‘91 E30

Took first in XSB on my final run and 14/90 on raw time. Having good suspension is night and day. The CR1s were awesome once they had some temp.
its a 2 day event so we will see how it goes tomorrow. New course layout to keep things exciting.

course was identical to the one in the spring - the start and finish were in the same spots lol.In the spring I drove the evo and went 61.2, this event I went 62.0 - super happy with how this car is setup now

More pics from USAIR.
dyno day this Saturday, interested to see what this car makes before plopping the s52 in it

plopping the s52 in it

Dyno day got cancelled lol

Almost ready to drop the m52.
Need to remove: Fuel lines, heater core hoses & front suspension (to make it easier to manage on a jack)
-
Dropping it out of the bottom Is the way to go
ABS pump is already gone, as well as all the front brake lines. Working on getting the bias adjuster mounted and remote cable ran.
quick bend of the rear line gets the angle right for the cable to run to an already existing grommet in the firewall next to the main fuse box harness
-
Interior stuff is all done, remote Knob used the area for the fog lights (which Are being removed for the OEM “delete” panels)
hoping I won’t have to touch interior stuff anymore for this chapter (wideband is already routed, just not connected to anything)made a quick “bracket” for the bias adjuster out of some scrap 3/4” alum square tubing.
removed the factory heat shield for the exhaust (firewall area, still running the one in the tunnel) as it was pretty disgusting and had seen better days.
Eventually I’ll add some DEI stuff if needed. Also removed the factory sound deadening thing from the firewall/tunnel. After removing the flanged plastic nuts the stuff basically fell apart as I removed it. It was also gross. Have seen rot behind these before on other cars, but luckily this car has never seen winter. Removed all the studs with an angle grinder as well.
should have a lot more room to access trans stuff now if I need to.next up is to finish making hardlines to go from master to bias valve and master to front brakes. Once that’s done I can start on the engine stuff
-
Master to bias line done for rear brakes
-
Drivers side front brake line good to go, passenger line will be the longest run from the T
might even be able to use the stock brake line metal clip things with a little finesse
-
Hardlines are finished
Next up is s52 stuff I think

Solid lifter conversion is about 99.9% done. Cams were in and out a bunch while setting lash.
this kit uses the stock lifter/hydraulic adjuster, but the hydraulic adjuster is basically gutted and you use shims that are .010” and .008” thicknessstock adjuster removed from lifter
dropping in shims
and back in the trays
still using the stock s52 cams for now

So happy you finished this. What's next? Putting everything else on?
Timing chains/timing cover/time it/oil pan/gaskets etc etc etc
