Adjustable rear upper control arms. Designed to give me more camber and toe adjustment, as well as clear the chassis when low.
The biggest thank you to my legend of a father for helping me design these arms. I gave him a rough idea what I was trying to achieve, and 69 minutes later he comes back with these gangster CAD drawings and a bunch of ideas to make them way more legit.
They allow me to align within factory spec or all the way to around -10* of camber while clearing the frame.
FK Bearings heims, Energy Suspension poly bushings, toe arms and positioning bushings turned in aluminum, and ‘camber arms’ in steel cus strength and so I can weld it myself

Holly fuel pump with the same flow rating as the main oem pump, keeping it reliable long term and quiet. I wanted the pump to be visible so it’s mounted to the same brackets that holds the cell down, isolated from vibrations by rubber mounting isolators. The fuel system was done for functionality reasons, but it’s hard to do anything without focusing on the way it looks, so most of the time on this project aside from finding the right parts and solutions, was spent figuring out how to make it look decent. Cleanliness and ascetics are everything, super understated, but tidy.
I spent forever trying different solutions for wire management for the sender and cell ground. Last slides are V3; two delrin cylinders, the top one threaded for a NPT to -8AN 90* fitting which contains the wires 💃🏻
Thank you to the gents at DP Automotive. Very stoked to have close friends that are also the E38 specialists in Ontario
2nd pic is a depiction of my emotions the entire time it was at the shop lol
I gave these guys a massive daunting list of maintenance jobs that I never could have done or diagnosed at home.
I won’t even try writing the list I gave them but the quest for the most reliable E38 drivetrain is almost complete. Best iteration of the M60B40, now with zero oil leaks, waterless coolant, functioning speedo, abs, asc, air conditioning, fresh hoses and bushings, etc etc
