My goodness. Two of my favorite things. A 245 and one of the best NA 6cyl engines ever. Bravo and great work so far.

Thanks

Thought I'd post some more images

Taken care of all the rust on the body, and gave it 3 shots of two component paint

My rear axle trailing arms.. M12, M14 and M20 uniballs.

Two oil coolers for engine and one for power steering.

Electrical power steering pump from Opel Astra G.

3.5" exhaust system, Magnaflow and simons mufflers.

I have also got reply from Suvi Performance, my custom swirl pot is ready and should be shipped. I also have alot of Nuke Performance fuel parts in order so my fuel setup should be ready pretty soon

Paging Jack haha

Did you go with the E36 5spd because you had it on hand already? No reason it shouldn't handle what you throw at it, just curious to why it was chosen. Already shaping up to be awesome.

VolvoR-Sport · Feb 4, 2016

went with the 5-speed because I had it on hand, from the same guy who sold the engine.
it should handle about 800hp they say..

I was thinking of a 530d transmission, but I chose the e36 because the s54 tilts 20 degrees and the 530 transmission tils 30 degrees..

This is epic!! Are you going to drift with it?

spruill242 · Feb 6, 2016

This is beyond awesome.

What are the giant upright tubes in the back?

VolvoR-Sport · Feb 6, 2016

It will mainly be jused for drifting

The giant tubes in the back are holding my rear shocks which are placed directly on the rear Axle

VolvoR-Sport · Feb 27, 2016

I started on the last tubes for my rollcage, but I cut off a little bit to much so I have to buy a new pipe to get it done..

I modified the centerconsole frame, drilled two holes in the tunnel and installed pop nuts.
The inserts where made of 2mm aluminium, I also cut out the original switch holes to makes space if I need alot of switches

I also got a swirl pot from Suvi Performance, made on my measurements and design. Suvi delivers quality! There is also a plate inside the swirl pot, but I couldn't take a picture of it..

The swirl pot should go a little bit more backwards to fit the way I want.. I have the fix all figured out

I have removed my strut bar so a friend of mine can weld it all up, can't wait for it to get done

VolvoR-Sport · Apr 15, 2016

The strut brace is all welded up and ready to mount

GTFOUR · Apr 16, 2016

What a build!! I have an m3e46 and a 245 and i never though about mix them

its going to be awesome.

Did you keep 5x108 bolt pattern or you have gone 5x120?

Waiting for pics of the rear widened process to get some inspiration, im going to put 10"x17" on the back

VolvoR-Sport · Apr 17, 2016

Thanks!

I have the std 5x108 bolt pattern, with 740 extended studs.

Removed the whole stock wheel house and made my own, I did then move my inner end of the housing towards the cars centre.

I hope this helps you, total space in rearwheel housing is 36cm/14 inches

MadDog_945 · Apr 17, 2016

VolvoR-Sport · Apr 17, 2016

Spec: compomotive Mo 5 flat face 8x17" ET11

VolvoR-Sport · Apr 24, 2016

Strutbar all finished up!

Made a fusebox out of the glovebox, it is cut down and fitted a 2mm aluminium plate at the back. also 2mm relay holders.
It holds 4 70a relays and 12 30a relays. will also hold 16 fuses.
I hope it is enough!
