Im Ron Burgandy, and this is whats happening in your world tonight. What's up guys! Im Quinton, and I've finally decided to join. I've been lurking in the shadows for a while now and I've finally decided to step towards the light. Hailing from the Motor City itself, I left the city with my dad when my parents split up towards the end of middle school. We moved to a suburb outside of St. Louis where unfortunately, I was sucked into the Honda scene during high school. Graduated '09, blah blah. Too personal? I thought so too. On to some more interesting stuff I suppose...
I had a 89 Civic, SOHC nonvtec, tore it apart and stuck a 14b (1g DSM turbo) on it. Sold it eventually. Bought a riced out 90 SI hatch from Illinois. Went all motor B18. Nothing too crazy here. Beat up on all the SS/SC Cobalt kids, got bored, sold it. Joined the Air Force. Bought a '98 CBR 600. Sprocketed, exhaust. Traded it in for my '09 R6 as a 21st birthday present to myself last year.
And here I stand. Driving my 1984 BMW 318i, I've had it for about a year now. Started with the m42 4 banger. Swapped a m50tu inline 6 out of a 1995 325i sedan. Threw in some 24lb injectors, headers (yes its inline, but it is actually two separate 3-1 headers) and a set of s50 (m3) cams. Got it tuned, made about 210rwhp. Exciting stuff right? No. So on comes the fun. Had a guy on another forum make me a topmount t3 manifold. Picked up a Holset H1C, blow thru MAF, 60lb injectors, TiAL MVR, HKS SSQV, blah blah. Still in the process of getting it all buttoned up right now.
But I can't resist the lure of reliable power. I originally thought to do a fox body 5.0 swap because of how cheap they are, and all the stuff for the swap. But I've always wanted a LS family engine, which brings me here. Any questions? Also, I tend to ramble. My apologies, didn't realize how long this was until I went back to check my spelling. Could this be the most thorough intro ever? Maybe.
