My dream iX ^_^ turbo DD to come

[Bimmer_man]

So I was surfing for parts for my e30 and I came across a guy who's selling parts off his ix so I asked what he had. He said he had the valance bumpers what I was really interested in was the blue interior. So I asked him he gave me a price. So I just asked well how much for the car? He answered with $300.00. So I flew to my house got my trailer and grabbed it. I'll post pics in a few.

Well i have been looking the car over for a few days and i want to share what my plans are.

3.0L stroker
Manual transmission swap
KAMotors Turbo

what do you guys think

[ButtJuice]

Damn son.

[TehRaydarlover]

$300?? Not bad haha. There is a guy by me that wants $2k for an ix as just a parts car lol

[Bimmer_man]

Yeah I was beyond astonished that I got this car for what I got it for. All I need are new bearings and the head is brand new only 2000 miles on it brand new water pump. I mean this car was by definition a steal.

pics or it didnt happen

[Bimmer_man]

Alright here are some pics







A bunch of random parts for the car










I need to know if the brake booster on these cars are the same as the rest of the E30s. The PO pulled it and sold it so i need to get another one for this car. Also if you guys can suggest any helpful mods on this car before i get it all put back together any advice is more than welcomed. I do plan on eventually GC coil overs and a UUC BBK. Any way to increase handling other than the obvious GC. Along with having the engine be able to more than handle some power down the road.

Booster is iX specific.

[nando]

E32 booster is the same

[Bimmer_man]

Sweet thank you. I'll pick one of those up ASAP. I'll take a few pics of the block and show everyone what the differences are with these blocks cause I wasn't sure till I looked at it and yeah its a lot different. And since the engine is totally tore down I'm going to look into stroking it to a 2.8l.

5 speed swap?

[Bimmer_man]

I definitely will be doing that but as it sits I need to get it back on the road.

[Bimmer_man]

You can get oem paint pens, if you get the wax off put the then apply some very carefully and then wet sand a bit then polish and wax the entire car it would clean that hood up alot and the overall car.

[Bimmer_man]

Thanks a lot man. I wanted to keep that hood too cause its strait.
