#537342 Misc. Crx Parts For Sale (best Offer)
Posted by J-MAN on 24 March 2012 - 08:55 PM in FS
1) JDM tail lights (amber corners), one crack that doesn't leak water. Got in a trade from OG Wagon a few years back and never used on my car
2) JEM B and C pillar braces in great condition. Have hardware for C pillar bar, but not for B pillar
3) Original OPM adjustable panhard bar, rod ends are worn but can be replaced
4) 80's vintage MOMO Corse steering wheel, worn but still in respectable shape for its age
5) 2 Month old Eibach ERS springs 7x2.5 inch (fits OPM coilovers), spring rate is 275. Paid alittle over 120 shipped
6) Acura Integra GSR "fat fives" with older Nokian snow tires, used as my winter setup for past 3 years. Tires have some life left and wheels are painted dark gray (could use a respray to make them pretty again).
#537025 Quick Update On The Whereabouts Of J-man (bmw Content)
Posted by J-MAN on 19 March 2012 - 12:34 PM in Off-Topic
Alittle info on the car:
1999 BMW 540i
Sport Package
6spd
Dinan stg 4 engine engine package
Full Dinan Suspension
Various M Sport goodies
147xxx
Quaife ATB LSD with 3.15 gears
Car is a fully documented two owner car with some extensive records at Motor Werks West In NJ who are Dinan specialists. So far the car has been great to me and mileage is quite as bad as expected (almost 20 mpg mixed driving with a few spirited runs). Picked her up for a very reasonable price with a few minor needs, but hopefully with some preventative maintenance and some TLC it will last anotehr 150k.
Some Pics (excuse the poor MS paint skills and the dirty car):

#531845 Realistic Na Hydra Power Potential?
Posted by J-MAN on 05 December 2011 - 04:45 PM in General Posts
Realistically I might be able to build a nice "hydra-t" for around that price if I went the route of gtpilot and ran pg6 pistons with a stock blacktop head, then pieced together a junkyard turbo kit (with the proper support mods for fuel, boost, and tune) and get it tuned on turbo edit (obd-0) and easily exceed my power goal for 140whp. The only issue I see with a turbo setup are probable reliability issues (especially after seeing E-Man's issues over the years) and that is a key factor since this will be seeing daily duty.
But the idea of a B swap also sounds appealing strictly for reliabilities sake, but that opens up a whole other can of worms regarding selling parts/having the car down for an extended period of time/fitment which never seems to go right on any bseries swap I've followed. If you really think about it I could probably eek out a Vtec bseries swap for 1500-2000 out of pocket, plus selling off the ew goodies like the Mugen equipped trans and DC header.
So as you guys can clearly see I'm still up in the air with this decision and weighing my options. If anyone has any insight or opinions feel free to drop a line. J-Man
#531667 Realistic Na Hydra Power Potential?
Posted by J-MAN on 02 December 2011 - 11:26 AM in General Posts
EW block overbored to fit p29 pistons, fully balanced bottom end with ARP rod bolts, milled blacktop head (aiming for compression in the 11's, or as high as possible on premium gas), Reground cams (possibly delta 272's), F22 adj cam gears, and of course all the supporting mods to run this combo (OBD-0 wiring conversion on a chipped pm6 with a custom tune). Now I'm aware that I'm simplifying everything that goes into building a motor like this and their are many variables to calculating power. My goal is to put out a 140+whp and still retain some streetability for a fraction of the cost of a b-series swap. But if these goals are unreasonable I'd rather stick with the good ol 100whp EW, save my pennies for a B swap, and sell off my EW goodies when the time comes.
Feel free to chime in with any info or opinions regarding the matter, thanks again RPR.

#530716 Quick Spring Rate Question

#529086 Project Rexy
Posted by J-MAN on 11 October 2011 - 12:21 PM in Projects
Rexy is still alive and up until the NEC meet was seeing daily use. Unfortunately after years of abuse some of the suspension components have worn out and the car is sitting partially disassembled in the driveway. The spherical rod ends on my OPM panhard bar as well as the spherical endlinks on my rear swaybar have alot of slop and are in need of replacement. The new plan for the car is to detune the suspension to make it more "livable" on a daily basis while still having some prowness for the occasional track day. Plans include a new chedda J phb, hypercoil 275-300lb springs, poly swaybar endlinks, and possibly poly bushings for my OPM camber plates.
Also on the to do list is a new sheetmetal sunroof blockoff with roof vent (ghetto AC? lol), newerish window weatherstripping (if anyone has a pair in good condition I'm interested), and refurb the 85 Si spoiler I finally got my hands on (Thanks again Big Orange!).
In the year since I've updated this thread I've added a few small bits including DS tuning floor mats, Vortex tabs (Yes like an evo), restored the quarter panel window trim, installed new thrush muffler, and performed some basic maintenance. The cars currently got 267xxx and still goin strong despite the recent suspension troubles.
Heres a few recent pics of the car from the Wilq's NEC meet (alittle dirty from the obscure dirt road that the GPS took us down)
