this looks like it'll be good. you're gonna hate it when your lips start to loose their shine though...

[rThor432]

Wow, you should be able to fit some great tires on those and keep from stretching them.. if I'm seeing everything right. Awesome.

that's pretty sick jasper. keep it up!

i hope you're well.
i got a new alpine white. but it's only got two wheels. lol

[jahnaboi]

Lol sick. You should let me see it. That should be sick. When did you get it Jeff.

Actually I broke my left axle 3 times if I remember right. :)

And yes, you do have to sue the 318ti axles.

Wrong. You don't have to use them. You can but it would cause complications as its literally longer.

Actually you can't use 318ti axles...the inside where it bolts to diff is smaller diameter. Maybe you can use output shafts from ti diff too, or maybe small case e30 diffs match, I dunno.

True but using the axle would be about an inch too long which would cause the bearings to bind to the housing under load. Which is probably why Matt snapped 3.

Yes, I believe I also has the 318ti diff flanges.

If you do it the wrong way.

Here's what I found out playing with my 318ti stuff.

I used the stock e30 axles on the 318ti trailing arms.

Removed the old TAB and replaced them with my IE street urethane TAB without a fuss.

I also was able to retain the stock e30 abs sensor on the 318ti trailing arms using a spacer about 5 - 6mm. The spacer required can very. You have to make sure that there is about the thickness of 2 sheets of paper (0.2mm) clearance between the toothed ring and the tip of the sensor itself if you want it to work correctly.

Still using the same large case 2.93 lsd I've had in there. Everything works.

As for the brake pad sensor, I'm retaining the 318ti's wires + plugs as it would be cleaner and running the wire in a parellel sequence with the abs wire + gromet. Wiring the brake sensor (lining) from under the seat and removing the big nasty line. Makes for a cleaner install and allows the 318ti plug not to interfere with the trailing arm or anything when trying to splice the existing wiring.

Corvette fitment?

Corvette fitment?

Nope.

so what happen..no pics yet????

Nope. Studying for mid-terms. Have two this week. Although I am completely done with the rear and almost done with the front + steering rack and will be getting my alignment done on Wednesday. Going to run with dsII's staggered till my other rims are shinny.

Uploading some pictures right now.

Still have to re-bleed the brakes as there's still air in the system. Question: When you guys run dsIIs or any 17" rim does your tires rub the inside fender linings? If so, do you guys remove it completely?

The dsII's that I'm running right now have 245/40/17s in the rear and 235/40/17s in the front.

A lot of people never believed that my car was pretty low. These pictures will show different. I'm kind of sad at how low it sits. Seems like my car didn't raise much at all in the front...

+1 the DS2's with fat tires looks great on your car.

Thanks guys. Definitely will be better with the BBS's =).

Forgot to mention, I also installed the matching m3 steering rack (3.2 L2L) while I was in there. My car is an e36 m3 but with a e30 shell. =P

[Kilawin]

That looks great! What setup did you use for the front?
