Everything here is getting pulled from Stanceworks. Felt I should put the build up here as well. The plan at the start was to run a NA M20 with a different cam and other odds and ends. Then I decided a turbo would be more fun and have been throwing money at that since.
Hello all,
I have a 1976 BMW 2002 Sahara. Plans for the year are to lower the car, new engine and transmission and all new suspension. The interior of the car is already in really good shape so that is going to stay the same. Hopefully will be able to finish everything this summer while school is out.
Already done:
BMW 14" Basketweaves
Air dam and euro bumper
Recaros / new interior
Wilwood Brakes
Steel Brake Lines
Sway bars
Plans:
Engine: M20B27I, 36b injectors
Turbo: Garrett GT3071R, Tial 38mm Wastegate
Transmission: Getrag 260
Suspension: Groundcontrol coilovers, urethane bushings, ST anti-sway bars
Exhaust: Magnaflow exhaust
Lights: New headlights and euro turn signals
Brakes: Wilwood 4 piston rear brakes
Chip: W.A.R Chip and MAF conversion
Few photos from a BMW meet:
Update:
Struts sent out to be converted
Picked up M20B27i
Upgrading rear brakes to 4 piston Wilwood discs

Update:
Tearing down the engine and getting stuff sent out to be powder coated, car is getting closer to receiving the engine
Myster-e 274 Cam
Everything other than the reservoir looks like hell
Started removing the oil and debris from the engine today:
Random photo:
Update: Received my shorty headers from IE, motor mounts are in from Sin City BMW. Block is nearing completion and getting painted. Going to be sending out my engine cover and intake to Renewed Finishes to be powder coated in silver with BMW in black. Some photos:
So I am not rev limited at 4500
Will be using urethane bushings from Ireland Engineering
Stripping down:
Headers Mocked up
Getting the head and intake manifold ready to be shipped to Renewed Finishes. Both are going to be painted silver
Some photos
Scrap except for flywheel which I am selling
Looks like hell
Sent out my valve cover and intake manifold out for powder coating and just got finished by Renewed Finishes. Look great, can't wait to get them back.
Received powder coated valve cover and intake manifold from Renewed Finishes today (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Renew...60775133986357) Came out great, here are some photos I took when I opened. More will be up soon.
So I received my coilovers from Ground Control. Going to get them mounted up later today.
Koni Shocks and Eibach Springs
Camber plate
Valve cover on
Old Bushing
Engine is finally done with paint and is ready for reassembly
Coilovers are on
Tore open the ecu to upgrade to the WAR Chip
So the plan for the car has changed, going to be running a Garret GT3076 turbo. Finally have the car back on the ground after adding coilovers and replacing all bushings with new urethane ones. Here are some photos on the ground for the first time in months.
New suspension
Teaser of what is to come:
Got my turbo, MLS head gasket, ARP Studs and urethane motor mounts today.
Some random photos.
Pulling engine
Aftermarket exhaust on the m10 hung to low so had to cut it off
Without the m10
Engine out
