Roddy’s E36 M-Sport - M52B28 Conversion - Huge Spec

 Do you know where the car is now and does it still look the same?

Loving to see this amount of work go into an E36. You must have a fair stock of spares...... And i want most of them! 

UPDATE :

Finaly got around to fitting my LSD today.. Run in to a few complications along the way which i will now tell you about.

Yesterday i have removed my diff alone and fitted it to a 318iS that was in at work for a replacement diff due to his deciding to colapse. So i replaced it with mine for a small fee since mines was coming out anyway for the slipper.

So today while i was removing all the old bushes from my new axle. (328 Axle) The gaffer started striping my camber adjustable rear arms and such like from my exsisting axle.

Later to find after removing the bushes from the new axle trailing arm i had managed to misshape the hole for the bush with the arm and crack it slightly :


(Wooops.. I accidently was hitting it to hard while pressing it out to free it up it went oval)

Shortly after i removed my axle from the car :

Not to fear tho, We end up striping down my old axle thats minus the 318 diff to use that trailing arm and hub with the 328 drive shaft

This became more of a pain than original thought.. One of the 328 drive shafts that we needed did not want to be removed and eventualy it came out but this time the thread that the hub nut screws on to where damaged and the shaft is no good.. so we had i think of where to pick up another shaft but during this came accross another problem. This axle hubs/Wheelbairns will have done hell of a lot more miles than mines so it end up coming down to strip both axles of everything and use,

E36 328 Carrier
E36 328 2.93 LSD
E36 328 Shafts
E36 318 Hubs & Trailing Arms (From my previous axle)

In the process of striping axles.



So inbetween other jobs that go on today we managed to get my axle out, both striped and ready to be built back up and then fitted with LSD to my 328.


So when i left tonite the E36 was sitting like this :
