HipMF Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 The front of the e34 is mostly held together with bailing wire after tying the core support to a tree and putting the car in reverse to straighten it back out. I think you're being too picky. Jdesign, Rekpoint, Earl and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I got three fasteners away from dropping the rear subframe today. I ran out of time so it will be out tomorrow. These look brand new right? Hahaha And this stuff was waiting for me when I got home=) m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two pieces that go together to brace the arms and make it an A shape need just a hair of filing so that they slide together nice. I'm sure I could probably take a BFH and get the together as it is though. I'll take pics tomorrow of how they fit up to the trailing arms. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Do a burnout. Also, I have a moderately over-built subframe bushing puller if you're in the mood for a little mission creep. I can also provide pointers on RTAB removal if you feel your trailing arms aren't sufficiently bent. GunMetalGrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see your slide this car like you did with the drift trike haha I definitely will haha. The cool thing is after selling bits off of this car, and totaling the Del Sol, I have zero money into the chassis. That means I can total it into a wall and only be upset that I hurt the MHW's lol. I am really excited to have to learn car control without having excess power to use as a crutch. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 The car is registered, insured, and roadworthy. I drove it to work today with zero issues. Pictures will come from this weekend.

I need to get adjustable end links so I can connect the front swaybar too, since it seems the ones from BC are even too short to use at the height they set the coils at when shipping😐 The exhaust is stupid loud (muffler delete with a cherry bomb to eliminate a little buzz) and it really resonates inside of the cabin with the sound deadening removed. Not to mention I don't have the radio code and also don't have the 5 sided tool to remove the radio and give the serial number to the dealer=( For some reason they don't have it logged under the VIN number...
