Nice! That car is going to be sick with the new motor. Are you going to do something to cover the doors where you've cut them?
What are you asking for the diff?

This project is going to be way awesome man.

lots of work to do tomorrow to get ready for drifting sunday. building a bracket for the sparco, no time to do anything more than just weld a harness bar in between the factory rollover uprights, fixing a bad pos+ battery terminal, reattaching the frt bumper, reinstalling the dash and making the interior look decent.. and try and find a passenger seat in order to give rides.
whew

Hell yeah, tear it up tomorrow!
im curios how the short wheelbase will feel compared to the sedan?
you know, the odd thing is.. the z3, the i, is, and ti all use the same driveshaft...sooooo without measuring it i'd almost say the wheelbase is the same. i know the i, is and ti are the same wheelbase.
there will be video of today eventually. already seen a few pictures. i really like this car, but man does it chew thru tires. went thru 8 today, averaging about 5-6 full on never lift 2nd gear runs per pair. hard to believe it has an open diff too from the driving feel.

looking good
Any pics or video from the practice?.
a few camera phone pics i have seen so far, and a raw video somee friends shot that should be up in a day or so. i'll post all when i have it.
pretty sure the quick tire wear is due to the rear trailing arm setup in the z3.. not easily adjustable camber, and i have the back slammed as far as it can go, removed the sleeves on the coilover springs and got another 3/4" in the back. i cant get any further down now so i'll have to work on the rear strut towers next. any ideas on correcting the rear camber so i can keep tires on this thing?

E30's have a weld in kit for camber/toe in the rear. you might want to invest in those. Or go straight spherical bearing for the trailing arms.

thanks Yoshi, i'll look into one or the other and put it on my long list

NP. They make eccentric bushings but they don't do much. The other thing you can do is to get shorter subframe bushings. It raises the subframe to correct neg camber and toe in.
