This will be my second attempt at a build thread on SW.
My last car was a mint 90' Miata with 60,000 miles on it. That got wrecked and sold to make way for the bimmer.
So anyway, my dad got this 91' 325ix practically for free from a trade when I was about 12 years old (6 years ago). It had about 140,000 miles on it. I wish I had pictures of it from way back then, but this is the first known picture of her.
He did a few things to it, new front lip, bilstein heavy duties, suspension parts, oil changes Got it sideways doing 80 after one of the rear tires tread ripped off!
At about 260,000 miles the oil pump went out. The motor wasn't destroyed but pretty messed up, he only ran it for about 2 minutes with no oil. This came at the perfect time (right after I wrecked the Miata)
I decided to make the motor beefy and stroke it.
Dont really have all that many pictures from the rebuild.....
^Z car in back
Basically got the all the internals, crank, cam, and chip from these guys (amazing cs btw) http://www.metricmechanic.com/
