Its always fun to share out your build journey and I wanted to do the same with my new love, this incredible F87 M2C, as I did on my much loved F32.

I will be updating this thread as I move through the build on this truly incredible machine, so bear with me as it gets updated over time. My F32 build took several years, and while I suspect this one will be faster, it will still be a labor of love over time.

As the build progresses, I will share updates, timing and DIY videos throughout the build! I am also planning on getting a good baseline dyno run here soon (2/20 probably) so I can measure progress moving forward from stock!

I know as of right now, there isn't a lot to show here but it will grow.

[3/22 update]
Caught up all of the build items, plus just chuckling at the original post info.. 'isn't a lot to show here..', well THAT has changed! The build is come along significantly faster than I could have imagined, and is starting to get into final stages places like exotic fueling, port injection or meth really as last pieces. There is also the potential of a suspension change as well, but that is in the future along with (no doubt) much bigger rear tires due to HP increases.

[5/22 update]
TONS of updates coming to address the fueling shortcomings on E85, then subsequent updates to the tune with Cary Jordan. So many things coming I realized my build sheet here was out of date, so getting caught up!

[8/22 update]
MASSIVE fueling upgrades throughout the whole system, end to end. Precision Raceworks stage 3 LPFP, new PR fuel lines leading to Dorch HPFP lift kit AND PR port injection kit with Motiv controller. This includes new EU5 injectors to top it off, with a fresh set of plugs just to make sure. Fundamental changes along with a new 2 map setup from Cary Jordan, that will be dialed in soon, with Map1 flex fuel daily driving and map 2, the full E85 PI 'send it' map. All this is is documented and will be new videos over the next weeks/months, but man its been a crazy month!
