Couldn't remember if I did it or not when we swapped this motor/trans in but it didn't feel sloppy. I've done them in the car before, it isn't too bad.

MattY Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 the calypso has risen. and promptly fallen back down we did this quick test drive last week after fixing a fuel leak (o ring in the fpr was forked), but i took the rear subframe apart to swap in the poly bushings i picked up last year. currently working on getting those swapped in. after that it should just be interior. it seems to be running pretty solid.

B C Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 So for a second there were 2 running/driving M20s in the state. Now its just Mr. Hundley again. Its nice to see progress on the Young BMW fleet nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice to see progress on the Young BMW fleet nonetheless AFAIK my sedan is the only one in the Madison area. I believe there are two coupes downtown but they're relatively stock. I'm of the belief that the calypso should be kept as stock as possible visually, it wasn't meant for the works with is lips and skirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattY Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Didn't have time to update until now! The bushing swap finally happened, and we also ran brand new nickel brake lines while the subframe was dropped (we literally tried EVERY method, and ultimately ended up dropping the whole thing.) Also got the interior back together Friday night for the picnic. Carpet still needs a little cleaning, but I did do some carpet cleaning a while ago and it cleaned up real nice. The first test drive with everything back together ran great! We made it to Waukesha without a hitch. Next on the list is fixing the minor lower coolant hose leak, speedo sensor in the diff, odo gears, obc clock swap (current obc screen is smashed), and looking into the bumper. I have a brand new bumper in green/teal, just gotta see how it mounts up and then i'll look into getting it painted.

Boris3 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hey that old subframe bushing still kind of resembles a bushing. From hearing about the removal at the picnic I was expecting much more destruction. Wish mine would have come out with that much intact material to grab onto. Good to see the progress!

Congrats! there were 5 wibimmers e30s on Saturday. That means we're batting over .500, which in baseball if freakin amazing. But baseball sucks, so, bad analogy. BUT STILL. good job getting the car out there, Matt, and nice to finally meet you. KaiserRolls, patsbimmer1, MattY and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
