Slow White, the E28

[jrcanes55]

Looks like shit.


Good job

Thanks lol. It shouldn't look to bad when it's done.

i think you should sell my that front lip before something kills it

Uhh no way. I love my Pfebba lip. It takes cones out with no issues

but are you cleaning the metal where you are welding before you weld? grinding, sandblasting or whatever your thing?

Yeah I clean it all up. I welded everything and then realized the polarity on the welder was wrong. That's why it's been so shitty.

it is very nice car, but dude u need WiseFab lockkit, to get that car steer well.

No thanks. I can't afford wisefab and the SLR kit is the same thing at a much better price.

thats awesome man! i love hat you had a harness on the comfort seats. you still probably slid all over the place on those lol. makes me want to build mine up this winter and drift next season

Oh god yes. Those seats sucked. The hardest part was staying in one place while transitioning. Now it's breeze. You should. If it's a 535 it should have no issues.

Anyways here are those videos. I get a little camera shy and as a result I spun out on both runs. But you get the idea. The car did amazing. I've had multiple pro-am drivers and friends take it out. They all love it.

Got me a GoPro for christmas. So naturally I went and bought a suction cup mount and did this.

[Khalil]

Brb checking my fucking thermostat … my shits running so fucking lean. Like 9mpg lean LOL.

Nice sliding man, E28s look dope sideways.

The ol wiper drift action

[jrcanes55]

I haven't updated this properly in a while. So I might as well do some stuff. Been up to a little in the last few months. Got both my seats in which is nice and I did another drift event. Which was nice. As of right now I have a broken, like reallllllyyy broken diff mount and I'm pretty sure my LSD's days are nearing an end. But that's ok now that it's not my daily. Luckily I picked this up the other day.

2004 330i 6 speed. Got a great deal at work and couldn't pass it up. It's stock and comfy and warm and doesnt make my ears bleed and mine spine rattle everywhere I go.



I'm going to take it to cars and coffee Cary tomorrow. No one it going to look at it.



Anyways. This is how I've been rolling around in the e28.



And this is the mess I'm currently dealing with. On a positive note I can now solder extremely well.



Got MS2 and I'm currently in the assembly process. It's a lot of work. But after this I shouldn't have anymore electrical issues.

Progress





I washed my car for the first time in 4 months



It still looks terrible.

Here is a pic from the drift event.

Shortly after I started having issues with my brand new walbro 255





It's nice, i guess. It makes a lot of noise and the car feels no faster. But hey, at least it runs.

Here are some random pictures.



Got both seats in. Looks baller. ^^^^



Swag



I wish it was that low. But sadly the cracked oil pan would most likely get ripped off

750il brakes







It slows down fast kinda maybe. I got nicer pads so that helps too. I need new lines. The pedal is spongey but it's great for heel-toeing

[jrcanes55]

So my e46 is faster than my e28 -____-
I **** modern fuel injection.

[Miles.]

Nice build, but please rip that front spoiler off you wont regret it.

[jrcanes55]

So it looks like my photobucket is maxed out..

Anyways, I went out to piedmont drfit this weekend and here are some videos. Car did an awesome job.

[jrcanes55]

So you think your car is wide?













Also finished my straight pipe and added the wideband bung





Thinned my front harness it's down to two wires just for headlights. I now also have like 4 less fuses and two less relays, less to go wrong.

[Greg|H]

Those fenders are aggressive! Are you flaring the rears out too?

[Fetka]

Flipped Style 5's ? Fcuk yes.
This looks very nice and promising! Good luck.

[epearce]

Going wide in the rear as well?
