'91 318is, 16V swap.

[FunfGan]

Updates in the hizzle.

Cleaned up the engine some( still can't tell :rofl ), put the painted VC's on, and put my new VC and IM gaskets on.




Finally got the little bolt/ bracket thats meant to hold the dizzy down, as well as a few new sensors.



Picked up a hand- rivet gun to do the sunroof delete (function before form ;) )



A new hood pin system.



New, heavy duty shears for various aluminum bits.



Picked up this bad boy, since my t-5 didn't have a knob already on it. The weight is awesome.




Then got trendy with my steering wheel, and started re-priming to paint my floor again.






Should be ordering sound deadening/ insulation this next week, along with a new water pump and the roll bar. My Clutch pedal/ assembly is still on backorder, its supposed to ship the 3rd of April. I'll be tackling wiring and the fabbing the trans mount tomorrow.

Looks good except for the Shepard Fairey crap on the steering wheel. I don't want to tell you what to like or do; I just want to make sure you know how much of an unoriginal ass he is.

Here's an article about some of the work he's ripped off: http://www.art-for-a-change.com/Obey/index.htm

Haha, I just had stickers lying around and they matched the car. Hell, I don't really stand for half of what he does. Hence why, "make art, not war", was changed to, " Make war, not art" ;) I've basically defaced all of the stickers in one way or another. But thanks!

You, sir, are a winner.

Why hood pins on an e30?

Why hood pins on an e30?

Because racekar bruh. Well no, 50% because my stupid hood release cable was done for, and 50% so I can roll around hoodless. And 50% because I foresee the hood needing to come off a lot in the future. Thats 150% worth of reasoning.

Also, I probably won't update much on here anymore, not that many people are still following. I'm just too lazy to update 2 threads. Also, I'm most likely going to be a test vehicle for a callabo between an S|W company, and Fortune Auto coil overs, so thats the best place to keep it going.

Will do! I've got break coming up, so I'll keep it updated throughout the week.

[jaywood]

Will it be running by the end of break.......?

Probably not, maybe. We shall see! It may be running, but not driving.

[FunfGan]

I'm bored, I'll play catch-up.


So the past few days have been full of little things, some of which I haven't gotten pics of yet.

1. finished up the interior, for the most part. Got the door cards in, most of the Dynamat stuff laid down, mounted the tach and put some stickers on :D








2. bolted the trans up, only to find this,





Thats not good... Lets look under the car,






I've emailed e30v8.com, but I think I'm just going to chop the current passenger side mount and reweld it correctly. And this is how I left her for the day,







Repin' Rudeboi*



And she made a new friend...

S'more small work today, to keep me busy since I now have to wait to build my trans mount :(

Started off the day picking up some paint and other bits, and found this 90 piece tool kit for $15. Not bad for the quality of it!



Then I cut up the door handles/ armrests to give me more room for the cage. I forgot to get pics of the finished piece, so I'll just update tomorrow with the before/ after pics.

Picked up a fire extinguisher, still deciding where is the most convenient place to put it/ easiest place to reach.





Finally painted the trim rings that surround/ hold in the headlights.





Pulled the trunk off to do some paint/ dent work and delete the 318is badge. Stickers!




Repainting my tow hook from purple.




Then got to work on my new valance/ lip. I don't have any before pics(I'm bad at this hahah), but here it is after painting.




And very quick test fit,





And the view of my cluster from my the drivers point of view, hahahah.




And the base of the trans mount...
