So, On To The Tii


Meintii

1,590 views

The tii is not here with me in Texas. However, it is in the capable hands of Jason Rose @ heritage motorsports /UUC in North Atlanta. My dead line to finish this project is before my lease is up in March, where I will then have a garage to keep it in!

Ive been slowly gathering and sending funds for this to get finished, plus Jason moved shops, so it is about to go full swing in the next month or so (hoping to have it driving before xmas).

New goals/details in the project that developed at my last visit to Jason, Also, some pics of new parts!

Engine bay :

We are going to build a new body wiring harness to control the headlights/turns/driving lights/ etc and run this harness through the fender and get it out of the engine bay. We are using lightweight TXL wiring for this, along with using BMW Weather pack connectors for the connections instead of spade connectors (just something that has always bugged me).

As for the engine harness, we will be using the stock E30 325i engine harness. However, we are going to be using a 31 pin Molex connector mounted on the firewall for super easy removal when the engine has to come out (hopefully not often :) )

Exterior

All fender flares/turbo spoiler will be held on with Torx screws and aluminum rivet nuts for easy removal.

We have semi straightened the rear quarter damage, may paint it to hold it over until I get the car repainted. Also need to paint the sunroof, inside of the hood , and do damage control on pass front fender

Also Still need to cut the rear quarters for the turbo flares

Interior

New carpet courtesy of Esty! So Stoked for this! Its Saltish pepperish . Will look awesome!

Decided to run no center console just for a simpler look. Switchs will be relocated to awesome stock looking locations.

Alpina (or turbo) style 3 gauge pod in place of the tii clock. Using VDO Vision series gauges.

Hopefully jason will pop up on here with a comment every once in awhile if hes not too busy but otherwise I will be updating this as I here from him!

Glad to hear the build is still alive! Very interested to see how the wiring comes out too. Did y'all ever figure out a radiator to use to allow you not to cut?

Dasfroogger we are using an alloy unit that allowed us to put everything in without cutting. The only thing that really sucks is you have to put engine and transmission in mounted to the front subframe. It all goes in as a unit.

Shoot me a pm with the part number / where to find that radiator.

I had planned on dropping the body over the motor/trans attached to the subframe, i didnt think it would work otherwise. Glad i was on to something there!
