88 BMW E30 325is LSX/T56 Turbo Build
#82
Made some progress on the car...
Finished up the diff rebuild and flange adapter plate.
I will clearance the subframe some and weld another plate across the bottom.
Here's the 5" exhaust vs my old 3" hahaha
Worked some on my crossover setup too
Front brakes showed up today, still need rotors.
I saw this picture online comparing gen 4 bottom end to gen 3 and I quickly decided to swap in the aluminum 5.3 I have.
Here's how it looks so far with the catch can in the corner too.
Next up I'm building the trans and setting up a trans pump to keep the gears cool. Still need to order a driveshaft, front hubs/rotors, and small things.

Thanks! Just got all my 5 lug and brake parts on. Still need to finalize the caliper bracket and get proper quality rotors. Also ordered a set of work equips redrilled to 5x120 and the centerbore enlarged to 72.5mm. Next step is building the trans with a Viper main shaft too, if I can manage to find one not looking to good so far.

I saw this project '88 M3 LSx for sale and thought I'd share. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5075978774.html Anyone's here?
Some things look nicely done. I don't like the dash abomination. @ $35k it seems rather high, though I know the authentic E30 M3s are a lot of $, now.

Haven't posted much because I've been buttoning up my e28.
That car is running well 14psi no issues all fun.
For the e30 I got a heckblende from a friend for cheap.
I like how it looks, and plan on lightly smoking the tail lights and heckblende mhw style.
My brother got me pads and rotors for the front and I put in my old camber plates off the e28. Painted the calipers yellow.
Finished up mounting fuel cell and pumps/filter and wiring.
Started mounting my diff, need to finish it this weekend.
Ordered lips for the work equips, need to finish rebuilding t56 and order a driveshaft.
