Diaries of a AWD E30

So is this thing sold or something?

lol, so longer would be which ones then? I feel the ix ones are already pretty long, relatively.

The iX endlinds are longer than the E36 endlinks
But in order to fit the E36 bar you need even longer endlinks than the original iX endlinks :)

[jeenyus]

Just longer endlinks :) both E36 and iX endlinks have the same type of ball joint. only the lenght is different

Ok that's what I was thinking. So the answer is? Adjustable e36 links? Standard ix links?

I got E36 m3 links with the bar I got, they are shorter than the iX links.

Was that just bolt on, how it feels compare stock??

Those wheels look sick! But, when is the framerail getting notched for the subframe?;D

I'll eventually throw a turbo on mine. A friends dad gave me a set of Bosch 44lb injectors that I currently have no use for...hmmmm

I think I'm just going to get some bump steer spacers like the rwd mrt kit. Cause I honestly don't want to do that anymore. A big amount of work to realign a the stock driveline.

I need to pull the trans to put the starter plate in. I also need to get it running on ms2 cause I have no stock o2 sensor long enough and I need to pass emission soon.

Not yet, haha, that’s something I will figure out. Don’t think it would be possible with stock intake manifold. Pretty sure I’ll swap it before that. But we’ll see how it plays out.

Rest of the turbo parts ordered. Working on pulling the trans to reinstall the starter plate, then time for ms2 and getting the intercooler/ cold side piping sorted. Will go back to n/a until running on ms2.

I'm sure you are going to already, but please keep us updated on this process. I've always thought some upgraded sways would be very nice on the ix.

Yeah the e36 bar fits. You just need sway link mounts moved and custom length links. My links may be different because the way my sway links are mounted vs stock. Pic for reference, and yes I will certainly post it when/ if I can get the damn bar back from powder coat to measure for links.

Looks rad with the Compomotives!

Thanks Ludwig, preciate that man.

[jeenyus]

The e36 sway bar is getting powder coated at the moment, I grabbed some 23mm e30 bar poly bushings and need to get some custom end links ordered for the right length links.
