Help choosing e36 parts from pelican parts

[BMRBOI 8]

Hi guys,

I will be putting a new engine into my 1992 e36 325i (non-vanos) within the next few months. I am currently gathering parts together to make life easier. I left my build list at work so i will post that tomorrow when i get the time.

The car im aiming to build will be a street car which i can take to the track.

I would like some advice/ help in choosing parts which i will require for my build. I am currently looking at buying m3 engine mounts, new tranny mounts and ali thermostat housing from pelican parts. If i was to purchase oil seals/ gaskets which ones are prone to leaking? Baring in mind shipping weight.

Cheers Niroy

Not engine parts but: Cross brace, Spacer Set for Rear Trailing Arm Bushings, basically renew any bushes that will tighten up the suspension.

Once your have your list together, I would check out Turner Motorsports, then email your list to Doug Mahar [dugmar@turnermotorsport.com] get a quote off him as I have found their shipping cost are the cheapest and fast as they use FedX (with no mark up), Pelican use UPS.

Thanks mate, yeah my suspension is my first stop! I have aimed at replacing most bushes i consider to be worn out or sloppy. Already i can notice the difference. In general i am using pelican parts mainly because of how cheap some of the parts are, also i would only be paying one shipping price.

Turner motorsport has so many things i wish i could have though!
