Slow White, the E28

[jrcanes55]

Well dudes haven't updated in forever. Been getting a lot of shit done. Don't really have very many pictures because I've been so busy prepping for streetwise that I didn't have time. Basically short list of what got done.

Z3 short shifter
AC delete
Picked up some drift spares
New belts
Running distilled water
Gutted the trunk and took the back seats out.
Fixed my battery tie down
Got my euro trim on then it fell off and I just bought another set today.
Got my poly upper and lower control arms in
Annnddddddd.......

Got my BC coilovers on the night before the event and was out on track the next day.

Now time for a few pics.


Now with BCs









This thing was a beast drifting. I was linking the whole track in my second session. It was so awesome. I'm doing another event at the end of next month. I have some more pictures and a video i'll try and post. I;m currently having issues with photobucket.

It was a 3.73 out of an e30. You jus swap the back casing and the output flanges and its a direct bolt in. Took me about. 3.5 hours. I could do it again in 2.

Looks good man! i live in charlotte i remember that random snow day haha

[fpsthomas]

That m 30 screams like a beast :p

[notsolow]

Very nice man! I bet it was a blast!

[jrcanes55]

So this happened today. I got a 3.73 LSD and let my friend take it out at streetwise drift today. Still on cut springs lol.



Enjoy. I was really surprised at how well it did. He linked the whole track all three runs.

What are you going to do about the granny gears? Do I see boost in your near future?

[jrcanes55]

Wow man. Just wow. Didnt have time to read through the whole thread but u can bet I will. Your e28 is awesome. I'm in the durham area too. We will have to meet up because I need to see how those bc coils ride. Awesome e28, I can only hope mine turns out half as good as this.

Haha thanks man! I'm sure we could meet up one day when I'm back in Chapel Hill.

I said I wasn't gonna update but I remembered this. This happened after the Korman meet. I'm racing an e90 325i with a chip and headers. I pulled away in second. But the damn granny gears on this car left me hanging dry as soon as I hit third. (That'll be fixed this week )

Second race is the best.

Well guys here is probably my last update for a while. Car is going under the knife big time before Sowo. I'm going to list off everything i'm hoping to get done before then. It's gonna be a lot of work.

This is the goal.

Get BC coilovers installed. (I ordered them yesterday) 500# front 450# rear spring rates. For $1050 shipped you can't beat it.
New motor mounts
New trans mounts
New diff bushings
New front upper control arm bushings
New front lower control arm bushings
New rear sub-frame bushings
New steering coupler
New Guibo
New 205/40 R18 Nankangs all around

Exterior is undisclosed
Interior is undisclosed

I have a few things laying around that still need to go on.

Then all that will be left to do is get my ride height set up and get it aligned.

It seems like a lot but it really shouldn't be. I can't wait to get this car handling like a real car and not a boat.

Here's how the car is sitting as of today. It's raised up all the way in the rear. I'm trying to save what's left of my suspension. Every shock is blown and the back right spring hat retaining clip has about had it. It likes to fall off when I hit big bumps.



Here's how it will sit for a while. The front tires are shot. Rears are getting down there too. I'm realizing now that the one thing the PO never took care of was the suspension. All the bushings are shot.



And one shot from the show. I was the first one there. I don't think old people like my car very much.



side skirt falling off



And the skirt that came off. It is now back on.



Lots to do and not a lot of time. Here we go!

Also for those going to Sowo I started a Classic BMW meet. There are a ton of people coming already. So If you're bringing your bimmer stop by! Should be a great time!

[jrcanes55]

This is now updated with good pics. Would have taken a real shoot but the skirt on the other side had to come off at the show today. the tape didn't get a good bond.















and the other side that came off. For comparison.
