  • Today we figure out where and how the S54 and 6 speed manual transmission will be placed in the E30. We picked up a spare front subframe from my friend PartsEuropean and proceeded to disassemble and cut it up so we can start fabricating a custom front subframe. We also experiment with the stock BMW e30 transmission crossmembers to see what we can fit!

      Nice progress! BTW I've seen them called engine hoists, shop cranes, cherry pickers, etc. Although, an actual "cherry picker" is a crane that people can stand in, presumably to pick cherries from a tree.

      In the engine hoist context, the name ‘Cherry picker’ derived from orchards design to lift boxes of fruit.

    My favorite BMW enthusiast DUO on CZcams. Thanks again to you both!
    I only prefer time lapses for repetitve processes that don't serve the purposes of the video. For example I don't particularly care to watch six, eight or twelve repetitive sparkplug swaps when just one is plenty. Time lapse can cover the repetitive processes.

    • @ShopLifeTV

    Talking through it is so much more informative for people contemplating doing a similar procedure. TikTok is fine for a time-lapse type approach - to the point.
    I appreciate being able watching the evolutionary process. ...and, there's always the x2 speed option. 😉

    I suggest moving the engine and extra 1 inch to the intake side to make space for the big ball bearing borg Warner turbo with 3.5inch down pipe because normally getting the lengths equal for the headers needs a little more space.

    Hi guys just my 2 cent thought, why not rather use the BMW Z3 Subframe w/ sway bar or the BMW E34 M50 Front sump and pickup, therefore you can use the S54 rear pickup sump/ oil pan.

  • @sethmalcolm8247
    @sethmalcolm8247 Před rokem

    Any update on this? Curious how you’re going to make this work. The steering rack needs to go where it was on the e30 subframe. It needs to line up with the steering knuckle close to where it was originally or you’ll get bump steer, and other problems. If the original steering rack position on that subframe is in the way of the oil pan, you need to move the engine somewhere else.

  • @bombitamotorsport
    @bombitamotorsport Před 2 lety +1

    i think you should start considering changing tthe oil pan and making stuff a little bit easier, i know you want to get into fab and that. but there is a lot you can still do to get into that, and that wont be such a pain in the ass as making a subframe and a steering rack mount. And im saying this because i made that kind of stuff and its no fun.... Great content though!!

    • @ShopLifeTV
      @ShopLifeTV  Před 2 lety +1

      If we just wanted to quickly build the car and slap it together I would definitely go with a front sump oil pan. But we will probably never get rid of this car and continue to build and change it over the years so I would rather do it the right way to begin with. The front sump also has bad clearance and once we lower the car that pan will probably not stand a chance
