E30 325i DSSR (187mm units)

[Bimmer_man]

I posted it everywhere where i can think of that is iX specific. Thanks again for the iX support.

Have you guys gotten a chance to test fit it on an ix?

Not yet. We took dimensions from our local IX guy. He is coming again to test the prototype to make sure no other issues arise.

[stonea]

Once you guys test fit it I'll buy two of them!

[george graves]

Looks great!

What length is needed for the M30 swap?

[dougie30]

any for m6x swaps? 6-5 speed trans?

[rzerob]

What about for 24v ix?

[stonea]

^ That really depends what way you're doing the 24v.

[unloadedak]

This was a given when he bought the car.

Lmao true. He just doesnt know it yet..

hahah

hopefully order one of these this week and keep it stashed.

[Messor]

We can do this. We will need a test car in so cal but we can get them done if there is enough interest.

I'd be in for one for the ix

Why does the right side hole of the near end look threaded? Hmm dunno about that, your distance from hole to edge, or 6061... how do you know if these will last vs. steel, thru holes with pins & clips, and greater hole to edge spacing??

What would Carroll Smith do? I don't trust that design for the racecar vs stock or DSSR competition

[unloadedak]

what about an e46 m3 rod? would love to have one by march when i'm pulling mine apart.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. He mentioned it uses bolts instead of pins, I'd like to see a picture of the bolts being used. There is a reason that stock used pins and clips. One that I can immediately think of is the force being applied to the shift rod. The majority of it is lateral (shifting up and down the gears) and so you will have massive side to side forces against the bolt/pin. With a Pin using a clip on the outside, this I would think is somewhat alleviated by spreading load across the outside face of the rod (around the hole.)

If the bolt is indeed threaded in to the rod itself and not nutted on the outside, the force will be on one side of the threads, and eventually may pull them out of the rod.. Other wise, if it is using a nut on the outside, then it wouldn't be much of a tear out issue.

It's a great looking piece, and for a street car, seems like a decent upgrade, I would just want to see some real world feedback/data before I committed for any of the racecars.

So when does the eta version come out? I'm very interested!
