Slammin_e28's M60 swap. Annual update.

[The Dark Side of Will]

Just looked at your ZIP... You in Waynesboro? My dad lives in Shenandoah... I'm in NoVA right now, but usually down there on the weekends.

That's not what lambo told me. He said sometimes you even arrive a little early (ahem).

Well, I'm probably over a year late on getting this finished if you follow my original timeline.

Also a few weeks late on sending my secret santa out....so take that as you may.

Lambo is probably trying to keep me exclusive to him by spreading rumors, but he doesn't need to worry....I'm 100% on his team.

I'm terrible at meeting deadlines.....so yeah....we'll see.

Mounts and spacers ordered.

Will begin working on the actual car come Friday if the rain holds off. Doing brakes and shit. This was an auto car, so I've got a bit of swapping to do, but it'll be alrighttttt. Also going to do the whole removable core support dealio.

Just found out that Vintage 2013 and they're running laps at VIR....so deadline will be to have this thing running before then. I'm terrible at meeting deadlines.....so yeah....we'll see.

Bing bang boom!



Now if someone would pm me back about mounts I can get this thing into the car.

[InuFaye]

I was there.

[slammin.e28]

Bam. Forgot I didn't have the damn clutch alignment tool so I just put it on loose so I didn't loose parts. Sucker is light!

Also need to get bolts for the trans as I have none.

FYI, E39 528i pressure plate bolts up too. I've got on in better shape than the 540i one that came with this. Just want to get a new disc and roll.

fuck ya

So, got the FW in. Took a looksy at it:



"SALLOUM RACING PRODUCTS" "VAC Motorsports.com"

Looks like it's from before VAC was officially VAC.

Measured it, 240mm so we're good.

Porsche tech here concurs, roll a whiz wheel over it, slam it together, and run it. There's no cracks in anything. Clutch is fine for while. I plan on making this thing easy to tear down anyways.

So, possibly tonight, I'll get home and get to bolting things together.

:D

So VAC doesn't sell friction discs for their flywheels? And they are just JBR flywheels in the first place?

Looks like it. The pic on VAC's site is a JB flywheel.

Looks the same as the one I got.

[slammin.e28]

Ok, so, in my quest to find a friction surface, I noticed that the VAC FW is stamped JBR. VAc said they didn't have any friction surfaces, so I'll shoot JBRacing and email and see what they can do.

Edit: Guy I'm buying it from knows VAC and called them to see about getting a new surface.

Emailed JB to see if they beat the price. I'm a cheap motherfucker.

[slammin.e28]

Wicked.

Just the way I roll.

It'll be here end of the week. Waiting on VAC to find me a replacement friction surface.

[LJ851]

Just ordered it.

$466.67.
