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

[PaladinReed]

where did you source your seats?

[dinanm3atl]

I have the reinforcements for the rear. So won't be using those brackets. I am going to drive it with stiff springs and front bar with stock rear first to test it out.

Seats were local pick up 2nd hand.

Going out of town. Motor is in the hands of friends... car looks like hell! Stay tuned as this thing should be firing VERY soon and then more work gets done!

[dinanm3atl]

Fresh control arms in. E36 Rack installed. New boots, mounts and tie rods installed:




Motor getting prepped and parts coming off and others going on...

And the progress....

Get that engine in there and let's roll!

[Matt-B]

why s52 oil housing?

[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]

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]

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).

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.

[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]

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.
