5, M3, and some Italian thing have to fight for space)

Looks like the gun business is good. I guess it's time to trade the CDL for an FFL.

Very nice stable of whips you've got there.

Meh. There's no money in guns....

I had more toys before opening the shop + I have another job that allows me to put almost everything back into HG.

[Guest JHatmaker]

For real!

Love the M5

[Guest 45AUTO]

I dont currently have a dedicated DE car.

The M5 is Kelly's daily driver.

The M3 is her weekend toy

The M Roadster is destined for light track/DE use

What does Kenan drive?

If he is involved with the BMWCCA then I am sure we have been on club drives together.

[Guest 45AUTO]

[Guest jwp]

How much did that paint job cost?

[BimmerFreak]

Just the paint job? or the entire rebuild?

I have maybe 4k into the paint and prep.

[Guest JHatmaker]

What I really miss, is driving over to Deals Gap. Man that's just so much fun. I know the bike guys love that place even more.

Great collection Joe, I'm very jealous....

[VERO1]

Slap a couple "Gator Blue" stripes on her and you'll have yourself a fine ride there !
