WIBIMMERS

Little update.. Since the s54 ofh does not have tabs to mount the power steering reservoir my brother made one that we ended up mounting by the driver side motor mount arm.

We ended up converting the lines to -6an and instead of using the stock ps cooler I bought an auto trans heat sink and mounted that in front of the steering rack. After a couple trips to behling I everything I need to make my oil cooler lines, Vanos line, and power steering lines. We shaved the top of the core support so there was a decent mounting point for the oil cooler. 

And I had my buddy that painted the engine bay paint the brake booster as well. 

But it there’s quite a bit more to do to make the euro district deadline.

After getting my car done and on the road at 1:30am Friday morning, my car ended up making it to euro district with no major problems. There were something that were half finished and not done that I wanted to be done so my car will be going back into the shop to get finished up!  

Here are some pictures that I’ve found from the show that people have taken. 

The engine is finally painted. It took longer than I wanted to but that’s because we ran out of propane and and when that happened I lost ambition. Haha. My buddy came out to my shop and put the primer down Saturday night. Then came out tonight to lay down base and clear. 

Also since my last I got the spacers to space out my power steering pump. 

I also put new seal on the vanos pistons and put the anti rattle kit in. I don’t have any pictures of the process as my phone died when I started. 

Now when @Tkuhn has time he will be doing the wire tuck.

I haven’t had much ambition with this thing in the last couple months. But I did do a couple things with it. In may I put the car back to coilovers. I went back to the Isc coilovers that were on my car before I went on air. Emailed Isc for replacement parts so I could adjust ride height in the front again as one on the fronts were seized from driving on them in winter years ago. 

Over the 4th of July break I deleted the ccv and now running a radium engineering catch can. I have the car it’s first good wash since last year.  

Also I ended up trading my Volk III wheels for a set of BBS MK Motorsport mk2 wheels. They are 18x8.5 et13 with 235/40 up front and 18x10 et20 with 265/35 in the rear. The tires rub pretty bad in the rear so my current plan is to order some 215/40 tires for the front and use the current front tires for the rear. Once I get the tires situation done I’ll mess with the camber a bit to make them actually fit decent. 

Hopefully I can get the tires before ls brewhaus and get the car there!

Since mid-summer of last year I've been gathering parts for air ride. (Yea it took a while. Buying e30 stuff gets in the way. Haha) I've had the struts since summer and I just ordered my management. I have air lift performance struts and will be using switchspeed management.

Just a little update..

Snap powder coated my centers for me and I had Rad-fab polish my lips for me. I also took of my front end for my maintenance work. I also have my hood and trunk lid on I just got to get the alignment better. 

Falling a bit behind schedule, but I got the engine back in this weekend! 

I’m back down to one job so I’ll have time during the week after work to work on it.

The other week I pull the engine out of the e46.

This past week end I started to shave and stitch weld the engine bay.  Welding should start this weekend. 

Over the weekend some people went up by Joel(Jody, Mr. DIV, etc.) and we cut oout the DIV stickers and put the trophies together.

If you didn't already know this is this years design on the shirts and stickers. The normal shield stickers, midwest stickers and DIV stickers are available as well. In other words make sure you bring a little spending money. 

And also pre-reg cars be there between 1pm and 2pm. We will not be letting non pre-reg cars in at this time! Non pre-reg cars will start coming in at 2pm.

Nice Setup. If I had an E46 I woud be all over it! GLWS!

Maybe add some pics of your car aired out so the people can see what awesome looks like??

Good idea!

so i got some pictures. 

this is the e46 at dubs in the valley this past year

this is the e30 i just picked up 

and these are going to be going on the e30

I should be there with a couple other aokshop cars!

I’m putting my air suspension and management up for sale. I have Air Lift Performance front and rear kits, accuair switchspeed management, Zaetech digiguage, Air Lift 5 Gallon tank, and two viair 444c compressors. This is pretty much a drop in setup. All you would need to do for wiring is hook up the constant power, switched power, and ground and run the controller and gauge cables. I have it posted for $2500 on Facebook and other forums  but wibimmer price $2200. 

I would also sell just the bags if anyone would be interested in just those. 

Here are some better pictures of the rust on the firewall.

There is two rust hole in the floor pans of the car. One being right where your heel would be in front of the gas pedal and the other being right next to a plug in the floor on the passenger side.

And I picked up some e36 front struts yesterday. I got them in and test fitted one of the rs's.

Bump

It'll all be under the frame that the air tank is on top of. So I'll still be able to have a spare tire!

Ordered spacers for the front earlier this week and they have arrived today! Put them on and this is how they fit now. The rear still needs work. But I don't have the time at the moment for that.

Since my last post I got some more work done. I installed the M3 steering wheel, re-setup the management board for my air ride, rebuilt the disa valve with the German auto solutions kit, stained the wood for my trunk setup (finally), and installed a new csf aluminum radiator. I recently ordered the E60 shift lever, uuc dssr, and mishimoto aluminum expansion tank. I have a few more things to order but I should have plenty of time to drive it before I make the trip down for The Euro District.
