Let me know... might be interested in a 24V swap also.

No worries man, i would like to source some new tires and a couple other things before I swap the springs/shocks anyway. But ill be in contact later this month or early august.

Hey guys I am going to take a break probably til around the fall. If someone has an emergency or needs some minor work done I will do what I can. I was hoping that I wouldnt have to turn people away but my day job is taking too much time I can hardly get my own stuff fixed.

Appreciate all your support. Reek-you will hear back from me when I can get your list sorted and priced out. tbolt-I can get your springs/shocks done still just let me know

Quickest, biggest things to replace on the shock/spring swap are rear shock mounts, front strut mounts/adjustable or fixed camber plates, front control arm bushings can be done rather quickly. Also sway bar mounts/links, bushings its all up to you.

If you want to stay low but firm best bet is Ireland stage 3, otherwise I'd say H+R sport.

[Tbolt]

So you have all the tools to do front and rear shocks/springs?

I have the bilstiens but i can't decide on springs yet.

Also, what else is recommended replacing while swapping this? i think my control arm bushings are in OK shape but I would have to look again.

It was nice talking to you on the phone last night. Most of my build info is in this thread:

325i vacuum line from brake booster, to bellows, and to throttle body

Get my car through VA safety/emissions :)

i got ways to get you a va/emissions...pm sent.

[EtaSport]

Well there is a possibility I may become a va inspector, but if I did it would probably be awhile from now.

Springs/shocks no problem, driving lessons-I still need a few more but I've definitely learned a lot about how to drive safe fast and smooth.

Hey man I am working on seeing if I can make this happen. April is going to be tough cause I am going to be busy, mainly with personal stuff. This Saturday I'm going to sterling for an interview. That next weekend I am trying to fit in installing a clutch on my e30, weekend after is the NASA race at Summit then I'm off to VIR the next weekend.

I can still do Sundays and may make an exception on the NASA race. Now you are looking to build a 2.7 seta? It is probably one of the easiest set-ups to put together and get all your parts compatible. m20b25 head, with m20b27 super eta bottom end, i intake, either i harness or super eta harness and i computer.

Where do you stand with it now? If you need to assemble the engine that can be done in a few hours then the electrical work is pretty simple and it should all be done in a day. Is the motor out of or in the car?

Sundays are fine for me, particularly after April 15.

I am doing the 2.7i/327i build with an Seta 2.7 bottom wnd and the m20b25 head. It is going in my 88 325 Seta, so I already have the motronic harness in place.

I THINK that I have all of the parts gathered, and the 2.7 is still in the car.

What I'd like to do is to be sure that I do everything possible to be sure that I have everything that we'll need, because I don't want to waste time on store runs, and there is no dealership close for any dealership-only parts.
Could I call you one day to let you know where I stand and you can tell me what else I might need?

Yea I keep forgetting about that. Let mr know when you would like to do it and I'll see what I can do or you. Looking forward things may be getting hectic but I can swing Sundays as well.

I sent you an email with more details. I'd like to do this in the next month. I can take leave M-F or we can do a weekend.
