Slightly Overbuilt E30 2014

[Spectre]

I'm not that familiar with Lenco trans, what is the benefit of your shifter vs. the levers? I assume it's quicker (You wouldn't have to reach up and grab the next lever) but I may be wrong.

This build is awe-inspiring man, Sub'd!!

Thanks brah. There are a hand full out there, just takes money and persistence.

Just read the entire thread, mind blowing. Probably one of the rare e30 to run low 9s...

It does fit with a little body massaging. Trans mount, gas pedal, and assemble the rest!

My driveshaft loop was custom before. I think I might be able to reuse it depending on where I can mount it. We shall see.

It looks way bigger in person.. ;) They are 1350s. I put the e46 m3 rear in my car so the subframe is all hacked up anyway. Should just need a little clearance on the old center support bear mounts. Oddly enough with the length of the trans, I could have used those for the driveshaft loop mount...

It's a tight fit with the 3", the driveshaft loop needed some modding to work.
I know you'll git ir done and make it fit you crazy SOB.

In for track vids....!!!!!!

[BMWSOB]

Yes, It literally looks twice as big in real life.. lol I'd even venture as far to say girthy.

That shaft is almost as big as the headlight... WOW

I also decided against the hood exit. Its just too ugly for me. I had the hood taped and marked for the hole and I just couldn't do it.

I did get the last piece to the puzzle!! Custom 4" Mark Williams 6061- T6 Driveshaft.



Hopefully its strong enough!

Damn 4" is huge. What size U-joints, are they 1410 ? I have a 3" with 1410 on the rear and had to grind down the ends of the yoke and inside the sub-frame to make it fit.


Looks great though, good choice on not putting the exhaust through the hood.

Now THAT is a beefy shaft !

Can't wait to see some videos of this in action !

The pedals and master cylinders were around $450. Plus brake lines and other little misc stuff to install.
