Originality is dead

This is where I left off my last thread...

Bought this

Took this out

Cleaned it up, put in ARP studs, and a Cometic .140 headgasket

Buttoned back up

Hacked up an 850R bumper...

Ready to go in

Bolted in

Converted clutch pedal to push and installed Wilwood master

This is how it sits nows. Got the rears on and shortened the trailing arms 1" to center the axle.

Gotta put on the turbo stuff, make intercooler pipes, a downpipe, driveshaft, and brake lines/clutch line. It's already wired and cranks.

The setup is a M52B28 with m50 intake, arp studs, .140 cometic headgasket, cxracing manifold, holset hx35, and a ZF 5 speed. I'm keeping it obd2 and using RKTunes to flash the stock computer. Not too much left to do to get it running.

This car is awesome. I am trying to follow suit on my 242.

Keep up the good work

I love those engines, and wow that passenger side engine mount is simple! Do you have pics of the other side mount? I think about this swap every ~8 days.

Another BMWolvo. Good engine choice :-D

DaveD · Nov 2, 2015

The passenger side mount is pretty much the same thing but a longer tube. I got them from someone that already had them made.

Your neigbors must hate you.......also nice build!

Dear Dave,

I hate you. You are doing cool stuff that people twice your age dream of constantly but have a combination of the following factors preventing them from pulling it off:

1. Money
2. Time
3. Balls
4. Talent

Sincerely envious,

Harlard

You get out of it what you put into it

I've learned a lot about working for things from this car. I work 57 hours/6 days a week and spend my free time working on this. Most everything I've learned is from doing things wrong. Might have to do things twice but at least I learn from it.

That's actually a very intelligent approach to learning.
