I can't wait for updates and hope to see it around town!

Love all the details! That steering wheel is really cool.

Love this car!

Too bad about the 1JZ though. They cant make more than 276 HP

Thanks man! Super happy with it and lucky to find such a clean example

Love it! If I were ever to do up an E36, I'd be something like this (but with an N54 instead of a 1JZ )

N54 would be very cool no doubt.

1jz sounds beautiful though

YUS! I cant wait to see you really dig into this this over the winter!

I love everything about this.

Seats and steering wheel are fire.

[i_love_cars]

Yeah those seats are proper. I bet this thing will hoon pretty well. The welds on the half cage look decent too, hopefully it won't kill you in the event of a crash.

I had the cage made by Structure Fab and Design in West Allis and they did an amazing job. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs any metal work done

Smelt clutch driving the car around yesterday. Hit boost a few times, and nothing felt out of the ordinary. Clutch release point was perfect as always, so I was confused. 

Ended up losing the pedal randomly going about 10 mph when I tried to shift to second. Pedal stick to the floor and I have to pull it back up. No pressure. Can’t put car in gear with the car running. 

Opened bleed screw on the slave and pressed pedal and fluid shot out. (Master seems fine, still connected to pedal, no leaks)

Took slave off and checked the pressure on the rod. Rod is super hard to push in, nothing like my other bad slave in my 323 from last winter. Clamped it shut and tried pressing the pedal and the pedal was rock solid. No leaks on the slave. (Assuming slave is not a problem) 

Tried pushing fork in with screwdriver and it still has pressure but is sitting high up out of place. 

I’m assuming the clutch pivot pin is completely worn out of failed in someway. Going to take tranny out next weekend. Still confused on why I got the clutch smell, and I find it weird for my clutch to feel fantastic and then to lose my pedal randomly. 

In good news my new part should be here this week and you have to lower the tranny for it so I can knock two stones out in one day. Hope it’s just the pivot pin, ordering a stainless one today from bimmerworld.

VVTi kicked in.

hope its simple

BMW on a trailer, name a more iconic duo.

I kid, but welcome to the club of those with clutch issues here this year.

Might as well replace all the easy stuff in the trans while you’ve got it out.

[Partiallypurple]

This ones only 50% bmw and I still have to have to have the tow truck on speed dial

[Jdesign]

99% Sure it's that pivot pin. 

Am I the only one that finds it odd that the 50% BMW is causing issues and not the 50% Toyota?

It's an easy fix, but time consuming.

[Partiallypurple]

Well this thing is beautiful.... Cannot wait to money shift and blow my motor. Jk, super excited. Quality is amazing, I’ve been wanting one of these for a very long time. 

I’m really trying to not cut any corners in this interior. The cockpit of the car is where you spend all of your time, and it’s very important that it’s done right. It’s all about the driving experience! I feel that so many people overlook the interior of a car and only focus on the exterior. I want to love driving my car as much as I love looking at it

[Partiallypurple]

Also I guess it’s important that the car moves too. Stainless pivot pin came as well today. Trans coming out Saturday and hopefully it will be ready to hit the road with the shifter installed and all my clutch issues fixed by Sunday night

After feeling a self centering shifter, I need one.
