Uh, at, at, at what point did you sort of decide to your- yourself you're gonna build a, a 1,000 horsepower street car?

Gus EricksonGUEST
So circling back to my two best friends at the time, Jacob and Alex, Alex had this mint 325i with, uh, 60,000 miles on it.

Gus EricksonGUEST
And, you know, obviously he's like, uh, me, and he saw all these turbo E36s growing up, and he's like, "Hey, I want one of those too." So a part out became available, and it was a built S52, 6262 Precision turbo, uh, old Tech 3R standalone ECU, and just everything to turbo E36 with an engine, clutch, everything.

Gus EricksonGUEST
He didn't, he was working at a dealership at the time, but he had squirreled his money away and had saved up enough that he could buy it.

Gus EricksonGUEST
So he buys it, and we're like, "Where are we gonna do this big project at?" Well, I was living in a house with three other guys.

At what point do you sort of try fixing the problem instead of just throwing another block at it and hoping it'll be different this time round?
