I'm not sure you'd be able to have your car as low as it is in the photo if you go to 11" springs in combination with the extra height of adjustable perches. I have 9" tall rear springs and don't have much room to lower more. I wouldn't go over 10".

Totally understand the urge. Over the past handful of years, I've been tempted to ditch mine more times than I can count. I think the main thing that's convinced me to keep mine is that I'm pretty confident I'd end up wanting a similar project within 2 years after selling it. If that's not the...

Thank you! Wanted to get one more on the books before the end of 2024. Ending the year with first start seems fitting.

That little finger creeping in freaked me out. Awesome to see this up and running at long last!

Many people have run maxpeeding rods without issue (although I’ve never seen the gold ones). I have maxpeeding rods in my T5. No need for machining to run them. I didn’t trust the bolts they come with so I bought ARP bolts direct from ARP.

That was a lot of fun to watch; that car really moves. Nice racing!

I don't believe so--I think the strut insert was intended for softer springs than the coilover assembly version, but don't recall specs.

Really happy with them on my car, and I know of at least one other person with them on their car who is happy as well. Unless you are spending a lot more on something really nice, you can't beat them on a 240. I've had multiple bilstein and koni setups on 240s and they don't come close to the...

Nice work on the roof—that’s a big job to take on. Looking forward to seeing the new paint!

Love the green on the e36 M3 GT! Could also see just doing white

Not really sure, but the last color that caught my eye was Porsche Fjord Green

Not sure what all it came on, but I also don’t think it’s all that great of a color. Most of the car was already that color when I got it, so I just kept it. The color is one of my less favorite things about the car, but it’s a lot of effort and cost to change that.

Nope, it was repainted Volvo 477 (Electric Silver Metallic) which came on S60 and other cars in the 2000s

Thank you for the kind words! The BBS wheels I feel like I can’t escape BBS RC’s for some reason. I got a crazy deal on the first set of 17x8s (used to be on the Volvo, now on the BMW) and later found another deal i couldn’t pass up for the 17x9 set (now on the Volvo). I’m not in love with the...

I’m slowing catching up to the present on these videos. It’s a little crazy how long this ‘quick rebuild’ of a previously-complete swap has taken. Really looking forward to getting this all dialed in and jumping on some other new projects after the engine.

The MaxxECU install is complete, and the engine is back in the car.

Yep, for getrag 265 on a redblock, so that hasn’t been installed in my car in 8 years

It was jao aka j9fab aka Jesse on here, but that was a longgggg time ago.

Things are moving along nicely with building the engine harness for MaxxECU. I’m waiting on another package from ProWire because I ran out of 1/8” DR25 shrink tubing before on the last few wires in the engine bay. In the meantime, here’s another video capping off the work to get everything...

So much sanding! I’d like to see the pile of spent sandpaper so far. You guys are making it happen. Incredible.
