A trip down memory lane...89' 325is + S52 inside!

[TrentW]

Really like what you've done here sir.

[blitz355]

this is a great thread. A good read. thank you for using proper grammar and sentences! haha Can't wait for some more updates!

[markseven]

Especially when you're flying!! Mark, I got them off ebay...trick is you search for m50 headers, not s50/52. I don't see any on there now, but they pop up from time to time; and they're cheap too...hopefully they last at least a little while.

I bet :D

Thanks for the info - I'll keep an eye out on eBay. BTW, do you think you could wrap those shortys if you wanted to?

[gkurey]

I think they could be wrapped if you were patient!

Quick update....finished the exhaust today...its much quieter than I had anticipated, but thats OK with me...I dont need anything too flashy! And the big bummer...I can't get the car in gear; the clutch won't disengage. I replaced the clutch slave today and rebled a few times to no avail. I think I need to go into the tranny to see what is wrong. I can't believe I'm having a problem like this...I've done so many clutches over the years...ugh. Stand by for updates. I'll upload pics and vid of the exhaust this weekend. I also am determined to actually drive this car this weekend too...keep your fingers crossed!

[gkurey]

So, I was a moron and didn't pay attention when installing the clutch and threw the disc in backwards. I re-did the clutch and she drives! Seems silky smooth, but braking is rough and its a bit smoky. I am getting a CEL for the MAF so I will replace it and see if it helps. Updates and more pics to follow. Things in the near future are new brakes, new brake master, new LSD (3.73 is too short for me) and new CABs and CA's.

Stay tuned!

Awesome job! Nice to meet you earlier today - pleasure swapping stories and doing business.

For future reference - anyone considering a transaction with gkurey should have no worries - stand up guy.

I just read this whole thread! Awesome job on the car! The engine looks and sounds great along with the rest of the car! Keep up the solid work and keep the updates coming

What spring rates did you go with on the coilovers? I'm going to order them from bc racing once they come back form SEMA show on November 10th.

If I ever come to Charleston, we will have to meet up and get a beer.

When is it? Hopefully by then I will have a car worthy of showing off and not being embarrassed about the body.
