e30 325ix-86: with a Finnish touch

[jute91]

Digger: whether a pedal box setup is road legal or not in Finland, is open to debate.
Much of the stuff we build just has to look OEMish so the MOT inspector wont notice your custom parts.

Pedal box is legal with the certificate from the producer.

i think he meant since youre so open to hacking and customising , why not ditch the booster and run a pedal box setup. also you can build a proper setup with stock booster. some even shift the stock booster over an inch or so which would make it 10x easier to make a plenum. also smaller booster and corresponding caliper and m/c changes along with the offset position and would help again

I ran over couple ideas, had bought several boosters for the mockup but decided to run this setup. It gave me lot of room. ;)

new ignition coils


heater pipes are going to need some modifications too

Took some practices to the students at school ;)



Now when I have centering hub for the flywheel, it's time to
put it on a diet.

such an awesome build.

just ordered one of these ;) I want to hear the straight pipe, but not all the time ;) plan is to take 2x2,5" pipe from front to the back, 2-to-1 joint after collectors and then cut out shares it back to 2x2,5" which will lead to the back of the car, one silenced, one straight.



Prepping flywheel to be machined.

Taking final measurements from the crankshafts










So the m20 crank bolt bottoms in m57 crank. Problem is that m57 has longer threads in the crankshaft.







Bought m57 flywheel bolts for automatic transmission. Same size, only longer threads.





And it fits!

Don't forget the gall plate adds a another couple mm so you have more margin

Sold my volvo and bought toyota hj60 from Lapland! :)



back in home



HJ needs some repair before it can be thrustworthy daily :)



Starter motor gave up so I had to took it apart and fix it.
new bearings and bendix unit





Took the front output shaft out because it started making a noise also

Little wear so I'm going to use it only in L4.
Greased it well and installed back in the car.
