sorry for off topic.. I know you can swap in m3 hubs in the rear pretty easily, but what's the story on the front? it's alot more involved than that right? full strut swap? also m3 front wheels have a wider track than normal e30. then there's the wider track on the IX... Maybe going 5 lug m3 on an IX isn't as hard.

i have a headache now.

I think most do m3 hubs in the rear and the. Either swap to m3 struts up front or go to the e36 front suspension

updates! surprisingly!


painted tank




painted trailing arms




they were originally going to be for the black car, but then I found my other set of trailing arms with bearings in them that aren't totally fucked. preferring to do one rear wheel bearing job rather than two, I decided to keep the good bearings together, and pull these 4-lug hubs out in favor of the M3 ones I've been sitting on. so here's a picture of that.



predictably the asshole inner races stayed on.



fixed.








I've been refrigerating the new wheel bearings for a few days, so those should be in soon. still no progress on the goddamn sunroof.

hah. ok.

I painted the fuel tank with rubberized undercoating and put in the front window lock strip. Pics tomorrow.

Nice update. Need heat in my space so I can go back to work in garage. Was 4 degrees inside barn two days ago. Brrr

[kronus]

speaking of S50, here's most of an S50:



hi cams!



bye cams!



bye head!





and now it's off to the machine shop to have the guides fiddled with and the 60% leakdown corrected.
