Empty pockets and lazy

now what happened?

[E30SPDFRK]

Took a cruise to a car show/dyno day yesterday in CT. I have been feeling like the car is a bit slow for what it is, so I wanted to see what the 235k motor was putting out. Needless to say, I am very happy with the results of the motor, so I guess its just my horrible diff ratio that is slowing the car down.

Couple pics and a video.

just read through this. Car is coming along nicely.

[E30SPDFRK]

Thank you.

I put a 3.25 diff in today, but I haven't gotten to drive it very far to see how much I like it. Seemed nice for the little I did though.

[E30SPDFRK]

Broke it bad. Couple valves stuck in the pistons.

I'm just going to find a new M30 to rebuild again and part this one out. I would love to find a m90 so I could use my crankshaft and have a 3.6 liter, but I'm probably just going to pull the b35 out of the new e32 at the yard.


My new springs should be here sometime this week, but I don't really see a point of putting them on. I'll probably just throw them on the 318is until I get this car going again.

[E30SPDFRK]

All right! My Tieferlegungsfedern finally arrived lol


:)

[Desaevious]

What are you mounting those on?

[E30SPDFRK]

I put them on the broken one already. At least it can look pretty lol

[Desaevious]

I meant what type of struts? And whats the spring rates of those...I saw some one's thread with that and I didn't see a rate.

[E30SPDFRK]

Ah, lol. I put them on my billy sports, but I've heard that they are too low for them. We'll see. I've heard the rates are about 375 all around, but idk hot true that is.

Yeah I read that the Billy sports won't hold too well with these...I guess we'll both see lol.

[E30SPDFRK]

Lets do this again lol

Went and picked up a new engine on Wednesday.



Next to it's new home


Got some time to mess around with it today, so I checked some stuff and powerwashed it. Going to try to get the head off tomorrow morning and see what parts I need to order. Deadline to get it in and running is yet again the Vintage Festival.







2 weeks away.

Wow, its like deja vu all over again. Good luck with the project. Hopefully you won't be doing this again next year!
