[vivalegreg]

holy jesus..this meets gonna kick ass

[thereisnoyun]

yay! woot woot. cant wait.

damn rob, i still want to go 5 lug and your ti suspension is tempting. Also nice cause I have to pull my trailing arms out anyway to put bushings in.

just let me know and i'll bring them on sunday--that'll save you a trip to pasadena lol:)

no man, I'm selling the other set of head and I head parts I ahd from gf old car. I'm keeping the Seta stuff.

Oh ok, I've decided I want to buy the IE set, it's 2k but it comes with crank, custom forged pistons, rings and everything needed for a 3.1L stroker setup. They claim it makes power equal to the s50/2 (their words are "equal to the e36 m3").

That should keep me satisfied, although I put together a list of everything I want for the engine build to be complete and it's something like $5k is my cost. luckily I have time to save up!

hey bimmerpirate can you install e36 window switches?

I put in e36 switches a couple months ago with yun's help. I'll find the pics on my computer and post up a simple DIY. I had to read through the current DIY a few times and ended up just figuring it out myself. I will say this those. using a good set of quick disconnects from Home Depot made the whole conversion ten times easier. If you need help ask Yun, he and I got the whole thing done pretty quickly (minus delays for rain).

guys lets make a list of what people might need or want. If any of those who are attending has them we might be able to move some things around. Either trade/sale to help out each other.

- I got a complete set of conversion from a eta to an 2.7 stroker (intake, injector, harness, head, etc.

hey bimmerpirate can you install e36 window switches? if you remember me from last easter i came to the meet @ your house and you helped me install a 13b OBC. other than that i really want to get my fenders rolled asap so i can install suspension/paint car.

i think it'd be pretty cool if people brought stuff with them theyd like to sell/trade. like sell out of your trunk deal. i have a bunch of stock parts from going turbo:

-All a/c components
-complete stock exhaust=manifolds, cat, o2 sensor, muffler etc.
-m30 afm, 19lb injectors, bavauto 8mm spark plug wires
-late model fogs
-4.10 lsd
-stock injectors
-tstat housing
-i engine harness
plus more stuff ill just bring along

i need:

suspension (lowering springs, shocks, bushings etc.)
a better clutch than what i have (preferably 400tq+)
maybe a numerically lower lsd than a 3.73

[EtaSport]

I might be interested in a set of 14" wheels/tires, upgraded bushings, steering wheels, seats. 8)

I have a borla gen1 muffler dual in from an e36 (will work on e30 easily) that i can offer for sale, probably some more parts. If i get my seats and rails my vaders will be for sale soon.

The only work I'll probably do is fixing a few things in my cluster, getting my last gauge light wired up and a few odds and ends. Any other jobs to tackle? I'll be up for doing work.

*ah yes, any word on a fender roller?
