I'm so anxious to see it all one color and on the ground. Love this build.

Just read through your build, looks great! Looking forward to seeing it at eurokracy this year, somehow I took Best BMW last year, but I don't think I will have a chance with your car there! Keep up the good work!

Thanks bud, I was checking out your car last year. I was right beside it when you went up on stage to collect your trophy. You deserved the win hands down.Originally posted by Dutchy View Post
Come by and see me at the STRASSE AUTOWERKS booth this year as my car will be there along side some other projects happening right now.

Good progress today. My order from BMW West Island arrived very early this morning luckily. Got to work instantly.
NOTE** For those who wish to use the same AUDI BRAKE BOOSTER & MC. The fittings are not the same as brake fittings. They are bigger so I recommend that you get the fittings that go to the MC.
Thankfully my car is at a AUDI/VW shop so those fittings are every where.
Passed and set my brake lines with the brand new T FITTINGS. I did the best to make it clean and tight as possible. Very happy with the outcome.
Installed the carrier bushing bracket.
Passed and zip tied my air ride lines.
Next is to make sure every thing is tight, install crossmember and drop the engine

Finally got the engine in!
Started by getting the cross member set in. Torqued every single bolt to spec. I was worried about having problems with the steering knuckle but I used a air gun to push it on the steering column.
Cut my copper fuel lines and placed rubber fuel hoses at the ends.
Then finally. It was time to put the motor where it belongs. I had to remove the harness off the engine.
NOTE** For those using AKG E30/M50 ENGINE MOUNTS. You may have problems aligning them up with the engine arms if you place them to the cross member like I did. I recommend leaving them loose on the member and let the weight the engine place them properly.

Minor work but got some stuff done today. I connected up all my rear brake lines at the joints and made sure they were tight. Also got my UUC SS clutch line hooked up to the slave on the transmission.
Worked on lengthening the wiring to place the diagnostic in original E30 location.
Z3M Shifter with the UUC DSSR installed and got the engine ground finished.
M52 headers clear the subframe and sway bar
AUDI A4 Brake booster clears the manifold without shaving off the fins.
