after having purchased to my car in APR '05 w/ a blown 2.7-- and after all this time (can't say that i've worked everyweekend on the car :smt011 ).. i was finally able to start it up and drive it around the block --!!!
with no previous BMW experience, but with the help of R3Vlimited, i was able to identify, and purchase an 'i' motor, install & wire up the whole thing.
when i started. i didn't even know that there was a existed a mechanical diffrence between an eta & an i, hell i didn't even know wht motor my 325 came with.
far from being complete, as it started today, installed on the car:
'88 m20b25 41000 original miles
173 DME
12lb single mass flywheel
IE shorty headers (open)
IE urethane motor mounts
getrag 260 w/amsoil mt90
Sachs clutch/pp
SSK Z3 2.8
belt driven Fan delete
new timing belt
bottle caps on 185/70/14
parts in the garage eagerly awaiting today!!!
Koni yellows
IE stage III's
Lamin-x (optic blue and yellow)
CRX Si seats
16" SSR's on hoosier road race slicks
15" Momo Quasars (no tires yet, prolly Azenis RT-615)
of course the car has been sitting, so brakes are mushy and need to be addressed
and so begins the lightening of the car..
and further impovements..
thanks folks !!
I am STOKED !!
