I'm a parts ninja.

[ikonwun]

New wheels installed .



New rear sub frame and tie rods with spacer go on now. And abs delete with SS brake lines.

Lots still to do

[ikonwun]

Got crazy last night and started to pull the old rear subframe. Got almost everything done before I crashed out .


Got up today and went about competing this task. Everything is going as smooth as it can the mounts didn't hang up!!!! So just came off with out incident. Deleted the abs/ pads sensor wiring. Installed brake lines.




About to install the new rear end now.

[ikonwun]

All done, kinda. Need to drain and fill the diff this will be done tomorrow AM. And install e brake cables at a later date.

I can't wait to see how this feels more things solid mounted!!!!

[ikonwun]

All done earlier.

Drove it to work the welded dif is funny. I keep telling myself I'll get used to it. I want to use it for track days. But wanted to make sure everything worked ok before I put it on a shelf.

Here is her in a her glory.

So I decided to go out to drift and drag on Saturday night. When I was going over my check list I saw my rad was leaking out of the seam... So I scrambled and picked up one from a friend and it had a hole in it, just my luck. I ended up using JBWELD and it worked great !! Didn't leak a drop. I'm going to replace the stock rad with a 318is rad that will help clean up the bay this week. Deleted the expansion tank.



First run ever.


After my wife encouraged me to fix my rad and go out even tho i was all ready defeated, I snapped an axle an hour into drifting. I thought it was my welded diff coming apart on me. But found a lose axle and my awesome wife ran to chandler and grabbed one of my spares. After I replaced it, I continued my first drift event.



I just want to say... drifting is harder than I thought it was going to be. I have road raced and auto-x in the past so I have been on track but I just couldn't get the hang of it on my first try. I will be out every chance I get now.
I'll post videos of how bad I was later.

Well I got a new rad. E36 318i
New

Installed


Bay cleaned up some more.


Part have been ordered!!!!!!



Have new shift joint and seal will be doing a full rebuild of the shifting system.

[ikonwun]

Made this little guy( and one other)


Then deleted the pump.


All lines rerouted



So I'm wondering why no one posts in my thread? Every time I post an update over 100 people view it but nobody post anything? Nothing to say? Am I on r3vs black list ?

Couple days of driving really makes me want to install a firmer master cylinder.
