Post up pics of your ix

k1's with 8mm spacers 16x7.5. I can't remember the et.

[Kershaw]

lookin good.

[325ix]

i bet it does cause it pushing the front wheel too..

Thatis what causes the slight drop in mileage, not the extra weight.

car is on 16x7.5 kosei k1's at the moment and basically hasn't run for the past year, but it's up and running again so I'll take some new ones after I detail it.

Nice iX. Interesting bumpers. Would this me some sort of m-tech package?

The front is just stock bumper and valence. I think the rear has a racing dynamics valence on it.

It's the ugliest iX in this thread, but it's got solid mechanicals and sure is a heck of a lot of fun. :D Just needs a new clutch. The stock clutch won't handle the boost anymore, but it should last a little while longer as long as I keep it under 4000 RPM.

I would like to challenge that..


Also, I have a few parts from that cars turbo system sitting in my garage.

[WildKarrde]

Where did you find those wheels? Nice....

[Erik j]

Traded a friend for installing a engine.

wild karrde how is the turbo m20? I read through quints turbo thread on e30tech, any input about it? have you changed it at all?

Quint did a great job building the car, it's been a LOT of fun. I've done a ton of minor things to it though. Fixed numerous vacuum leaks, a couple gas leaks, replaced a CV boot, replaced the spark harness, and got some nice 215/65 R14 tires on it. I played around with the Megasquirt settings as well to try to get some better fuel mileage, but found it runs much better a little rich than it does a little lean. I've also replaced the seats with leather Ricaro's from my 325is, replaced the steering wheel with an M-Tech I wheel and moved a few other things from my 325is to the iX.

The brakes really need new front rotors and pads though, and the stock clutch is just about burnt. It won't handle any boost. I'm headed to basic training with the Air Force Reserve in 2 weeks though, so I'm pretty sure it'll last me until then as long as I keep the car under 4000 RPM. I'll be finding a nice Stage I or Stage II clutch for it sometime in November when I get back, and then start playing around with the turbo system a bit. There are a few improvements I would like to make. I'll eventually be rebuilding the engine as well... thinking of boring it out to 2.8L or 3.0L

That touring looks like it eats children, well done.
