Was looking for some body parts online and came across these guys https://www.absmotorsport.co.uk/ . I've never heard of them, and the only review I could find for them online was a not-so-good one from a mini forum a few years ago. Their website says they build parts for BTCC, and they list quite a...

Hey guys, haven't been here in a while and I'm not sure where to put this. If it's in the wrong place I'm sorry. I found an engine I want in Belfast, and I've been emailing the guy for a few weeks now. Time came to pay and all he will take is a bank transfer. I'm not sure if this is a common way of ...

e30.de has one as well, but I don't think it worked out very well for me. It's been so long since I was doing this. Worth a try though. vom Pin V8 Kabelfarbe Funktion Hinweise zum Adapterkabelbaum zum Pin am E30 1 weiss Ã–lniveau statisch mit 0,75 weiss 2 2 blau weiss Ã–lniveau dynamisch mit 0,75 bl...

I haven't been home yet to look for my old scribbles unfortunatly haha. When I was making them though I found an e36 c101 chart and compared it to my harness and they lined up almost perfectly. There were only like 3 or 4 wires that were different colors/in different locations. I can't seem to find ...

Don't have the pinouts with me but I think I still have them. You can use the auto loom fine, there are a few wires and the transmission computer that just won't be used.

It's on coilovers, I just find ways around the speed bumps

Once the m62 is in and running it's getting the supercharger that was planned for the m60. Then paint and bigger lips for the wheels.

What's up guys, I'm Byron from Rhode Island, USA. I've had a build thread going for a while over here and just got some new pictures of the car so figured I would post them up. The car is extremely dirty, the valence had a run in with a snow bank last winter and the engine has a rod knock, but it's ...

I wish I could say it was mine lol. Working in the industry has it's perks. Got my new m62 last week http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x96/e30spdfrk/the%20318/DSCI0862.jpg And I decided to convert the car to manual brakes. I've never been happy with the e32 brake booster setup; the bigger master cy...

Hehe, I think you can just about make them out in that pic actually ;) Clearance is great now, the pan sits about a half inch off the steering rack now and the lower pan is just barely higher than the subframe. The rack is almost completely out of the way now too, but an unfortunate side effect of r...

Heres mine. I used the front of an e32 740i auto shaft and had it welded to the splines and u-joint from a 89 325i. It bolts up like stock and is holding up great.

Hows it going Ben, sorry for the late reply. I put the supercharger on hold for a little while to get some other areas of the car up to top spec. I had been slacking on maintenance and started imagining noises, so I replaced all the rear end bushings, got new rear bearings, new axles, new steering r...

So I've just been collecting parts over the winter. I'm hopeing to have the supercharger done by mid April so I can get all the little issues that are bound to happen sorted before my 3000 mile trip to Georga for a show. Got an intercooler http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x96/e30spdfrk/the%20318/D...

Vortech V1- as it stands, it's too big to fit. Nothing a little inner fender massaging won't cure though. A V9 would have been a better choice but you can't beat free ;) Going to use the Miller WAR chip to tune it; I'm hoping for about 400whp. ESS's kit, running 7psi non-intercooled, makes 411 to th...

Bump, it's happening

Yeah, I've been trying to read as much of you three's thread as I can for all the little bits of info. I got my gauge to work by swapping the two wires in the black plug. Mounted up the 325e overflow too http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x96/e30spdfrk/the%20318/DSCI0725.jpg And a change of location...

Mine hits right on the seam between the upper and lower halves, so I can't even trim it around the bulb.

What did y'all do about getting the temperature gauge to work? I put in an e30 sender, but they only have one pin and the m60 harness has two. The m60 one didn't work.

Yup seeing is believing haha. Going to buy a new 325e bottle tomorrow. Willnz, how is the clearance to your headlight with the airbox? Mine hits the back of my bulb if I put the bottom half on. Drove the car tonight! The exhaust hits the transmission support hardcore when you get on it haha. Still h...

I'm always good for annoying questions haha. Brake linkage: Done I pretty much completely redesigned the brake linkage so it wouldn't bind up/bend again. I attribute the bending to the heim joint binding up on the bolt head where it attached to the pedal. I moved the mounting location for it to the ...

The 2 white wires go onto the solenoid. One has a terminal with a larger hole than the other one and is plain white, the other is white with a very fine black stripe. The white one goes to the 6mm terminal closest to the engine, the one with the black stripe goes to the 4mm terminal opposite. The r...

Thanks a bunch man. What time is it over there right now?

Got it to crank today, but that really means nothing other than I have power to the starter haha. I had the big red starter wire and the little red one (below) hooked up to power and nothing happened. Touched the white starter wire with the square end to the power block and the engine cranked, so I ...

Last few things are always the things you've forgotten :wink: Power and grounds: I have the big red starter wire hooked to power, are the two braided white-ish ones next to it power as well? And the black wire coming out of the harness right after the body plug boot, thats a ground, right? I've got ...

I'll preface this by saying that wiring will be the death of me. If it seems like I'm not getting any of what you're saying, it's probably because I'm not :) Also, my x20 pinouts didn't match the ones on e30.de at all. Most of the colors were the same as an e36 x50, so I went off that. Pin#8 C101 is...

D'oh I thought it was only 1 bar system. You sure it's 1.4? Proof of the manifolds. Steering shaft has to be moved but its easy on my car because I have an airbag. Alternator can stay in place. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x96/e30spdfrk/the%20318/DSCI0701.jpg Got a bunch of little shit done re...

Yeah mine come right off. I have to pull the steering shaft now with the flanges installed, but still not that big of a deal. Much easier than pulling the whole engine haha. Made my upper radiator hose today and got an idea for the pressure cap. Hose all made and marked for the new pressure cap. htt...

Unfortunatly I don't have much time haha. I'm helping organize and promote a show on August 1st, and I'm trying to have it running at least a few days before that so I can work out the bugs a bit- The show is 150 miles away. I'm not too happy with this brake setup, but it was the easiest route while...

Yeah, I don't really like the booster up front either but I didn't like the price of a tilton box either. And I like power brakes. If I had more time and money though, I'd probably go that route. Much cleaner and easier it seems. Linkage kicked my ass today. Worked on it pretty much all day and it's...

Picked up my driveshaft this morning http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x96/e30spdfrk/the%20318/DSCI0672.jpg went back to the shop to put it in and its too long :( Only by about half an inch, but its enough to make it put too much pressure on the guibo. It's the shops fault, as I told them exactly w...

Got the brake booster 66% in, just want to make another gusset. It doesn't flex at all as is now but I know theres going to be quite a bit of pressure on it so I want to be sure. Took some phone pics so this thread doesn't get too boring http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x96/e30spdfrk/the%20318/071...

Few updates, no pics. Both the manifolds are mocked up, just need to tig all the welds now then add flanges and build the rest of the exhaust. Making the drivers side fit around the steering colum was a pita. Finally found a V8 booster too. Went to a yard looking for a Geo Metro but saw they had a e...

Figured out my wiring issues I think. While looking for pinouts I found an e36 x20 plug diagram and 90% of the colors and locations were the same. The other 10% matched up with the e34 stuff thats on e30.de, so I think it's gonna work. Hopefully I'll be able to try it out tomorrow, wish me luck! win...

$1000 for manifolds is not worth it to me. I've spent barely over that on the whole swap so far haha. I got a lead on the little small-diameter bend pieces but parts alone would be close to $300 so I'm going to work some more on just modifying the factory ones. Most parts of them really aren't that ...

Worked on the exhaust manifolds for a few hours yesterday and got pretty much nowhere. I'm trying to modify the factory ones but they're dual-walled and nowhere close to fitting so it's being a pain. I've got a few other options (X5 4.0 manifolds, build log manifolds, buy a bunch of 90* bends and ma...

Just been doing little things to the car in the few hours after work. Shortened the shifter linkage, re-bent the clutch hose to fit the e39 slave, installed the radiator (still need to figure out where I'm going to run the upper hose), etc. Been working on the wiring but my harness seems to be diffe...

Yeah... about the wiring lol.

All the wires on my harness are different colors from the ones listed in the e30.de writeup. I guess it's because my harness is from an auto, but I'm not sure why that would matter. Time to do some searching.
