Just a minor update for today. I needed to fabricate a bracket to hold the E34 dipstick. Sheet metal and got to measuring, cutting. I know its not the prettiest thing in the world but it does the job. Also purchased a 97 M3 S5D 310 Transmission. 120 000KM on it. Looks mint. Turns nicely too.






Began the Fuel Rail Beauty Cover.. Sanded and taped off for the stripes.. More to come on the status on this cover. Thanks to MaxBell for the cover.

Last night I mounted two of tires on my wheels.. 195/45/16 on the 7.5s.. SDRIVES..
Not looking to go for stretch, just want good tires





M3 Steering rack purchased ---


Finally finished the Fuel Rail Beauty Cover.. I think it came out pretty top notch



In the mail came the M3 Wire Harness covers from Dave at MARKERT MOTOR WORKS



This weekend, I'm passing a order for a M3 Sachs Clutch Kit and a F1 FLYWHEEL.. I've read good things about it so hopefully it'll hold up!
More updates to follow!

what did you use to spray the fuel rail cover and the manifold?!?

[mtlbloodshot]

I used a spray paint called.. color one.. It's sold at local Rona here in Montreal, not sure if every Rona has it tho. It's amazing honestly.Flat black and drys quickly.

After a week of waiting, the brown truck brought a nice box. A M3 CLUTCH & PRESSURE PLATE along with a F1 16lbs FLYWHEEL. They offer there own clutch kits but I wanted OEM so without a doubt got the SACHS KIT. The Flywheel looks great. I've read good things about it, why not give it a try!

After the clutch came in, I was pumped to get everything together and the transmission on. It was a good month that motor wasn't touch and I've been itching to do something to her. Enjoy these pics. More parts coming, More Updates coming!
