CAtuned is simply amazing, can't wait to see another build of such high quality

[catuned]

Thank you for all the kind words and great feedback.
Update: Coilovers on the front got welded up. Coming together. Just been rather busy in the shop with customer work and havent had the time to do as much as I'd like.

Also a powder coated rear Differential Cover


Rod bearings came in for the S52

**** Also wanted to share some interesting stuff.
If you have a E28 and you want bigger better brakes in the Front with out spending $1800 on a BBK kit.
You can Get E36 M3 front Calipers with brackets(Or E34 M5 calipers with brackets but E34 M5 units do not have the //M on them).

The Setup:
1) The driver side E36 M3 Caliper with bracket bolts up on the passenger side.
2) The passenger side E36 M3 Caliper with bracket bolts up on the driver side.
It is a direct fit.
3) For rotors use the E34 M5 Rotors they are floating and 315MM. You can't use 15" rims with this tho.

Pictures from test fitting. Rotors shown in the pictures are stock e28 so ignore those.





I will update the thread when the Stoptech Rotors show up later in the week.

We have the coilovers installed. With new Hubs. And resprayed the Dust shields

[catuned]

Have the tires on the rear wheels. I think it looks good. Need to attach to the car as soon as the rear end assembly is back on.

Sway bars front & rear are installed

[catuned]

Engine is coming together (s52)


Then again we do have a perfectly good, Low miles S54 just sitting in the corner begging to be put in.
Hmm

You can see the difference between the stock rotors and the upgrade.
