1986 325 62k miles Lizzy my "Zephyr"
Thought I'd start a thread on my 1986 325 that I got several years ago with 42k miles and an autotragic in her. Since then I've done several things:
Done:
Bumper tuck
Fog lights delete
Lowered on Vogtlands
4.10 VLSD
5 Speed swap (done by Bimmerbuddies when my hand was busted)
Projector headlights retrofit
Bumper fillers refresh
Map light rearview retrofit
13 Button OBC retrofit
SSK with Zhp knob
Poly trans mounts
High flow muffler
15' Basketweaves with 20mm spacers
Oil cooler retrofit
7k tach retrofit
Maybe the last item hints on my next project, an 885 head swap! But while I'm at it... how about megasquirt and wasted spark too? ;D I'm going to list what I have and what I plan to get and any suggestions are more than welcome! I would also appreciate advice on wasted spark as I'm not entirely sure how to set it up.

885 Headswap from 88 325ix (head was rebuilt, new rockers and clean valves)
Wiring harness from 91 325i vert
Whodwho Megasquirt DME V1.0 (Got for just $10!!! :o )

Cabling to run wasted spark?
Variable TPS (89 525i auto or E36 sensor with adapter plate?)
Intake tube with IAT bung for AFM delete

Maybe:
Adjustable timing gear
Crank scraper
Gasket matching ports
I also have some other things I may install
Misc:
