So...
Haven’t updated this for a while!
So engine bay is painted:
Started to fit it up:
Powdercoated the re-inforced subframe and refitted Z3 rack along with DanThe’s pipes and linkage:
Few more bits added:
Coilovers with adjustable topmounts fitted, you can also see the cab reinforcement panels I added:
Engine falls in:
Did some wiring:
What is the plug on the left for, do I need it?
Wiring covers almost fit, need a little more thinning on the wiring!
I had to move the clutch reservoir so that the strut brace fitted, also used it to mount the coil wiring:
Few more bits added:
Made a bracket for the airbox (need a new airbox, the outlet got cracked in storage)
Coilovers fitted with new back plates and refitted the WMS brakes and some new bullet nosed wheel studs. Arches also got a cleanup as well:
Then the diff fell apart:
Painted some bits:
Had a few new bits to put on/in:
Going back together:
Checked the backlash:
And back in place. The temp sender will feed the LCD dash when I finally get round to wiring it up!
And then today I did a little more cleaning underneath:
So this is where we stand at the moment. Sometimes I look and think it is almost there, other times I think how much I have left to do for it to be ”˜ready’ for me to take on track!
Updates might be a little more regular now as I would like to get it on track soon!
