Chipped head...fixable?

[kingston]

Parallel lives, then! I, too, am hoarding parts for a mad-dash week's worth of work in on my 325.

I've got the heated black leather sport seats heding my way this week, and I have almost all the parts for the 'e' to 'i' top end swap for my SETA.

I still need to get all the swap parts to do the 5-lug conversion, tons of bushings, vacuum lines, coolant lines, E36 rack, MTech II valence, etc, etc...

What are your plans for the 330i?

What are your plans for the 330i?

It's got what's listed in my sig, to compliment that I've got ebay headers. It's a bitch of a job, so I'm waiting until I get the e28 going.

Plans branch from that:

Exhaust= Headers > X-pipe (resonator delete) > muffler delete w/dual Volvo S70 tailpipe extensions.

Engine= ZHP cams. While I'm in there gonna do the VANOS seals and rattle kit, VCG, oil lines, complete cooling system overhaul w/metal waterpump.

Software= Shark injector tune.

Driveline= X3 3.91 rear diff. (Stock is 2.98, tallest gears in the e46, only came on the 330 5sp, go figure.)(Also will have to use a automatic 32x driveshaft, as the 330 DS is different from all others) I'm going to work on an LSD setup, as no e46 came with a LSD except M3s and they are specific only to the M3. :hitler:

I'm building mainly for auto-x. May get coilovers at a later date, but the UUC sway bars are pretty much 1" diameter each, so it stays pretty planted.

This is the Summer plan. The e28 I'm trying to have done by May for Vintage, then I'll ride it all Summer while the e46 is down.

Need any parts for the e2i swap? I just finished building one for a friend, just waiting on a warm/non-wet/snowy day to swap it over. I've got tons of shit laying around.

Well, I may need a new head :)

But, seriously, here's what I still need:
325i throttle position switch
325i intake bellows (boot)
325i air flow meter
325i 3.0 fuel pressure regulator
325i vacuum line from brake booster, to bellows, and to throttle body side

Do you have any of these parts? If so, I'd be interested in getting prices from you.

Vielen Danke!

I'll have to check. If I don't have them, I work at a indie shop as the parts mgr, so I can probably hook you up. ;)

Dude, that's a really cool offer - thank you!!
Please let me know when you can.

No problem man. I just wanna help another e30 guy get his ride goin! PM me a list and I'll see what I can do.;)

Yer the man! I was just reading some of your build thread stuff on the white E30. Love the 'Scrappage Survivor' sticker! Heh!

[slammin.e28]

Haha, thx! Literally pulled that car out of a scrapyard/swamp. That got sidetracked when I decided to tear down the M30 for a high compression build. It'll probably get my B34 from the e28 and my other e30, a grey 325is, will get the built motor. Lol. Too many things, not enough money!

That sticker was an ebay.co.uk special.
