Gotcha. 2" and 3" lips?

2.5 and 3

Undercoated my transmission tunnel and the underside of my car.



Test fitted a rear Breyton, didn't do the fronts since I don't have the fenders on anyways. Rear fits like a dream with minimal work to be done on the quarters.





My buddy really hooked me up on the motor. Put 9 hours into the motor reassembly and cleaning etc.. and charged me only 4 hours labor at half his shop rate.





Installed the short shifter and test fitted the clutch master cylinder.





Clutch kit is on order as well as Poly E36 mounts. Once those are in gonna start assembling them and drop the motor in for a test fit and do any other necessary modification. Like tilting the ABS unit and swiveling the brake lines to miss the headers. Work on the lips to get them polished should be starting at some point as well.

Relocated my fuel filter so I can stop blowing through them from bottoming out. Pic is of the bracket, I have since installed the filter. No lines yet though.



E36 mounts installed. Much taller than the e30 mounts and a better color.



AND



Pan sits just above the subframe so I can now ride at my current height with no issues. Hopefully.

Just bought 4 new lines and some fittings so I can reroute these lines since the headers will not fit otherwise.



Harness arrived as well.



Lips are back from polish, painted the bolts and assembled them hand tight till I seal them up and torque the bolts down.



Front fitment is tight.



Also installed the driveshaft. Getting closer to completion but still plenty left to do. Much more $$$ to spend and so little time lol.

That or YOU"RE THE WOMAN. <3

Thanks babe

Went as far as I could with the harness today. Waiting on 3G alternator, ignition coil, MAF and intake. After that I believe it's just fluids and I can crank this thing over. Unless I need a throttle cable to do that as well. In which case you can add throttle cable to that as well.

Torqued down 3 of the wheels. Too tired and blisters are coming so I stopped. Gonna finish the last wheel tomorrow and seal them up.

Decided these are my stancey wheels and for now the car isn't gonna get drifted or auto-x'd yet. That will probably come next summer after I can pick up a decent steering wheel, seats, cage, and a lighter set of wheels I can beat on.
So I will be running 205/40 nankang NS-1 tires front and rear because they are cheap AF and I'm gonna burn through sets like you can't believe.
