Tennis court engine swap! Baller! Can't wait to see it done, I like your car a lot.

[So Live]

Damn man, that thin is lookin good. Youll be happy with the motor for a while. Get a good chip and itll wake it up quite a bit. We have a pretty similar set up :) keep up the good work!

Andy, looking good, good progress! Thumbs up.

Did you buy the car from an auction ?

Thanks! I got both of the cars for a steal of a deal off of craigslist..

Yep, same wheels. Cool. Do you happen to have any model numbers or anything for them? I googled like a mad man and couldn't find any info at all.

I don't, but I can look tomorrow at the wheels and see what I can find.

why did you get a none vanos m50? just cause the price it right or is there some benifit that im overlooking?

The price was right, and I've heard that they can be good for forced induction down the line..


Update from today:

I cleaned up the engine bay quite a bit but still have a lot left.

I cleaned the m50 and started removing the brake booster and steering rack to get ready for the new booster and e36 rack.

I also powerwashed the whole underside of the car and wheel wells.

A few pics:



I liked this sticker that came with my suspension:



You can see through!



Thats all for today.

The new booster and race headers should be arriving tomorrow!

More updates later!

Sweet! are you working on a tennis court??

Yeah, in my parents backyard.

Its perfect since its so big and flat, we've fit 4 cars back there and still had space to work on all of them..

Neato!

[BDSax]

should change out the steering rack while you have the m20 out. MUCH easier.
