Why does your intake face forward? Just wondering. PS I want this thing lol

so awesome. how did you raise it? also, it would look killer with a roof rack for the shovel, spare, gas can etc. yakima makes an 'axe bracket' that would be perfect for the shovel.

I have been thinking about welding something up for a roof rack, and then just welding it to the car. Low cost is key with this car.
The rear is using e36 springs and shocks, no sway bar (this was critical to getting it high enough)
The front is on vert springs, and should have strut spacers soon. Spacers will bring the front up another 1.25"
One of the front springs is still stock, and the pictures make it obvious. Drivers side is still stock. Darn ball joints didn't want to separate with out destruction.
I need to get a pile of parts for the front suspension, e46 control arms, longer tie rod ends, and new struts. -

Finally ordered the bottom end parts for the M52.
Should be getting the motor for the "nicer" car back together soon! -

There is finally a motor in my car.
Brake fluid res. is in the way.Yup
-
I was using an IX master cylinder and the stock IX brake fluid res. The throttle boot for the e36 has the IAC hose running into the underside of it, right where the fluid res. is.
e21/2002 res. incoming. -
That should give you a frame of reference. (older picture) -
e34 m60 cars have a remove res setup too if parts would be cheaper?
Dan
-
That's an odd booster for a swap???
I believe I have a Porsche one on my car
-
IX Booster isn't quite as common, probably why you haven't seen it too frequently.
Parts were pretty cheap, for the res., grommets, and fittings for the master it was about $40 shipped. -
Probably not as common because it clearly has some clearance issues Clarence
-
Not worried about the motor torquing into the bottle?
