OLOA 318ti s52 turbo

[whitecord]

so I said i would make a build thread in my intro thread and here it is. This will be a build thread that will be more of a restoring/finishing/replaceing thread as the car is already pretty much built.

here is a few things that the car has

-built s52 with wisco pistons and eagle rods and a euro oil cooler
with arp2000 studs awaiting a headgasket swap to the ces cutring gasket
-gt35r82 turbo on a spa manifold with a mix of the original active piping and intercooler and some trm stuff.
-tial wastegate 40mm i think, and a tial bov
-ap racing brakes 355mm 6 piston in the front and 2 piston in the rear not sure on the size.
-dforce ltw-5 18x10 with 265/35/18 all around
-kw coil overs.
-I not sure on the diff. i do not think it has the 2.93 gears anymore. but it has e30 m3 axels and a finned diff cover.
-zkw headlights
-matter roll bar bolt in.
-racelogic traction control (waiting to be installed)

there is a ton of other things as well, but right now thats all i can think of. I will try and post some pics as i go and update the thread when things of interest happen.

since i bought the car i have done a lot of cleaning. put new bumper trim on the front. installed a nicer condition front lip. replaced the seals around the door handles, replaced the cracked windsheild, reglued the door panels and scraped all the mirror tint off.

here are a few pictures

Looks good!

[whitecord]

yea i have to dig the dme cover out of my buddys garage soon. i think i am going to switch it to blow thru so i can fit a decent air filter on there.

[tiFreak]

there's probably enough room in there for one of those smaller HKS air filters in there

Damn looks awesome :coo:

I like it

How did you get 18x10s rears?

[whitecord]

the fenders are slightly rolled and the offset is around 41 i think. if i redo it i am going to put 9s all around a 9 inch rim is enough for a 265 and it wont rub. i need to roll the fenders good or lift the car up some to keep this setup

Did you buy this from 3literheater?

[whitecord]

no i got it from rennteknik( or something like that) he got if from jared and he got it from the original owner.

Too bad I won't catch the OLaA this year.
I usually see them at the Performance Center.

A 318ti.org decal gotta be worth a little extra hp.
We will all be rooting for ya!
