Brakes will be budget, 330i calipers, brackets and rotors. Stainless lines and good ebc pads.Originally posted by racrguy View PostIf you aren't going to get a NICE brake setup, go with the M-pars, if you are, go with the ltw-5's IMO.
I was looking at New age hotrods, but too much $$$$ Most likely Nash, Vorshlag or Samberg. Just the motor and transmounts though. I'll have a custom clutch line made, relocate/extend the abs on my own, local driveshaft shop, stock steering shaft. I'll wire it myself (even though I hate wiring). I just haven't made up my mind on exhaust.Originally posted by Skidmark View PostWhich company are you looking at for the hard swap parts? Vorshlag?Last edited by VaderTT; 04-02-2013, 01:44 PM.

Nice, I'm leaning towards them. I figure the few extra pounds will be offset by the weight loss elsewhere and the money saved can go to the suspension.Originally posted by Skidmark View PostI like the m-par more, visually..
I need to get the rest of my delrin, poly bushings and limiters.

Shouldn't be hard, most guys use all bmw components and a 318 a/c compressor using a custom or modified stock bracket. Heat won't be an issue, just some splicing of hoses and routing of the heater valve.Originally posted by Skidmark View PostSweet project. I'd love to have a e36 or 46 LSx car.
How hard will it be to retain A/C and heat? If I were to ever do one i'd like it to have all the comfort stuff.

Ok, I want to order wheels within the next couple weeks. I'm on the edge between 2 choices.
M parallel's in an 18x8

D-Force LTW5 in 17x8

The M-Pars are cheaper, but heavier. Ltw5's are light (15.5lbs), but they are mo-spensive.
