Nice!

what turbine housing are you running on the S257 SX-E ?

Nice!

what turbine housing are you running on the S257 SX-E ?

I'm using a T3 to 3" Vband 0.82 A/R housing from AGP Turbo. I already had bought the T3 manifold or else I would've used the normal Borg Warner 0.8x AR T4 housing.
Might consider a smaller A/R if I had a low comp motor.

Nice! minus the garagistic bushings.

Make sure to put 12.9 hardware in those uprights.

[ZEKTI]

Fantastic thread! So cool that you're also building this in Iceland. Those KWs are amazing.

[Mkcustoms88]

Beautiful build so far, looks like you have access to a garage when you need it makes things easier, keep up the great work

Nice! minus the garagistic bushings.

What’s the deal with the garagistic bushings if I may ask?

[Glaede]

That's an awesome upgrade! The proper way to do 5-lug! :-)

Got a little package from USA today

Nice- that's a dreamboat setup. I had a setup almost completed but never followed through with installing it. With the E30M3 KW Coilovers available with ackerman arms, it makes the conversion quite tempting. The main obstacle are brakes and dust shields. Rear hubs are quite pricey, too, but are at least still available. I remember just a few years ago one could buy rebuilt M3 calipers on Rockauto for $40-50 a pop. Oh, how times have changed.

[Mazi!]

Just got some more stuff


e30 m3 front dust covers
e30 m3 front swaybar ends
e30 m3 front brake clips
e30 control arm brackets
and some bolts and stuff..





New pistons and rubbers for e30 m3 front calipers




Im going to sandblast the front brake calipers and paint them with that set,,, i got the idea from Sreten at m539 restorations on youtube
(silvergrey color)




Some more new stuff....
new speedsensor, speedsensor plug housing, swaybar stuff.




Bought the rear swaybar used (er smá ryðguð,, (its a little rusty im going to paint it) and e32 750 mastercylender




Front control arm bushings installed in brackets




new speedsensor installed




bought the speedsensor plug housing new because its cracked and old..




Cleaned the rear control arms before disassemble




Rear control arms disassembled




Dropped the subframe out,,, im not going to use anything on that picture (only the subframe itself)
