Project: Spielereien. AKA "The dumpster fire"

[delamaize]

good update! congrats on the liquid encouragement. At least you bought parts, and not cars. that rarely turns out well

Yeah, Garagistic got a pretty good chunk of change from me. Bunch of stuff I needed for the swap, or for other projects. Picked up rear camber/toe kit, Billet throttle cable bushings for M60, Exhaust manifolds for the M60 swap, Engine mounts, sub frame spacers, tranny mount extension, drive shaft, Tach splitter, Fan, Drop hats, and a P/S block off block. Then I called and left a message at UUC, I'm pretty sure I sounded really drunk, but they still called me back. After my conversation with them I bought one of their "medium weight" flywheels and clutch kits. Shit's getting really real. I'll post pictures when the parts get here.

It will probably be this fall before I actually start assembling the whole thing. I still have some parts I want to find and build, and we need to get my buddies Aristo swapped IS300 running first.

Drunk M60 swap parts spree!!

So I'm not going to lie, I had too much to drink tonight. I had been back and forth on buying some of the needed swap parts for a while now, and the liquid encouragement, and my buddy maston convened me to just pull the damn trigger. I got a care package from Garagistic.com coming soon.....

....still drunk btw.....

Updated first post with current information.

yes you can use m62 flywheel/clutch on the m60.
make sure you match the clutch and the flywheel, as the m60 stuff is a different diameter. (larger)

there are no single mass setups besides going with performance lightweight stuff.

Here comes a dumb question!

M60 and M62 flywheels, Are they interchangeable?
I'm trying to locate a flywheel and clutch for my swap, and I have the opportunity to buy the set that was attached to the M62 that I got my 420g from. I don't want to go back to the dual mass, but it looks like I am going to have no choice, unless I come to a point where I can drop $2k on a set up.

Also, is there any other flywheel/clutch combinations that will work with the M60/420g?

from my research the orange dealer sticker was a service bulletin software update that they did to cars that were brought in for service, much like a recall. i've had 4 e34 404 dmes in my hands and two had the sticker and two did not. shouldnt make a difference, either way.

DME showed up today, it has one of those orange BMW Service action stickers on it, not sure if thats a good thing or not, guess we will find out later....

From what I understand, the 0261200404 is OBD1. Unless I am completely off base.

[CMart]

Does the 404 DME require an OBDI conversion?

This thing will be such a sleeper with that motor in it. It was nice meeting you at that Dicks gtg.

Likewise man! Besides the fact that I think the shitty paint gives is part of it's personality, I also think the sleeper factor is going to be worth while. I can't wait to see the look on the first person's face I lay to waste with Spielereien.

(for those of you who have not figured it out, Spielereien, is Shenanigans in german. ;D)
