E28 SETA Build

[YoungCR]

Second the E34 bumpers, im not paying for euro bumpers

[RamRod E28]

Yes, the front bumper looks dead sexy on these cars the rear im still trying to decide what to do...

[YoungCR]

I agree, rear bumper gives the E28 a donk.

Well I'm back from Colarado for a few days so I took the liberty of taking a few pics with my garbage phone... ENJOY!!!

Before I left I met up with these clowns...

And some Just got back e28 pornog...

That's all I got for now... Now to get a new radiator for the miata (the stock rad didnt like multiple burnouts I was doing last night...)

[RamRod E28]

I was just digging through my photosukit and stumbled across a pic of the e28 the day I bought it!

Why must every performance company shit on the e28 parts wise? I kinda would like to maybe upgrade some of the bushings in my car over oe.... Any suggestions?

I am in the same boat. OE RSB are cheap and the poly are over twice as much but supposedly easy to install over the OE. I am on the fence on which way to go.

[YoungCR]

Based on on doing the E34 last weekend, save your pennies and get all poly. Paying more to never have to do it seems very justified in my mind.

I'll say this. the E34 rear bumper makes the back of an E28 look really clean. The cost of euro's is stupid. $1500 for a full euro bumper setup, NO thanks. Go E34! The rears is easy to do.

Looks good. Are you still planning on snail stuff?

Im not allowed to comment on the spoiler now but I will be watching you.

I like the spoilers on the back of these.  It feels like the back slowly drops off otherwise and the spoiler breaks it up a bit.

I vote option B so then I can have a super eta swap! Congrats again on the new job man, now you get to learn how once you have money you won't have time lol.

[YoungCR]

Well then more time for you to pull the seta for me

[RamRod E28]

Well I'm Back!!! Lots of updates now and more to come...

First off, I ordered a ton of parts for the e28...

OE air filter

PCV breather hose

New intake elbow

Spark Plugs 

Cap and Rotor

Lower Control Arms

Thrust Arms

All new say bar links

Rear subframe mounts

Center Link

Inner and outer tie rods 

New Idler arm with bushing

While I was waiting on parts to show up I stripped the beige carpet out that weighed a ton in the and have been cleaning any bits of rust in the floor (Gotta say I'm impressed for a 31 year old WI car!) All in the pursuit of weight reduction YO! I'm putting black carpet in from MKOEPP That will save me close to 50lbs and itll get me closer to a full black interior! (Anyone have black e28 door cards???) And I painted all the lower dash sections black to match the dash as well.

ADD kicked in YO

While still waiting on steering parts, this happened...

Couldn't ask for better fitment
