Won't be slamming this one... 88 325iS Build Up

Exhaust is open headers right now! I have the single 2.5" built. Need to connect that to the headers :)

[bejbis]

nice, what did you do for the exhaust?

[dinanm3atl]

Too long. Ran into power steering pump problems(Apparently my M52 had some weird pump). Then needed S52 oil filter housing. Then realized I was missing parts like OBD1 fuel rail. Bunch a random crap.

Guys that I was working with handled it all in stride. Good stuff.

Huh.... I see what you did there.

I think my car might benefit from a stiffer front spring, but I haven't really got anything to compare it to... What wheel / tire package are you gonna run? If you mentioned it before, I missed it / forgot.

[dinanm3atl]

Yup. 525i GC spec spring. So it is the small barrel style. It should be a damn fine vehicle once done done.

GCs
ST Sways
UUC BBK
ALL new bushings/brackets/mounts/etc

[Bishop]

Almost exactly what I ordered... I went with 400# fronts, but I wish I had gone with 500# or whatever is close, I'm guessing it's the 525# springs.

You can run gauges off the UUC Oil Center. It is for the metal oil filter housing. M52 had the plastic one.(see pic 2).

oil center? and is the m50 one plastic or something? Im keeping a list of things for when I swap....thx

btw ill sell u an m badge 11$ shipped ;)

[dinanm3atl]

Motor had this weird PS pump that wouldn't connect up easily to what I had. Thus a swap and an OBD1 style PS Pump. Problem solved. Plus it is an upgrade over the other. Can run UUC oil center if I wanted now. And it is sweet mtech part. Totally could put on an ///M badge now.

[Matt-B]

why s52 oil housing?
