RonJohnCo G87 M2 Build Thread

rons e92 · 06-18-2024, 11:29 AM

I figured I should probably start a thread to memorialize my build as I've gone pretty far.

I made a (clickbait) video for YouTube discussing the parts, the costs, and some of the challenges I've experienced thus far in building this car to where it is today.

Enjoy!

Plans for the future? I want to get all the OEM alcantara stuff for the interior. I also need to build the transmission, build the engine, and maybe one day do a KLM single turbo kit. We'll see!

A lot of time and money invested. I don't think there is another M2 like it on Long Island.

Nice vid and build! I saw you when you were recording this lol. That’s me in my Velocity Blue Bronco turning in front of you onto Sheep Pasture @ 23:50. I gave you a wave.

I’m definitely going to do a Femto unlock and tuning on my manual g87 at some point, catted downpipes, intakes, that’s it….need an upgraded clutch and would probably keep it at a conservative 600ish whp.

I’ve gone down the road of major mods and flex fuel with my STi and it’s great but want to keep it simple with the M2
