    S50E30 Project

    Hi everybody!

    I'm pretty new on this forum. I just bough myseft a great toy that needs a lot of love. Still not sure of what I will exactly end up with, but it should be interesting!

    It will be my summer/track car. (We have a lot of snow in Quebec...)

    The guy had built this for track purpose but he never finished the project. A bit too hardcore for me. (no heater, no windshield washer, no door seal... etc)

    The Body is a 325es and was repainted in 2003 I think. The car still look "clean", but there was a lot of rust hole that were filled with welded plates mainly on the floor, trunk, firewall. I don't really like repainted body, but I didn't bough the car for its body!

    Here is the fun part: MODS!

    tranny M3 5 speed
    flywheel UUC stage2
    clucht m5
    Stainless steel clutch lines UUC

    big six fuel pump
    3 INCH exhaust pipe
    suspension bilstein hd
    coil spring apex
    rear subframe strut bar
    Big rear sway bar (Still don't know the size yet)
    All new brake lines
    New calipers oem
    performance friction pad pf180
    Brand new wheel: Keskin KT1 17x10 and 17x8.5
    35mm spacers
    Tire toyo RA1 255/40/17 and 235/45/17
    TMS solid subframe bushing (Not installed)
    solid diff bushing TMS


    The car has a lot of problem to fix before it will actually roll...

    Step 1: Get the car waterproof
    - fix the sunroof DONE
    - fix the power window (jammed in opened position) DONE
    - Need a new fuse box FIXED
    - Add some door seels DONE

    Step 2: Get the main electric stuff working
    - Headlight IN PROGRESS
    - trun signal IN PROGRESS
    - windshied washer DONE
    - sunroof CANCELLED
    - windows IN PROGRESS
    - Sort all the wires under the dash IN PROGRESS

    Step 3: Fender must fit the wheels
    - Mold a "universal wide fender kit" (bimmershop.ca)

    note: I'm not sure about that, but the fender are already cut...

    Question:
    Does 10" wide wheel fit on the rear without spacer?
    Does 8.5" wide wheel fit on the front without spacer?

    Step 4: Interior "restoration"
    - Don't know what I will do...


    I also don't know In which step the heater and venting system will installed...




    As you can see: WIDE WHEELS!



    NEED A FENDER JOB!





    Need to clean this!







    I will get the car at the end of march... It will be a long wait!

    Please comment and/or give me some tips!


    Should be a long Project...!

                            As written in the the mods list, the rear tires are 255/40R17 mounted on 17x10 rims. And yes, there is some 35mm spacer in front and in rear

                            Question:

                            Can 10" wide wheel fit without spacers?
                            Is there any bad consequenses about spacer? (else than loading the bearing..)
                            There is also spacers in the front...



                            And noE30: the previous owner had fit a little pipe for the intake... Will remove this!
