Wankers

Also running this in the turbo. Got it from extreme automotive.

I used the walbro 255 high pressure or whatever it is previously, fits in the standard cradle with little modification. Theres a couple of different setups in E30's though. Some have a single intank high pressure pump which runs the whole deal, or others (mostly 318 I believe) run the two pump setup. A low pressure lift pump in the tank feeding a high pressure external pump. Either way, im running the 318 two pump setup with a M50 running 13psi boost, the fuel system keeps up fine - not sure it would have much more left in it though.

Any machine shop with a lathe can do it.

No where does it say the driver was drunk. He could have had 1 beer and they would say alcohol was involved

Hrrm ok, they looked a bit beefier than mine but I guess thats because of the larger profile. Im running 215/45/16, 12mm spacer in front to clear coil overs, no spacer in rear. heaps of room / no rubbing.

I think you have the same wheels as me. What size spacers / tyres are you running?

Haha. They're like 50 bucks from pick a part

I did think about replacing all the boots etc and tidying them up, but it'd be my luck that I'd snap one 2 weeks later. So I just cleaned it up and put some silicone around it, Will see what happens

CV joint is leaking grease, but not from the boot. Appears to be from the seam / joint where a steel cap is pressed on I guess. Never had one apart so I dont know. Anyone know what needs replacing / fixing to stop it from leaking? I'm been lazy here.... heh. Picture attatched.

Three for the engine, one for the trans.

Put the engine back in the hole, put the driveshaft in and the driveshaft universals were on a sh*t angle so had to modify the gearbox crossmember and raise the gearbox. Trimmed the alternator to clear the chassis rail: Dropped the engine back in the hole and mounted the oil filter: I removed some unneeded interior items and mounted the ECUs: Removed the diff and made sure it will spin both wheels: Not a lot of time left before I have to have this running, havent got much done over the last few weeks because of tech and work :/

Boxed in the chassis rails where I cut them.

Brake lines did, a bit ugly but this is the second time around after using some shitty fittings from apex that f**ked me off, so I didn't have much patience doing them again

I think I need a side exit pipe and more flames.

Flaaaange:

Can anyone explain why some people use road speed as the bottom axis instead of RPM? Seen it a few times and dont really see the point of it.

That would of been nice, but I'll be away from the car until the weekend :/ I get about 2 hours of work in after work before it gets too dark. I'm not sure it'll be road legal though, it's kinda nice been able to modify what I want how I want with out worrying what a certifier might think. Same

Today I decided against the E28 so I pulled the engine out and started mocking it up in the land rover instead: Ok not really, but I pulled the engine out so I can finish off everything in the engine bay like brake lines and stuff, I cut the frame rails to fit a larger radiator.

So tonight me and pete married the two drive shafts together. It had to be shortened and the front half of the E32 shaft welded to the E28 shaft, they are completely different. Not a lot of photos but, front half of E28 drive shaft was machine down so perfectly round and then parted off, front half of E32 shaft was measured and then parted off to length. The E32 shaft is larger in diameter so a bush was made that fitted the two together, then it was all welded together. The victims: Machining of the E28 shaft: E28 shaft compeleted: Parting off the E32 shaft to length: Driveshaft was completed, but didnt get any photos it was a bit dark, will post some tommorrow.

Already sorted that, had it running before it was installed in the car. Running standard ECU's

Cheers dude. Chur Thansk Just a project for the hell of it, not intending it to be road legal but I dont think it would be hard to keep legal if I decided to go that way. Wanted to do an E28 with m60 conversion after seeing this: But I came across the M70 cheapish and needed some thing to stick it in, so E28 it was.

Righto, its sunday again so a week since I picked up the car. Today I worked on relocating the brake master cylinder, I am doing away with the hydraulic booster setup and power steering. Im not sure how well this is gonna work, but I will be running no booster at all and most likely end up changing the pivot point on the brake pedal to increase leverage. The E28 has a whole bunch of linkages because the master cylinder is on the passengers side, I'm not sure if these linkages are 1:1 or what. So I'm just going to try the brakes like this at first and then modify it if need be (most likely need changing). So I removed all the linkages and un-needed crap and made up a plate that bolts to the pedal box to strengthen it up and something to work off: I machined a bit of old pipe so the master cylinder would sit up to it flush. Machined a shoulder on the pipe and cut a hole in some plate so it would sit inside it: Welded it up on both sides: Cut it to shape and welded some bolts in it: Mocked it up in the car before fully welding it, make sure it all worked properly and brake pedal moved freely: And the finished piece!
