New here. E21.

Build looks good! Keep it up and eventually, there won't be anything left to replace.

I think the E21 has a cool look, very close to the 2002, which I love. It probably has to do with the angled front end from the hood down.

Cool car. In for more pics.

Thanks! Yeah I still have some drivability issues. I need to look into the 318i tps since I'm not sure the ecu is seeing the throttle move.

But yeah the shark nose ISO favorite part.

I got my tach working. I wasn't working when I did the e30 318 swap so I'm glad to get it functioning again

So I finally figured out my dme was bad causing the last drivability concerns left in my swap. I took it apart to see if it was something simple like a cracked solder. Nothing visible. I found a good dme for $50 shipped on r3v. Not too bad! The car is driving much better

Another project I'm working on is upgrading the lights. Does the e30 bucket fit the best? I believe I have 5 series or 7 series buckets. Does anyone have any pics of how you installed the buckets and what exactly had to be trimmed? I have found a few good threads but the bucket install is a lil vague.

The guibo and trans mount were killed from some old trans leaks. I resealed the trans a bit ago but didn't have the funds to replace these until recently. New guibo, IE trans mount, sway bar end link upgrade for the engine damper. Since I have a newer e21 but older steel motor mount arm, I had to do some grinding to get the damper mount and steel motor mount arm to work together

the rides

the car drove grear this weekend. went for a spirited cruise, then went to SF cars n coffee. I also learned why e21 is called tail happy ;) very fun.

Im liking how this thing is coming along! Moving the battery to the trunk would help settle that tail down a little.

the battery is in the trunk ;)
