Did a little bit of work over winter break:
new odometer gears
lubed driveshaft
tore down my spare ix block
disassembled some spare parts
LOL one h&r one stock spring
m20 tear down
Got the upgraded driveshaft all ready for welding
I've owned my ix for almost a year now and my parts hoarding level is already over 9000!. Did a little inventory and I have about 1.5 complete ix drivetrains and only have $300 invested
I kinda want to buy a beat ix and do some rallying!
Went to my friends bachelor party and my ix and I both woke up lost in the woods with matching faces
Also did some interior decorating when I got back to school
...someone buy this e28 seat it keeps falling over 
That is all

das blazer 258k original drivetrain drift machine

Yeah I guess it's always nice to have a spare part, and for the price I can't really go wrong.

On Friday I'm going to pick up an entire ix drive train minus the engine on my way back to MN. Still have no idea where I'm going to put it or if it will all fit in my blazer which happens to have an ix block and engine hoist in the back. This is just silly.

Maybe over Christmas break, back in Minnesota. Better road less traffic than downtown Milwaukee lol.

Lol not me, this is somewhere in Finland I believe. I wish I knew of a road like this lol.

Pretty sure I saw the Kaiser today bumming past MSOE, was on my bike couldn't get a pic

Yeah this increases it to 50mm. On the down side you have to drop the transfer case to put it in, but then just grease it with the zerk fitting.

Thanks guys,
I'm a senior ME, on the SAE Aero team for senior design.
This is my first e30/bmw/car that is actually mine. Spent about 3 years looking for a nice unmolested non rust bucket. Ended up buying it from a guy in Lansing, MI. I've put probably around 3,000 miles on it and have had a single problem. Can't explain how much fun this car is to drive.
Here is a crappy panoramic pic of the interior:
So far I've just been doing maintenance, grease front drive shaft splines, timing belt etc. I'm going to take it back home for the winter and fix the hole in my exhaust hopefully repair some rust.
My plans for after I'm done with school and actually have money are to a stroker build and overall restoration.
I was able to buy basically the front of an ix for $100 off craigslist. Included the block, oil pan, front diff, sub frame, steering rack, new control arms, cv shafts, power steering pump, ac compressor and more. Kinda crazy lol. Everything supposedly came out of a 120k ix and judging by the original cross hashing I'd say it was pretty well taken care of. Still kinda debating whether to use my original engine for the stroker build or this one...
I also bought a drive shaft spline upgrade from a guy in Finland off r3v. It increases the spline touching area length from 18mm to 50mm. This is kinda the first weak point in the ix drivetrain when it comes to an increase in power.

Hello, I'm from Rochester, MN but I go to school in Milwaukee at MSOE. Picked up my ix about 6 months ago and its kinda taken over my life, but in a good way lol
Here are some pics enjoy:

Yeah it's the oil intermediate shaft bearing. I don't understand how it happened the engine has 120k on it and everything else is fine, the second bearing behind it is perfect. I'm thinking the oil passage must have been blocked somehow? There was really no sludge build up or any other signs of excessive wear. I guess on the plus side I can now safely hot tank the block while its out.
The odometer gears were a breeze, the hardest part of the project was getting the instrument cluster out/in before frostbite sets in lol no heated garage
