Peattie's Build

[Peattie]

I guess ill start one since everyone else does and give me a place to ***** around pictures lol. this will be a slow build since im a full time college student.

My plan for my ram is to make it a ram runner and since i cant afford the kit from kore im going to piece mine together. everything is based on the ram runner kit but this is just a rough estimate

Mods:
K&N intake
A ton of plasti dip ha

Plans:
King 2.0 coilovers
King 2.5 rear shocks
Kore high angle control arms
3" lift springs for the rear
Fiberwerx's fenders and bed sides (still debating on whether or not i like the bed sides)
Ram runner front bumper (a local guy says he can make it for $400 instead of 800)
17x9 Method Standards
Nitto trail grappler


On to pictures

when i got the truck



plastidipped the wheels




intake installed and dirty engine bay

Very sweet ride dude.

 

[BAILEY1]

Very nice!!!

 

[Peattie]

thanks guys. the only thing that sucks is we have no space in the garage so i have to buy everything at once.

everything will be roughly $7000. not including labor. but im sure i can shop around for better deals. right now im talking with a few off road shops in town to get an estimate on labor. im getting excited for this ha

Not sure if anyone cares lol but this is what took the ram runner funds. PO plastidipped the car and i havent gotten it all off thats why it looks ugly.

85 325i. They are neat little cars. But a turbo one would be sick! Nice builds man.

 

[Peattie]

haha. Its a 1985 BMW 327i turbo. My friend has one (thats the reason I bought mine) and he has 430hp and it only weighs 2000lbs. We've been on the highway and he can still get wheel spin doing 70. I'm pretty much doing the same setup as him.

edit: heres a video of his bmw

Been awhile since I've updated this lol But I spent some time in reno, got my BMW 85% completed, went riding and cracked my crank case cover, and hit 21,000 miles

It rained off and on for 3 days so I thought Id do a little off roading, except the dirt washed off on the streets




Here's my BMW. Spent a lot of time driving it and man is it fun




And one at a little car show with my friend



And today I packed the truck up to go to duck creek, Utah with friends to ride bikes and go camping. Should be fun

Very cool, the 327i are a lot of fun had a buddy who had one they are awesome. Now time to throw the money into the truck.

 

[shawnb1043]

[Peattie]

Had a blast in utah over the weekend. It rained and hailed which sucked while riding but left awesome mud puddles.





the truck is a lot dirtier in person, Doesnt look dirty in pictures lol

Its a fun little car, quick as hell. Now that my car is pretty much done I'm going to put more money into the truck. Still havent decided if I want to do the ram runner build or just get a 6" lift.

Next thing I do to the truck is upgrade the stereo and get a sub.
