Sia, do you even own a car that is not perfect?

So what is it with the Canadians and their perfect cars?
Let me think, >>>>NO, :laugh:

I am glad that I left a good impression for Canadians! ;)

Thank you for sharing more awesome.
The look on Adam's face, along with Ali and I believe Hunter after they took the car for a test drive on the RTT Tour was, as they say, priceless.

The word posh comes to mind. She is beautiful.

I see the s54 intake manifold is not as space consuming as the m50. Were you able to retain a brake booster?

Yes, the engine’s intake manifold is way bigger then M50s (6 individual throttle body attached to that intake) but it fits right in, and as for brake booster, it is still the original equipments that came with the car, and it works well with the new 6 & 4 piston calipers, instead of replacing and using other brake master cylinders such as Porsche, ...etc… to accommodate for the bigger calipers and rotors. I choose WP Pro brake company that other then what they have as stock for newer cars, they also design and custom make brake caliper to suit and work with what I have as an original equipment on my car, so I didn't need to modify any of that stuff.

Just an update: yesterday at one of our local Euro cars show which Dyno was available at the place, I Dynoed the E28 S54, and the result was impressive, 291 HP and 265 T at the wheel. I should say that I am very pleased with the result :D . The reason that I did that was because Stance Factory mentioned that after the computer (ECU) adaptation, I should gain some more HP and T, so in comparison to the last dyno result I have gained 11HP and 24 T. I will post the result later.
:alright: :banana:

HAHA.. How fast does it need to be?!

I have driven it and it drives as good as it looks. Its an amazing piece of engineering and customization.

I am pretty much sold on the new engine into old car idea.

:laugh: It’s a great suggestion and something to look in to especially Turbo Kit that HPF has for S54 (sweet 620 rw HP) :cool: , but I already own 2 Turbo cars and I kind of wanted to keep this a naturally aspirated application. As KillerPM said, this car is so quick that I honesly don't see any more HP would improve anything, that just to keep thing in perspective and still maintain the car as it looks and handles.
