HUGE thanks to Fenix Radiators for supplying the cooling for the 13b turbo 🙏🏻. Next up, turbo manifold and turbo install 😈

[@greenie_the_detailer2499]

Dude how fricken cool are their products wow amazing

[@UKBUILT]

Nice 😍

Lameborghini

[@woodsy2324]

Can't wait to see the BEEMBORGHINI drifting. Scamborghini sux for the name in my eyes

[@jeremychurch590]

13beemborghini

[@itsmikelake]

I’m sure we’ll settle on a name soon enough 🤔

[@nogaragegarage7439]

Lamborsteini E36

[@streetmetl1]

Every mount needs flat plate gussets. That tube is going to rotate flex, crack the welds. I was a race car chassis builder for many years.

[@itsmikelake]

Thanks for the advice!

[@davidgiurfo8274]

Maybe when your done you should just give it a shot at engineering and if it doesn’t pass oh well but if it does that would be a sick street/drift car

[@itsmikelake]

I’m considering making it street legal 👀 very difficult though

[@DjJerryofficialChannel1]

Bro I have done this exact build before back in 2011. I can share pictures with you, The hard part was putting in the door latch , windows, scissors door, and the headlights and brake lights, because I put sequential brake lights on from a mustang, looks pretty sweet.for door latch I used a Mercedes door latch, and the front windshield from a Toyota fits perfectly.I also had put in a full roll cage.So happy to see this being done on a BMW e36 platform, But mine was stolen around 2018, they broke into my garage and towed my whole project car away. I spent all my money and. 5 years on and off building this with my dad , when it was stolen I really wanted to cry so bad.So glad to see this build again! Thanks for sharing! I got pictures if you want

[@DjJerryofficialChannel1]

Ps. Oh yes I also had air suspension on mine, so when I dropped it was SO crazy low.

[@drunklando]

Post photos please

[@itsmikelake]

Would LOVE to see photos of this! Email them to me? [e-mail]

[@Spotto_aus]

KEEN TO SEE IT

[@itsmikelake]

You mean keen to DRIVE it 😜🤝🏻

[@Spotto_aus]

oh no...

[@RobRichards584]

Still a bit gobsmacked this is working out so easily for all of us, no worries at all, as for you ya poor bugger......phew!

[@itsmikelake]

Haha it’s a lot of effort but also I’m so happy that it’s actually working 😅

[@poliblank]

Japanese engin German chassis Italian body? seems like the boys are trying to get back together lol

[@itsmikelake]

Haha doing our best to get the squad back together 🤣

[@r0bb3rse]

Would be cool if the oilcoolers was mounted where the headlights are.

[@itsmikelake]

They’ll be mounted just below the headlights 😁

[@r0bb3rse]

@@itsmikelake awesome! Looking forward to the next episode.

[@megashark9108]

Pop up oil coolers

[@Maxst33le]

There's so much space in the rear and also oil also functions as coolant on rotaries. If they run a decent size cooler or 2 in the rear they'd have a larger oil capacity, and with how long the lines run front to back much more cooling

[@Maxst33le]

​@@itsmikelakealso good idea

[@lowguidoschopshop]

watching you drill 10mm plate with a hand drill hurt my soul.

[@itsmikelake]

I need a drill press so bad 😅🥲

[@UKBUILT]

Gota do what you can with what you have 👍 I had the opposite problem: My coardless drill burnt so I used my bench drill in portable mode 😂

[@gateaccess818]

@11:10, youre gonna have to make a lower air guide/ diffuer that leaves an air gap between the bumper and the lip so air can ride ontop of the diffuer, under the bottom edge of bumper then up and through the intercooler. same way corvete feeds there radiators. "bottom feeders"

[@itsmikelake]

Not a bad idea! I saw Jimmy Oakes running a fan on his intercooler so that's an option also 😁

[@13illyxmaze]

You should do a air ram through the front of the bonnet for the intercooler instead of cutting the bumper

[@itsmikelake]

We definitely won’t cut the bumper. I’d rather run a fan on the intercooler before cutting the body!

[@13illyxmaze]

@@itsmikelake not that I’m opposed to the body being modified. Keep up the good work man, the build is inspiring! So excited to see it sideways!

[@Xristxy_MM2]

Yayayayyayaya let’s go. We finally got another video. I respect the the work

[@itsmikelake]

Thanks homie! I’ve already shot the next vid & it’s a fricken BANGER

[@traehodges3796]

My question is what's the plan for windows plexie glass or actual glass

[@itsmikelake]

99% plastic as glass is impossible to find and insanely expensive 👀

[@traehodges3796]

@@itsmikelake thought you'd go the plastic route abit safer anyhow especially for a drift car that could possibly collide with another while drifting side by side windows would for sure be first things to break

[@benkappaa]

Im telling you again and again but you for sure need tan leather interior, the old supercar style. Love watching the progress btw.

[@Beezenberry]

Can’t wait to see the “Scam-brap-ghini” drifting! Let’s go Mike. 👍

[@kaateruu]

Thanks daddy Mike for another great video

[@itsmikelake]

You’re welcome. Now go to your room 🤣❤️

[@Getsum-ii]

You should put sheel metal with speed holes up infront of the windscreen kind of under the bonnet (kinda of how ford have the plastics around the Wiper arms)

[@tx_321z]

Daves fab skills are next level

[@itsmikelake]

He’s good hey! Lucky I have such good mates

[@BertusBuilds]

Looking good. Love seeing problem solving in action. Does it fit a standard windscreen? Can you pass tech with Lexan?

[@itsmikelake]

It fits a lambo windscreen but theyre 3.5k 🤣. Time will tell about the passing tech 👀

[@novoiperkele]

Ramborghini E36..

[@streetlegalbuilds7644]

It’s a bmw though?

[@disfordrift9593]

300zx z32 headlights will fit

[@alman6581]

MIKE - do me one big solid. Those engine mounts on the frame rail........ can you pleeeease gusset them to higher on the side of the frame. Just hate single sheet (no matter how thick) for mounts, when you could triangulate on the side to higher on the rail, and still get into the mount nut. Just saying..................

[@itsmikelake]

It’ll all get reinforced when we remove the shell and do final chassis prep! Don’t stress haha 👌🏻

[@nerdg2]

Damn, Dave's design is perfect. I'm learning allot along the way. Wishing you guys all the best

[@itsmikelake]

Dave is a fricken champ hey! Love his work. Thank you bro

[@oOTevtronOo]

I wouldn't trust the swaybar mounts to hold the motor. They're just spot welded onto the rails and should be reinforced in my opinion. But I guess we'll see

[@itsmikelake]

We’ll 100% be reinforcing when we remove the shell and spot weld the whole chassis etc 🤝🏻

[@spencerguthrie8750]

Hey mike lane, this is the first I've discovered of your channel from the first scamborghini episode, but this is really fantastic stuff, can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@itsmikelake]

Hey bro, thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you're enjoying the series

[@Cringe_asmemes]

Thinking of a colour for the car yet?

[@itsmikelake]

I’ve chosen it 😜 it’s a genuine lambo colour

[@Dutch_Crown]

Progress is crazy on this thing! So have you got a plan on how to make the firewall and dash situation? Really keen on seeing that:)

Finally back to Sunday night scheduling, where you belong!

[@itsmikelake]

Doing my best to keep it up! But also doing my best to keep heaps off actual substance in the videos 😁

[@harper6089]

Need to gusset/brace the engine mounts - round pipe with zero bracing doesn't seem like it's going to end well.

[@itsmikelake]

These mounts should more than do the job for this motor and the power it will make

[@deepvoicebanton1]

Hey mate you dropped just like Curry with too much pepper😅 in the middle of the night but this morning is hard for a lot of people in the Caribbean so thanks for doing what you do

[@HashiriyaSquadron]

@itsmikelake Fair play. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I had a Diablo shell on a custom frame with a Rover V8 in the back. Didn't work out though, couldn't source the parts. So I'm excited to see the fab work and final product on yours. 👍

[@lun4rkid]

If that gear box mount has 2 more it will be more secure

[@itsmikelake]

This mount is pretty darn beefy! The rotary won’t make a huge amount of torque so should be okay

[@raduorban]

Please pleaseeee reinforce those sway bar mounts. They are a known weak point on the e36 chasis 😇😇

Absolutely. We’ll do that when we pull the shell and do all the welding before paint 🤝🏻
