Always happy to help it's nice to have a car to work on. Kinda bummed you don't need that spacer in the end, was looking forward to making use of my CAD skillz and warming up the plasma cutter! Sure I'll have another chance soon, your car seems to be in never-ending need of something custom :)

Yep. Ill come up for something for you to draw and cut.

[deutschman]

Ooooofff! I just found something that is dangerously tempting. The AKG DTM short shifter, shifter plate, and selector rod. I want.

Make one yourself out of a sheet metal e30 console

Yeah thats what most people do when they do an m20 swap. You have to cut the metal shifter plate up and shorten it to bring the shifter closer to the front of the car. Other wise it is to fare back.

nice car man. where in SF are you located? for a second i thought you were a 2002 I see in Daly City in the mornings by the Bart station. Have you seen that 2002 around?

[deutschman]

Well I am in San Rafael right now. Just moved.
Is the 2002 in Daly city gray and very low?

Are your purchased mounts positioning the 260 tranny so the shifter platform has to be moved? It'll change sure, but not drastically.

Much rather do the E21 323 transmission and not hack up the tranny tunnel/etc. Considerably cleaner and largely plug and play. Still can be found cheaply if you are patient. Hope things are progressing smoothly for you.

PS if you wanted a SoCalVintage Tshirt let me know, John usually has a few left over to sell.

I thought about it some more after I put up that post, and I think I am wrong about having to hack up the shifter plate to bring it forward.
I dont think i will have to hack up the tunnel, at least I hope not. I think the 5 speed from the 318i should be small enough that I can just beat the tunnel out a bit with a BFH.


I got my M30 AFM today because race car...

Its like my cars big brother!!!

Love it! See the oil cooler at the front? Yeah this thing has an m20 in it!

Im glad you liked it. We did put an m20 in it, with a turbo. Alot of fun! I recently pulled the turbo, and am going to run NA, Im really anxious to get a better feel for it.
btw Ive been following your project, i wish i could devote the time into detail that you do. Very good work.

[deutschman]

Thanks man that means a lot to me.
How much power and torque were you guys pushing out with the turbo? What diff were you using?
I am also wondering what wheels those are?
That car is just so cool! I can not wait till my car is up and running! I want to drive it sooooooo badly!!!!!

[frankenbeemer]

Looks soooo good. :up::up:

I would guess around 250 at 2037 lbs. 3.73 lsd
The wheels are 15x10 basset wide 5's with custom instars.
Rock on man get this thing fired up!
