      Looks period correct, gas price-wise

            The T56 that I had in the car started popping out of 3rd gear & reverse and grinding going into 3rd.  Time for a new trans!

            RPM transmission level VI was ordered and, while I'm in there, I popped in a Monster dual clutch in case I wanted to add more power.  Should be good up to 700hp/to.

            Also got a bolt in roll cage from Mitch.  (Thanks for delivery relay, Mitch & TJ!)  Powder coated it gloss black and bolted it in.

            Nitto NT01 rear tires mounted as well.  255s.

              Nice sir! Good call on lowering the subframe, saves a lot of choice words and maybe even contemplating lighting the whole thing on fire.

                Had Mike pop in new front oem wheel bearings.  We removed the oem grease and packed them with Redline's CV grease to help avoid premature wear. Replaced the leaking power steering pump as well.

                  145amp truck alternator going in! 

                  2 weeks ago I finally popped in the Drives Shaft Shop Level 5 700hp Axles.  They are not direct bolt in for this '89 325is. Had to remove the ABS ring and grind down a manufacturing "bump" on the inside of the hub for them to fit.  This involves mounting, removing the axle and grinding 10-ish times to get the clearance right. The output shafts are SUPER beefy.  Out of a 930 Porsche I think?

                  Cut off some more fenders to try and stop the tires rubbing.  I think it worked 💪

                    those axles look like they came off a pickup truck too!

                          Did a track day at Blackhawk last year.  Could only keep it in 4th gear to keep the RPMs down so oil wouldn't blow out of my catch cans. Still clipped 120mph on the straight and had a blast! On newly mounted R888s all around. 

                          Also, amassing parts! 🫣

                          Car is running great outside of a power steering leak.

                          Removed the ABS pump.
