Yeah I recall! You get that in? Im still looking for those poly bushings you had if you still had them. Negative on the LS, while it might have been way cheaper im still a huge OEM/Straight 6 fan and couldn't find the courage to alter the car in that fashion. I still have to get that car out of that POS garage and down to my hangar... that should be fun.
Not in yet, working on fixing and refreshing a few things on the car before the motor goes in. Still got the bushings, shoot me a message and we can discuss bidness.

In for S52 swap progress posts. Do you have a timeline for that? Would be an awesome addition to see at the E30 picnic in May

No idea. As always the delicate balance of time and money. I can try to bust ass to make it happen... it’s not unrealistic, just keep pushing me along! Hahaha

No adapters. Its for real.
Awesome! What did you use on the rear?
-
z3 components
Nice, I have been thinking of selling my setup (but don't own any 4x100 wheels so I want to stay 5 lug) and have been considering switching to some sort of e36 m3 combination. Have you noticed any brake bias or handling differences from stock geometry/brakes?
-
Well considering the engine isnt in the car and its basically just a roller I have no opinions to share. Other than the brakes are massive and according to everything I've read the parts I've used are the best set up for the e30 in regards to handling improvement (late e36 m3 control arms up front)

Fair enough haha, it didn't click in my head that the empty engine bay pic went along with the suspension swap, I'm definitely interested to hear how you like it once it's on the road!
-
haha yeah. So am I! I didnt make much progress this summer due to work travel but Ill hopefully continue to make progress now. At this point im cleaning up the bay, Im going to tuck as much as I can and clean it up. Probably just paint the bay black and be on my way to engine install.
-
Alot of behind the scenes progress so to speak as far as acquiring information and components for my harness. I've got the harness out of the donor car, ill be working on getting that crossed over to utilize the C101 to mate to the chassis of the 86 e and deleting whatever isn't necessary. Also a ton of time spent cleaning up the engine and bay, deleting brackets for a mild wire tuck and chipping off and wire wheeling 20 years of crusties off the S52 cast block. Also still have to swap the pan and sump, build a dipstick with CCV and safety wire the oil pump gear on.
Im working on a complete list of things that have yet to be done so I can logically go about completing them so I don't have to back track! Ill get my list together and post it up so if you guys can help me out that way that would be awesome!!
-
Also what is this bracket for on the drivers side frame rail!?! I don't recall removing anything useful from there and I'm having a hard time seeing it in other e30 bay pictures and it doesn't exist on my 1991... you can also see it in the last picture I just posted above... this picture below is NOT mine. Not sure what hes doing but its the only thing ive found that references this bracket! Just want to know before I hack it off for my tuck!
-
It looks as if the bracket was used as a grounding point. Found this pic off a thread on r3v that shows a ground strap hanging from there.

Thanks Mike! Did you end up grounding that there on your swap or going elsewhere?
-
There is frequently a ground point on the opposite frame rail.
Just a stud chilling out with a bit of a flat plate behind it.Mods should move this thread to the build thread area.
