92 535i turbo build

Arrogant asshole, sure but never greedy.

I just chuckled out loud.

Sure Todd, that's gotta be it. Couldn't be that I prefer a more creative approach, not overpay for something mediocre that's already been put together for me. I'm sure that you will appreciate the irony that my mediocre setup will cost about the same as yours in the end not counting the blood, sweat, and tears it cost me. I'm in it for the satisfaction of having done it, I bet you were too once upon a time.

Seriously dude, I really don't want to do this. I just want to build my build, document it for myself and others, and get some help along the way from people that know how to do it, people like you. I will have to buy a lot more stuff before I'm finished with this infernal machine and I like to support those who support the community. I'm not feeling very supported in this thread and it bums me out, can we just stop this before it gets nasty?

Can we just stop this before it gets nasty?

Isn't it too late for that? You called me "greedy as fuck" and labeled my products "flawed". I only called you "cheap" or "poor". Good luck with your build.

[VegasMark]

Oh, it could get worse. I'll take than and I'll take that post down if it's any consolation. Thank s.

[VegasMark]

Alrighty, just took a ton of pics, but I've never actually posted a picture to forum before. If some kind soul could hotlink the directions for that, I will get them up tonight and be forever in your debt.

[VegasMark]

Families been sick, havent got much done, but the head is off, deck looks nice and smooth. the pistons where so coated with carbon, like 2mm of it, im surprised it ran. everything is cleaning up nicely. Cleaning up the whole engine bay while its empty. Finding alot of broken/cracked this and that, ordering alot of small parts, probably gonna rebuild the heater valves while im at . Ill try to get some pictures up soon. Anyone know anywhere that sells all the coolant hoses as a kit in rubber? That stuff has become surprisinly difficult to find.
