Car is on jackstands and ready to part with it OEM suspension. I’ve received almost my complete order from Bimmerworld. Waiting on the springs, camber plates, sways and rear subframe bushings.

She has a play date with a semi-local e30 specialist. I still need to complete the transmission swap and pick up a LSD diff.

I’ve spent the past week further preparing the interior for the cage, removing sound deadening and fussing with the wiring. Seems that over it’s years more than one person put in more than one stereo and alarm.

I am scheduled for HPDE 3 at Hyperfest this year. I didn’t get to run as many events last year as I would have liked, but I am still progressing well. Hope to be on track soon.

Target date for the e30 to be on track is VIR North Course, target date for Comp lic. is by the VIR opener next year. :slight_smile:

Tom,
do you have your parts lined up for the tranny swap?

Hi Sean,

Yes. I had an entire 325is lined up as a donor. Motor, trans and diff. Have a backup donor to the donor too :slight_smile:

good deal…don’t forget the driveshaft and the clutch master cylinder and that hard steel line that connects the clutch master to the slave…I am soon to embark on this job myself.

Yep- thank you. The shop has a lot of experience with the swaps. The shop that did a lot of the work on the MB recommended this place. They are supposed to be very good.

I decided to have this done because of the variance and quantity of little things that must be done even though there are several comprehensive write ups on it online. Not enough time in the days between this and work.

I have a place where I can do the work myself so I am going to do it that way. I really need to get started on that…the parts pile is nearly complete.
