It runs!

[hugh jass]

After 2 years, 2 motors, and lots of money, my obd1 s52 325is finally runs! i drove it home from the shop that did the exhaust last night and holeeee shit is it fast. tons of power at any rpm and it sounds amazing. it is stock except for the a dinan chip and the intake and exhaust. i've got a laundry list of things to finish everything up but the major stuff is done. here is a summary of what was done

99 s52 with 39k on it converted to obd1
getrag 250 tranny with stock 325is driveshaft
3.25 lsd rear end
5 lug suspension with ireland engineering swaybars
uuc flywheel with m5 clutch

i'll take some pictures once the car is put back together and i've washed and waxed it. i'm stoked!
