Parking like a true BMW owner.

New wheels are on. I could not possibly be any happier with how they look. Fitment is really good with 12mm spacers all around. I think I am going to drop to a 10mm just for peace of mind but right now I can get a full lock on the wheel again with no rub and driving over normal bumps so far is no problem. 

Nice work!

AHHHHH ITS WORKING

Picked up the caliper. Thought about painting them all, then decided not to because I am a lame person and just want to drive this stupid thing. If/when they start to rust and look shitty I will remove them, think about painting, then probably just upgrade the brakes anyways.
The caliper still leaked out of the threads where the line gets attached, hooray. Found that out while bleeding. Removed the line from the caliper, cleaned crap as best as I could, reinserted and tightened it back up, no leaks during bleeding process or when brakes were being stomped to check for hissing/crap like that.
My buddy came over, we had some beers. Then decided to finish the car. It's 4:31AM and I'm tired but it's back on all fours

Still need to get the endlinks on and mess with front ride height/preload. The rears are basically where I want them, they will settle a tad yet. The front is a touch high yet. Still haven't touched the camber plates either.
Goodnight/good morning (?)

88 E30?


More like 88 MPH

Maksinjectiom was quite a bit better before it switched hands/ownership

Picking up a caliper after work today. Then gonna go home, remove all my calipers and put some paint on them. No reason to not do this right the first time.

It is indeed a real evo3

Those would be killer! These are what I have waiting to go on. Rota Grid V in 15x9 et-15

Man it felt good driving this thing to the e30 picnic this past weekend. Everything went so smoothly with it, I can't be any happier. Never thought the first real drive would go so well, lol. 

crossposting from my thread in volvo-la-la-land. apologies if anything doesn't make sense. 
 
I've been trying to keep good forward momentum with this project. It seems like I've gotten a lot done recently, but these pictures make it seem otherwise somehow...
I got a proper Tilton throwout bearing--so far it seems really nice. I need to drill and tap mounting holes for this and then space it out to the right position (~.75" of spacer if I recall correctly, but I need to triple check the measurements)



Today, a fuel rail came together, thanks to heavy intervention from a couple friends. I wanted a bolt-on fuel rail without too much internal restriction, and provisions for a 6AN feed fitting on the firewall end, a 1/8" NPT bung for a pressure transducer on the other end, and a FPR mounted on the rail between runners 1 and 2... 
This is what we ended up with:

It's an S70 rail that has less internal restriction than the 850 rail, which we milled to accept the 850 FPR, and countersunk to fit beneath the factory injector retainer. We drilled out the original brass end cap and then milled an aluminum 1/8" NPT bung that was then welded in. My friend also welded a 6AN male bung to the firewall end of the rail. Additionally, I decided to take advantage of the extra port in the manifold (what was intended for the factory feed line) to also install a pulse dampener... if that actually does anything. A lot of fiddling, but I'm very pleased with it. 


Let's see... what else. Cams and valve cover are installed, and the engine is timed. Zach powdercoated a bunch of stuff for me and it came out fantastic (which is now all dusty in the pictures). Wiring has also started. 

I also have a great little bulkhead connector for the engine wiring at the firewall. I'm currently using 47 of 55 pins. A large chunk of megasquirt wiring inside the car is in progress. 

I did buy a new stainless heater hose connector plate dingus that will get rid of that rusty eyesore... 
Engine mounts brackets are in with new Yoshifab HD rubber engine mounts. As it turns out, these mounts are shorter than factory 240 mounts, so I had to compensate by adding spacers to get them to the 50mm total height I need. My friend milled these spacers as well. 
In the process of getting the engine to fit, I had to pull it out a couple times to clearance the webbing on the oil pan until it was pretty flush with the oil transfer tube pocket. 



Next step? I really need to buy my turbo. Also, throttle body linkage needs to get sorted out. 
 
and then everything else.

I've never seen a bass guitar With live wells, so makes sense that your question was confusing. Carry on!

Here we see a wild Bassboy in its natural habitat: 

I took my tanks to get cleaned and lined to a radiator shop in Butler. They did a great job with fast turn around. Just a thought.

My brother and I picked it up off of craigslist in West Bend. It's a 79 320i sepia brown over tan vinyl interior. We don't have many plans for it other than to fix a few things, almost certainly lower it, and just enjoy driving it. Driving this thing is the hardest I've laughed in a while--it's just so enjoyable and care-free. A huge contrast to my 242. 
Now accepting donations!

Stopped by the body shop today. The car was in the spray booth after getting the broken trunk latch mounting points welded, prepped and painted.
Front bumper is almost ready for paint.

Unfortunately I will be gone for work but I will have my brothers Ben and Matt bring the clothing orders for Milwaukee pickup to the meet for those to grab. 

Will try to show up in a e21. At least it's the right make. 

Best pre flight activity ever.  I visited the LeMay car museum in Tacoma before heading to the airport and the happened to have a BMW exhibit going on!

Driving the beast for the first time since engine swap up and down the driveway =

It needs a lot of tuning (paging Mr Brian. Mr Brian. You have a telephone call). New clutch feels great, brakes are good, shifting is nice.
