I hear you some how got even better at snowboarding, you bastard.

Myself, Ryan, and Sean spent last Saturday riding with Cale and then met up with Robin (foster)

All i could do to try and keep up with them and they lead us into some retarded shit in the gulleys off Pan dome (between the Chute and P gardens)

I don't have too much extra cash for snowboarding as i'm trying to save for school but I'll be going up a few times. i'll PM you my #.

84 318i to 325is, rear sub, disc, m20, lsd Swap

UPDATE:
Just purchased another $300 car! This will be the Donor to the white 318i and will turn it into a 1984 325is essentially... I bought it from one of the dudes that works at the shop i ride for and made me a deal tuff!

The car: 1989 325i automatic with 199k. The car still runs finaminal and has tons of new parts and good maintenance. The plan is to swap the rear subframe/discs and m20 from the gold car then stuff that into the white car while throwin in a LSD and 5 speed! I'm stoked

couple camera phone pics, excuse the quality..

We just finished up tonight, completely stripped the whole interior with acception of dash/obc And pulled the M10 out.

Got my camera back soo i decided to throw up a few detailed pics... The projects coming along at a decent pace, im waiting on a friend who is buying my Jeep then things will really start moving.. As of now im still in need of a 5-speed, driveline & LSD...all of these parts will be purchased as soon as the sale is final.

The project; swapping a 84' 318i to a 325is.. I'm tearing the M20 down to the block, replacing the headgasket, head bolts all gaskets going through the head all before reinstalling. I'm also swapping rear subframes in favor of the rear discs and LSD. Its possible i may swap out the front aswell...



Worthy pics..






The Man! pulling 80% of the work because of my separated shoulder

Cool project. You should definately swap the front brakes from the 325i to the 318, i'm pretty sure the 318 has solid rotors, while the 325i has the vented ones, I think the caliper and carriers should bolt onto the 318i strut housings, or I have heard you can use the thinner 318i struts in the larger diameter 325i strut housing, but i'm not sure on that one.
