Alright guys, figured as the cheap old bmw I bought to be daily transformed into something much more amazing, I'd share and tell the story of this car.
Bought all stock from some kid in bham for 600 bucks!!
the ad made the car seem like a pos, but I didn't notice any major problems.
condor offset CABs fixed the only real problem the car had when I got it..
right after front short stroke coils.
1984 Schwarz 325e
dailyed it for about a year with no problems whatsoever.
had stock 2.7 diff and was perfect for the commute to work everyday.....
okay over all the boring shit..
right off the bat I loved the low end torque this car had. And as both my old corollas slowly started falling apart I found myself abusing the bmw more and more, till A POINT OF NO RETURN....
Most of these next pics were with a
stock 2.7.
Current setup:
motor
2,7 bottom end
low mile 885 head, freshly done up
motronic 1.3 swap
17lb injectors
2 in exhaust
cai :p
all routine maint done, t belt twice,water pump, all new seals, gaskets, head bolts,etc.
Drivetrain:
new stage 2 clutch
new zf tranny mounts
oem carrier bearing
low mile 3.73 LSD
Suspension & Steering:
front short stroke coils
bilstein hd from IX
cosmo springs
GC camber plates
IE 25mm sway bar
Condor m3 offset CAB
M3 Sway bar end link
steering rack spacer with rebuilt steering rack
New rotors and pads
1 in x100 to x114 hubcentric wheel spacer
Interior aka OFFICE
m tech 1 steering wheel
evolution reclinable bucket seats
razco short throw shifter
Currently awaiting tandem legal cage. ;D
Lots im forgetting and lots of money spent and random maint. that pops up.
Overall it served its purpose and IS A SIMPLE AND COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET SIDEWAYS ALL DAY LONG. Drive to the track, bash limiter all day, drive home....
Ill shut up and let the action shots take over.
Plan to do the local grassroots drift series with the car and current setup.
Future plans include tandem legal cage and turbo
