I still need to add a muffler, but I think I've got this thing sorted out for the most part. And, it's quick! Still have the stock 4.10lsd in which will eventually have to go, but it's going to be fun for a little while. I'm getting some serious squat with the 1st to 2nd shift. It just rips through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc... I'm trying to be easy on it since it's a freash rebuild, but it's hard. I'm pretty sure if I even try to go full throttle in 1st without pointing straight this thing it going to loop around. What a hoot!
Here's a few details:
1988 e30 m3
rebuilt s50 - new rings, bearings, valve grind, etc...
95 e36 m3 transmission
e30 m3 stock driveshaft
e30 325i single mass flywheel - shaved & lightened to clear the motor
e30 325i pressure plate and clutch
e30 325i starter
e30 325ix break booster mounted directly to firewall
e28 m5 master cylinder (had to reflare one breakline)
e36 325i radiator - sits low in the e30 m3, crafted some upper mounts to fill in the gap - trimmed down e36 radiator hoses to make a better fit
s52 headers to an s50 cat section
rear muffler is going to be my old e30 m3 Borla (temporarily)
