Let us know how the paint holds up. Mine flaked off and the entire thing was completely rusted through and is ready to be scraped.

I'm going to season it Friday night and the first smoke will be Saturday hopefully. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on how the paint holds up.

Waiting on my rebuilt diff and new flywheel/clutch to do the drive-train, and the new LPFP (Dual Walboro 450lph).

Here are a few videos of 6266 singles on similar vehicles. The first two are E90s/E92s (3-series), so my E82 (1-series) will be about 350lbs lighter, and be running more boost with the bigger turbo (6466). The third video is an E82 right at 800WHP. The first two are heavier, as stated, and all three are running 750-800WHP. I'm shooting for right at 1000WHP.

Watching with sound is a must. The audio on the third clip is sooooo pretty.

Both of these were taken a few years ago but they had almost every Dinan part available at that time. They flew.

It's a Dodge Caravan. No one would budge on the price of an Odyssey, even when they were completely trashed. I was looking at 2005-2007 Odysseys and picked up this 2011 Caravan for the same or less than an older, trashed Odyssey. Some issues, but just fine for what I need it for. Also, I made sure to go to 2011, as that is the first year that they fixed all the known issues with this generation of van.

Yeah, that's the down side of Honda & Toyota mini's. As long as it works, good for you.
