Nice work! Can't to see the new wheels

Ah the passenger side of the pan being covered in oil, I know that one too well. Replaced every damn seal and gasket in my engine when I took it out of the donor car and here it is a couple of years later and it's leaking like that too.

Those adapter fittings are nice- I wish there were other bolt-on cooler options outside of the overpriced CSF unit.

I run the Motorsport Hardware tracklite 10mm hubcentric spacers on Linda. They’re quite nice, and the price isn’t too painful. IIRC if you email him he also offers an R3V discount.

If you dig in the E21 parts catalog I think you can find the clutches there. And, while in there you could swap in another clutch disk and thin plate in place of the thick spacers. I think though the clutches from BW are upgraded.

Looking good, Hope to see it at The Vintage this year! Fingers crossed.

[Diff stuff]

Going from 2->3 clutches should just be removing a spacer and adding another clutch/dog plate. Going to 4 requires meat to be removed from the carrier cap or an aftermarket cap from racing diffs or someone.

You can find the BMW diff TIS online, I think Pazi88's recent E39 LSD youtube video has a link to it if you can't find it elsewhere?

I'm starting to tackle this soon to make a 4 clutch 2.93 to pair with my ZF trans.
I don't know if I have all the pieces of the puzzle, but for the rebuild side of it, so far I have:

• front/rear pinion bearings/races (Either SKF or Timken from Rockauto)
• side cover bearings/races
• 33101210518 Gasket seal/cover kit. Seems to have 3 bearing seals, cover seal (x2? maybe different fitment), output orings, axle clips, speed sensor oring, drain/fill plug washers. Doesn't have the metal dust covers though.
• 2x 33121744368 crush sleeves for the pinion if I fuck up the first time.

My brother took the whip out early the other day to snag some new photos to keep me motivated.



I'm hoping to scrape enough money together to put tires on the Style 5s, buy tuner lugs, get the right size hub rings and do a tune up for the Vintage. Keep your fingers crossed.

Really clean build!

I guess you went from the aftermarket wheels to the oem ones, and i'm doing the exact opposite
Do you remember how bad the poke was on those rotas with the 5mm spacers to clear the caliper on the front?

Really like the look, but in my country, if the wheel pokes out too much from the body I'm screwed

Thanks!
