It Lives

Awesome!!! :D

Thanks man!

any more updates? How does the hybrid motor run? what kind of power are you getting on the butt dyno?? I must know these things!!

No butt dyno yet... remember, this car has not been drivablel since I started this project. It still has a ways to go before I can legitimately road test it. I can say that it turns over the tires rather easily, much more so than my E34 540i/6 does, but still, that's no indicator. Plus, I don't have anything but the 404 DME running it right now. I'm trying to stay focused on getting it road legal and pretty much finished before I do any real tuning on it, so it may be a while yet before the final answer is in...

Is there a town named London in Ontario?

Also, relax a little and use some spelling and punctuation in your posts.

Yes, the ZF 5-speed from the E34 530i is what you want, it bolts right up.

Yes there is a London Ontario, its not to far from Paris Ontario and was beside Berlin Ontario (until they changed the name to Kitchener in the 1930s).

Good luck finding a 5spd E34 530 transmission in Ontario. The closest I ever came was a guy in Buffalo that had an entire car for sale for $700 however he would not part it.

If you keep your eyes out on Kijiji in the GTA about once a month someone is parting a E39 540i/6. With some bargaining you should be able to pick up the flywheel, tranny, shifter linkage and drive shaft for $700 - $1000.

what? buy the whole car if you EVER get a chance to buy an E34 530i/5 for $700!!! That is how you get free stuff! You can easily get $700 back just by parting out that car. I have done it many times, that's how I have a free M60B40, free M20B25, free G260, etc etc

finally finishing up!
and its alive with a full exhaust

[iamsam]

why is it so quiet? sound filtering on your camera? volume leveling?

[robiniscool]

my bad it was shot from a phone camera, i think its pretty quiet, but i did add a resonator along with muffler

Create a time machine that allows me to squeeze 30+ hours from every 24 hour period... that would be a start, lol...
