One week and it goes to storage... :(

I love Texas. I could drive that gorgeous beast year round.

Long time since last post. I'm really busy with my S54 swap. Here's a quick shot of the bay finally done.

The 'i' lip really has grown on me. I used to have one, an OEM one, but being naive and ignorant I got rid of it without a second-thought. Now i regret that.

Thank you guys ! The engine is almost ready to go in the bay. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

I hate the look of an iS lip on an E30 without skirts of some variant. It doesn't mesh with any of the lower lines on the car. It's like having "buck teeth".

OP your car is the tits- all of them

That looks beautiful!

Thank you Andrew !

I'm about to install your wiring. :)

[Jim Lepage]

I had to trim the cover but they fit well ! I'm eager to ear them. Probably next week I'll be ready for a test start.

I agree. lucky for me, i have an IX so it's got skirts.

Update, it cranks !!

Almost everything works but the parking lights. I have to figure why.

I completely redone the front wiring with brand new wire and BMW connectors.

At the moment I'm waiting my swaybar spacers from Garagistic to put the wheels back.

I also have to figure which coolant hose to use with the M42 rad and where to route the radiator overflow.

It should be ready for building the exhaust next weekend.
