Finally back into an e30: ‘88 Alpine on Blue 325ic cruiser build
Rear subframe is back in and ready to have all new parts hooked back up! We’ve had one casualty - a dust plate bolt head snapped off into the new trailing arms. Gonna try to back it out with left handed bit and get a new one in there.
Rear us all wrapped up. Trying to bleed brakes and getting no fluid to the rear. It’s being stopped in the ABs module. Ordered a “new” unit to see if I can keep it. If not I may just delete - although I don’t want to.
refinishing the driveshaft this weekend and will be installing it to get ready for exhaust.
What are your exhaust plans? 3" oval tubing seems like a pretty great way to maintain ground clearance.
Thank you!! I was trying to find something more visual than the thread I found on r3v but couldn't. These are exactly what I was looking for. The new pump was 60 shipped and I broke the little black cover over all the wiring so needed a new one of those already.

Cause why not at least try haha. Got an exhaust cutout. I want the exhaust note to be quiet”er” but love how it sounds with no exhaust on it now. Think I’ll give this a try.

Might be nice under the rear subframe if your car is low, but even 3" round all the way back isn't bad as long as you don't have any clamps/flanges/resonators hanging down.
I think that's the real problem people have, especially with vbands.

I'm not honestly sure. Theres a great local exhaust shop that Ill have an appointment with after I get the brake and driveshaft stuff sorted out. I'd like a fairly quiet exhaust for cruising - thinking a nice resonator back to a muffler that fits/looks stockish. I'll have that cutout before the resonator if it fits.

Good to know, I was considering oval tubing but I'm shying away at the price point. I think I'll just give straight 3" a go.

Sweet! I'm hoping for a quiet cruiser as well, the cut out will be fun though
