  1. Hey everyone, I am not a very active member since i have not started my Tsi restoration, however I do have 2 questions. First one: Upon searching a topic or wanting to start a new tread, my account says "You cannot start a new topic" or "You cannot reply to this topic". Why? hmm. Second thing thats a little bit more specific: I am swapping in a 5.7 Hemi into my 88 Tsi and I will be using a Tr6060 6spd manual trans. I know most people have done the LS with the T56 swap but Im a born and bred mopar guy so thats the reason for my route. After the tunnel is cut and enlarged, does the center console fit into its orignal place with factory mounting? Was just a thought thats been puzzling me for a while. Any help/ advice/tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks -Erik
  2. Hey Bud, nice to see another M3 owner on here, although mine is the bodystyle before yours. Really clean Car! I wish you didnt put on the aftermarkets however. I know the OEMs are expensive but a used set would have probably be the best choice. Nonetheless, hope they work out for you. As a tip, if you ever need to source BMW parts, shoot me a message. I have a good hookup with parts. Enjoy! -Erik
  3. Hello again everyone. My apologies for the late reply. Just a quick update, I have only purchased the CCWs for the rear as of right now. the two came up to just over $1800 shipped. They are the LM5s, 18x11 et0 with a white center and polished inner and outer barrels. Will post pictures when they come.
  4. Thanks for the welcome everyone! I do not have much pictures of the car since it will probably be started at the beginning of 2014. However, you are all welcome to check out my gallery. I have created a separate album that will be specifically of the resto project. Feel free to let me know what you guys think! Thanks again!
  5. Hey buddy, nice to meet you.Thanks! lol I was looking on there and i got everything I needed however, Im a little confused with the wideblock/narrowblock thing. I just want to know if an Evo 8 engine will bolt to the stock conquest tranny. Any idea on this?
  6. My name is Erik and I am 19yrs old! Living in Clermont Fl! Recently purchased a 88 Conquest TSi and all I can say is WOW! Before I was born, my dad had bought my mom a red conquest tsi. This was probably in the early 90s. However, Im sure you guys all know how small the back seat of our cars are. So upon my arrival that’s when my parents sold the quest. Growing up, I have always been into cars. My dad has been a technician at Chrysler for over 18yrs, so Ive grown up around cars. My dad has always been a huge german car enthusiast. Starting off with an E30 M3 then in 2000 bought a 98 E36 M3 Sedan which he still has to this day. Except with a twin screw and 436whp J When I was 15, my parents surprised me with a car. Could you take a guess what it was? Yup. A 99 E36 M3 sedan. It’s the love of my life. Me and my dad have our own shop where we do side work at. There, we fully built the car from ground up. Naturally aspirated motor producing 303rwhp & 288rwtq. Its goes fast, but handles even better! A track monster to say the least lol Along with my 16yr old sister, my dad and my mother, the four of us have 7 vehicles now. My M, my dads M, My sisters 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited, my moms 2003 Chrysler Town&Country Limited, my daily driver, a 2000 Toyota Corolla, the family beast, a Ram SRT10, and now the Tsi. We are all really big into cars to say the least . The TSi will be undergoing a full resto. Really looking forward to it! Already put in an order for CCWs 18x9 front 18x11 rear! As far as drivetrain goes, I really want to do a hemi 5.7 or 6.1 swap. However my dad disagrees lol currently looking for info for a 4g63 swap (which is what my dad wants) so if anyone can help me with any info, that would be great! I am looking forward to meeting, speaking, and becoming better acquainted with you all! Thanks in advance to all the members of the StarQuest club for all that you guys do! -Erik
