It took this guy over 2 years and now he wants to sell his hodge podge for almost 100K, so who is stepping up to bail him out? :rofl:

I wonder how he got an 11.02 1/4 mile, when Charles (The guy with the turbo 532i that has over 600HP) only got low 12's when tested by european car? Slicks? Sub-zero Chicago weather? This guy's car is almost as fast as JSP's!

Isn't this the same guy who got into it with Steppan on IRC once upon a time way back when? Scott something or other? They were arguing over Step's blown up engine and how he handled it, blah, blah, blah.

...he wants to sell his hodge podge for almost 100K...
Where does it say he wants to sell it for nearly $100k? He only lists a "replacement value" from what I can see.

You have too good of a memory, ever consider another line of work :D
His name is Scott D something, he got into with Step many times. It turns out Scott has rebuilt that car more then once, in fact like 4 times total. He hit a tire in the road at high speeds and blew his gas tank, he blew his motor at least once, thus the rebuild and he got thrown out of Knauz for starting trouble with the service guys after he tried to scam some warranty claims on them. All in all, run away from this car. Too bad IL doesn't require body shops to report to the INS compaines. His car is worth somewhere between 15 and 19K.

He lists the rims as BBS RK, but the ones in the pictures are BBS RC... :confused:

"C" and "K" are kinda close to each other on the keyboard, no?

HA, made ya look! :)

Well, at least they are accessed by the same finger...on different hands! :eeps:

Phil, go to the bottom of the "complete upgrade listing" page...

My favorite line:

"Project 540i - 2 Fast / 2 Civilized"

Rule of thumb: You don't just add up what you bought the car for and add up the receipts from what you've spent... lol

What bugs me about the whole thing is apart from the head job, and the headers its basically an all out Dinan S/C 540 like Jimmy has. How does someone, and maybe I'm wrong, but how does smeone get an additional 100hp from just a port/polish head and headers?

Dinan got 70HP out of the M5 with just about the same thing.
