Today was a big day. My 16 inch fan (which barely fits btw) arrived a lot faster than I expected, and I needed something to preoccupy my time.

So, here we go!

Ripping out all the old stuff.



I cant believe this much shit was wedged in between the aux fan and the ac condenser! Totally disgusting.



New parts to be installed, which include a Mishimoto Aluninum radiator, a 16 inch pusher fan, a new expansion tank, and a new upper E36 m3 radiator hose.



The garbage pile is getting bigger!



had to trim this a little bit, cause the SC is really close to the outlet hose of the radiator.



All Installed!





And the obligatory front end shot to finish it off.



The dyno, an updated tune and exhaust are next. Stay tuned!

Also found these while digging through my bag of old parts. I cant wait to install the pedals! On the hunt for a dead pedal, so if you see anything let me know!

Hey dj, what rims are those in your sig? ^^

yes esm junk.


I want to hit up this meet. sounds legit

Why a 2.93?

It might seem perfect for most, but a 3.25 is way too short.

First gear is gone in literally 1 second. Second gear doesnt last much longer.

And I do a lot of freeway miles, and 3k is 68 mph. Which is ridiculous. Cause the last thing I want to do is cruise with traffic at 3800 rpms, when I can swap it out and get better mileage.

I have unfortunately had to await funds before I can purchase the spal fan to complete
the radiator install. Tomorrow night it will be ordered.

The E36 M3 is relaxing to drive, but damn is it slow! It takes forever to gain speed on the freeway. I am definitely spoiled. haha

I got an amazing deal on a brand new computer from my buddy who impulsed bought one right before he is scheduled to deploy. So I had to set aside funds for that. Boy is it fast, and I am having a good time having my laptop, and the new desktop to mess around on. 8 gigs of ram, and a terabyte hard drive, as well as an upgraded video card!

Swapping out the 3.25 lsd for the 2.93 lsd sometime soon. Pics will be posted.

What happened with the coolant?? And when is the next meet going to be?

The expansion cap failed. i guess it was old.

We are gonna have to wait and see what the leaders over at SocalE30 set up as the next meet. I will definitely be attending. And the Julian cruise, and all the other upcoming stuff.
