Just went through this thread for the first time... I like it good work.

nothing mew. I've been cheating on this project with a z3 m coupe. during the summer I will return to it. need to find a body guy.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Anything mew?

For impedance of Injectors a Toyota resistor pack for avalon 6 cylinder will work perfectly; 1998 avalon uses the same resister as a mk4 Supra; played this game on 2JZGTE with J spec brain and usa bigger supra injectors

Just put it in line on the power path pre injectors

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind, but I think I'll be going with full-on aftermarket injectors and MS does impedance matching. We'll see.

Is that Byzantine?

Byzanz, yup!

cut out replacement trunk latch sheetmetal from a junkyard car:



It seem that the way BMW did the body seams on this car is worse than newer e30s - the edges of some spot welded panels are not straight, and were not sealed well. The grinding continues. I had a body shop guy come by and take a look at it, he quoted me a somewhat absurd price.

Also, most of my front brakes are here. They will come together at some point this week. In the meantime I've been driving this..

got distracted with making the M3 have a real transmission and work properly for a track day. back at it now. Currently arranging brakes, no real progress on bodywork. I got a set of axle sleeves from Lithuania, putting them on will be an adventure.



Here's a e46 328i front rotor, with an e30 one on top of it. I think it will be a sizeable upgrade. The calipers are a lot beefier, as well.



I got trailing arms from a '91 e30 325i, because mine are the early small-bearing ones. The rear will be e30 M3 standard, the hubs of which fit into regular e30 trailing arms. Here are some m3 rear caliper carrier brackets, pre- and post-sand-blasting. These have seen some shit, but clean up with some effort. The calipers I got with them are getting sent in as cores.



I'll have to play with the master to get a good bias. The rear calipers are 40mm. The front e46 caliper piston diameter is 54mm, while the e32 one is 44mm, so it's possible that an e32 25mm MC and a bias valve will let me get it dialed in.

A neat thing came with some parts from Blunttech:

Your manifold looks a little restrictive..
Awesome build...!

I'm having a experienced TIG welder friend drop by tonight to check out the various rust damage. The butthole should be all fixed next week.

There is legend of the adapters or plans for them existing, but they're pricey.

problem solved

I want see those front brakes.:popcorn:

Nifty, so an adapter and a good WG then? It's like you are already BAR'ed, right?

And yeah it's like I'm already BAR'd, but not sure how that works for aftermarket WGs.

[kronus]

it is external.

edit, like so:

[Farbin Kaiber]

Can't you weld it shut and run an external?
