I bought an old 940 SE for 100€ and gave it away the same day.

I installed the bigger radiator - the oil cooler now has to move again.

I only bought it because of the M46 in there. I'm going to swap it in place of my M47. It was just too cheap to say no... (Still hoping for that M90)

MadDog_945 · 08-05-2018, 04:55 PM

you should have waited a bit.. you can buy all you need for a m90 swap from me, if you want

Brotkasten · 08-20-2018, 12:34 PM

I painted the rims silver this weekend. Used a wire brush set and got to work until I was left with a metal surface. It took about 2 hours for one wheel.

MadDog_945 · 08-20-2018, 04:46 PM

you should have painted the centers gold ;)

i think it will look much better when you lower the front 15-20mm more and add some negative camber! long ricy wheelnuts also will look nice on it

really nice how it stands there

Brotkasten · 09-10-2018, 01:36 AM

This weekend I cleaned out the engine bay a bit by cleaning and spraypainting some crusty lookings parts...

Apart from the intake manifold and timing gear it looks nice and clean now I think

Also installed this for safety... and looks:

I also got this nice retro looking MOMO wheel (I really should take a picture at daylight

)

Hopefully I can get the new transmision in soon.

MadDog_945 · 09-10-2018, 02:46 AM

Yeah.. because now it looks gooey and moldy ;)

Still needs more camber and spacers ! Nice Car!

ITS REALLY NOT

And the camber mod is on the agenda.

Brotkasten · 09-12-2018, 04:52 AM

I had to try this...

I will have this block off plate made (will release the .DXF if requested):

Mbeas96 · 09-12-2018, 09:42 PM

Should be okay because of the AMM on the cold side, yeah? Very clean engine bay, props to that!

I cant tell any difference from the too locations. Might need a bit of cleaning after a few miles... I've got a few spares flying around.

I used the oem intake hose and attached the idle hose to the pcv intake. It's a tight fit but it works.

Thank you! Lets see how much oil the BOV is gonna spit all over it!

Brotkasten · 09-21-2018, 06:10 AM

My Turbo is shot and started to smoke often especially on summer days. I checked the play and verified my guess.

While waiting for my new chra assemlby I created this CAD model (pictures show progess):

Not meant to be accurate or realistic... It's just what I like to do for fun

Brotkasten · 10-18-2018, 05:15 AM

I replaced the turbo chra last week:

And did some other minor things:

- Because of the battery location I'm now running a Honda Civic air box (Ek4 I believe). The connections are 3". Ill have to get some hose for cold air.
- Installed a new under engine tray
- Replaced the cam shaft seal
- Fabricated my own strut brace
- Replaced the main fuel pump and filter (I had some weird ticking sound - it's gone now)

JCol91 · 10-18-2018, 09:42 AM

Looking good! I’m following you on IG and the process is well covered, subscribed for inspo. Also hoping to download that scan CAD model to start playing around with. You still running with the 25mm spacers on back?

Yes. The wheels have 47mm offset. So spacers are a must have!

Cheers!

I got myself a new BOV.

I also wrote this guide small guide on +T with some information i gathered.

Next week is going to be good: I can finally install the gearbox and clutch!

Brotkasten · 11-07-2018, 03:16 AM

This weekend I installed my M46 along with a new clutch.

I had a small problem which you can read about here.

You can really see someone jacked the wagon up wrong in the past. The lower sill flange is mangled up at all four jacking points. (needs some attention ASAP)

The old M47 was quite leaky

I also painted my valve cover in wheels matching silver:

Brotkasten · 11-28-2018, 03:58 AM

I scored some nice leather seats this weekend. I paid half of whats usual in Germany.

Now I will have to do the headliner.

soclosenotnear · 11-28-2018, 12:24 PM

Any ill effects from not having a timing cover? I've been thinking about not reinstalling mine when I put it back together, but am more worried about the belt walking off more than anything. I realize this shouldn't happen, but seems like it could.

I removed it about 15.000km ago. I have not noticed anything worrying yet.

Brotkasten · 11-29-2018, 03:14 AM

My new rims:

17x7.5, 45mm offset, 25mm spacers

225/45/R17 tires
