357ti is done!

You guys don't have to defend the spoiler; those of us with a working brain can see its function.

I'm glad you guys went with stoptech. Did you have to swap hubs to fit those things?

[tengohambre]

I'm assuming that this was a previous incarnation of the ti:

Will there be an album for this conversion?

Absolutely sick... looks like an AMAZINGLY complete and overkill job. Take it to the track yet? What are you shooting for?

Edit: Is the roll-cage a custom fab or a kit? Looks freakin' awesome...

[3DGE]

This may be a dumb question, but how much fab work did you have to fo to fit the engine in the car?

I know it has function, Im not stupid. But there is not reason not to make it functional and look good.

I’ll try and answer everyone’s questions:

1. I have 310 pictures of the conversion, so yes I’ll be adding them to the website.

2. The roll cage is custom, it was also built be Randy.

3. The engine fits without any fab work to the chassis, but there is an incredible amount needed in regards to motor mounts, oil pan, exhaust, and accessories.

4. I like the looks of the spoiler, and since it’s my car that’s all that matters – and since it will blow by any ‘winged’ ti out there that’s pretty much the end of the discussion.

First day at the track is this Thursday.

Sweet ride! I assume you'll be at PR Thurs? I'd be tempted to stop by, but I'll be out of town. Hope to see you at a local BMW event or? Are you running the T56 tranny and an M3 rear?

[jcarp]

I'll be there, but don't expect any world shattering laps. Thursday is just for shake down and adjustments. I will also be out at the June 7th event.

[snuggz]

umm... I'm pretty sure they'll still be "world shattering", if only in the realm of this site/car... The guy who makes the Nash conversions isn't talking...

Does anyone even know what the fastest 1/4 time for an E36/5 is?

[SDKmann]

Is there anyone here with a Racing Dynamics K55 Hurricane ti? Id like to see the 357ti and that go against each other.

hurricane Ti

[Silver00spike]

exhaust is not my cup of tea, but the engine makes up for it. Be careful in the rain

Its a ti built by Racing Dynamics with a V12 in it. I think it would be a pretty close match if these two cars raced.

jcarp, first of all your car is amazing!

Second, quick question about your old setup. I see you deleted the powersteering and pump. Unfortunately I can't see your tensioner setup in the pics of the engine. What size is the new belt, and what did you do to tension it? Is it still the hydraulic tensioner that came on the engine or did you set it up to tension like a V-Belt? Any insight would be great. TIA.

Oh, and again, car is tits!
