Nope, I think you are correct. Good find! I think its "users browsing this thread" on other sites.

So what are you going to be doing for the front suspension 240sc coilovers too? What are you planning on using the car in what type of events formula d?

[Barry]

For now just using stock struts. Ill either convert them to coilovers or use w body knuckles and maybe adapt my 240 coilovers.

[Barry]

Just local drift events and drag racing for now. Save the bimmer for track days

[Barry]

Supra clutch master cylinder mounted. Has a resivour on top... I may remote mount it for more space depending on how the brake linkages go

Supra brake booster mount

All mounted up.


I went with supra stuff because it has decent sized brakes right from the factory. That way I can upgrade my front brakes and not have all the bias issues I had when it was FWD.

I have a bunch of shafts and bearings and heim joints that I am building a proper brake linkage for. Its much better than the "bent rod" manuver that a lot of the bimmer guys are using.

I am going to adapt the supra slave cylinder the the camaro t-5. The stock gm plastic crap is just begging to become an issue.

Was there no room on the inside for te brake booster? I recall that area on my car being pretty empty on the inside. Just asking.

[Barry]

In the interior? Not that I would try.

Lookin real good there. I was wondering how it was all coming together. I see you still got the fwd front cover on and wondering if your gonna keep it that way. If so, cause i was thinking bout this myself, how are you gonna do the power steering pump and intake manifold? Can the reservoir come off the PS pump and remote mount that by the master cylinder maybe?

[Barry]

I plan on going completely camaro front on the motor, but have considered just hacking the p/s tab off and mouting the p/s pump elsewere. The issue is that I think there is a coolant passage right where I need to hack or something. I dont remember it was a little while since I looked at it.

Winning!

Do I get to drive it when you're done? haha

[Barry]

Yeah man. I gotta bring this thing to Bfest ne. Well have some fun with it

[Barry]

Also ordered some 2" mandrel bends to do the front crossover. Then 2.5 or 3 inch out the rear

[Alpinestar10]

Hey barry if you want i have a older gen 2 3.1 timing cover i can hack up to see if it has anyhting in it for you, The camaro front cover will space all you belt driven items out more.

I plan on going completely camaro front on the motor

The pick n pull yard by my house just got in a complete 93-95 3.4 L32 V6 Auto Firebird if you need anything! LMK

[Barry]

Alpine, awesome point. I did notice they hang the accessories way off the sides. I'll look at my 3500 cover and see if I can make it work.

Scd, thanks for the offer. I'm gonna try to use as many fwd parts as possible to save space.

The more space I have the easier power adders will come on of I ever need to
