So score one for the bimmer crowd lol
I recently joined as this Sunday I will be selling my 94 Integra GSR and buying an 87 325es. Very pumped and I have been trying to pick up a little here and a little there but had more questions on stuff I hadn't really seen a thread on.. and instead of posting 10 different threads... I figured I would throw one here since I have loads to learn.
This is what I had... (pic not taken by me)
What I will be starting with...
Plans are drop and wheels to start with along with some clean up, thinking about painting all the trim black, like along the windows and all.
Now to the questions (might be newbish... don't try to laugh too hard :))
1) On headlight brows, are they all aftermarket? or did it start as oem and then spread. Also how do they mount? Like if I'm buying a set used do I need to make sure it comes with hardware.
2) Looked into putting a "i" head on my "e" block (later learned this is a S-eta), is it pretty basic?
This is the part list I have so far:
dme (quickly learned this is what honda guys call ecu's lol)
harness
injectors
fuel pressure regulator
head
afm
throttle body
radiator (recommend to me)
It was recommended to me it would be cheaper to find a whole car and swap it over then to just piece it together.
3) This is more of a verifying, on my 87, I should be able to bolt up a 88-91 front valance and bumper, except I would have to remove tow hooks. Is this correct?
I'll leave it at that for now lol, I hope to get a build thread started in a few days, very excited about joining the bimmer crowd and also have enjoyed the site so far. Also thanks for any info in advance
