UPDATE: JULY 13, 2019
Wow, I don't remember where I left off.
Here's the car at the StanceWorks meet
Soon after my last post, I replaced the rear end with adjustable trailing arms from my old car. I bought a 3.64LSD from a guy I know that was taken off of his e30. I resealed the diff and replaced the cover. Topped it off with new redline fluid and finished the job with new axles.
I took the fogs off and put on deletes. Put these cool non-transparent vinyl stickers on the high beams.
Tossed my old BBS RS's on-
Then I started to hate the wide wheels so I tossed my style 5's back on with new rubber
As this was going on, I re-did my rear RS wheels - 16x11.5 to 16x9. 4 inch lips to 2 inch lips. 7 inch barrels to 6.5 inch barrels. Never got around to putting the tires on LOL.
Lastly, I got my tan rear seats off my 528e and painted them blue since my current blue seats were garbage. As well as a brand new radio that kicks ass in the car.
The major progress on this car was my front subframe.
There was sort of this uneasy shake on my car that I always felt. I got so fed up that I decided to dig deeper. The results of my discoveries were quite bleh.
My front subframe had a huge hole.
Then I see this.
And this...
Thankfully I had a front subframe from my old euro spec e24, so I got the Ed Steering bracket welded on, and the subframe painted.
I tossed it on, then I got iffy of my front suspension so while I was there I replaced the entire front suspension assembly. As well as my torn up Guibo.
The car handled like a beauty and my god I loved it. Somewhere in this story, I got a Garagistic Short Shifter and taught my gf how to drive my car.
After two weeks, the car took a dump.
So, as of today, I'm still currently car less. About almost a month ago, my car stopped running when 100 degrees hit here in Southern California. I attempted to leave my apartment when the car wouldn't run for unexplainable reasons. The car gave no indication of failure what so ever. At the time, I was leaving to Hawaii for nine days nearly a week before this, so I got nervous. I didn't want to leave my car here so I trailered it back to my parents house to avoid getting street sweeping tickets.
As I dug into the car I found lots of flaws in the system. First, the inline fuel pump went out so I replaced that as well as the filter on the street before I towed it. My battery was drained so I walked to AutoZone, carrying my battery in my hands. AutoZone is actually down the street. My battery was nearly dead.
Car still didn't start now, but I was getting fuel and I also had no air leaks. So, vacation time was close so I brought the car home while I was away.
When I got back from my trip, I noticed my reference sensor and speed sensor were actually broken too. After, I replaced those. THEN, my battery was completely dead again even though I unplugged it while I was gone. Come to find out, the battery's core was completely done. There went another $100-$150 dollars, ugh.
I got bored so I tossed a new clutch fan on the car to help the idling heat.
I got fed up and since I had more resources at home, I diagnosed the car. I came to find out now the car has no spark.
That is where I am currently.
