I feel like speed academy could be a show on velocity on Sunday mornings

@samsonian 6 лет назад

Boost'N'Boba it’s a hell of a lot better than watching most other shows (and it’s a REAL SHOW, not manufactured drama and a little incidental car repair).

@Aladdin5cave 6 лет назад

Getting close to 200k subs! You guys deserve it and more!

May as well go with some wheel studs while you’re at it. I love the e28 content! 5 year goals!

@gunnerovergaard9646 10 месяцев назад

It’s been 5 years, have a E28 now? I own a E23 and love it!

@weaponizedmemes3461 4 года назад

Gosh old BMWs are just the best looking cars ever.

@doctorlobsteroctopus 6 лет назад

Loving the E28 content, it'snot even track focused but I thoroughly enjoy seeing the overhaul and cleanup of this car!

@originalweedy 6 лет назад

I been wondering about e28 coilovers for a while. So im loving this video.

@frantisekhajek8 6 лет назад

Hell yeah, another episode! Lift finally works I see. :)

@SwangBangCo 6 лет назад

Man so much content in one video it’s sooo good. Most would have stretched all that work into 5+ videos

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

We're just trying to get a lot done haha

@SwangBangCo 6 лет назад

It makes for great content though so keep them coming, I was inspired to finally get coilovers then I seen the brake set up then the suspension parts. I was like nope to expensive for my blood right now lol

@SwangBangCo 6 лет назад

Can I get the old steering wheel?

@X11CHASE 6 лет назад

I should’ve followed this build sooner, I love restorations and anything that focuses on having a car in the best condition possible

@giar9124 6 лет назад

I'm so tempted to get a cheap e28 eta and swap in a big six. These videos just make me want one even more

@Slooof 6 лет назад

12:45 try turning the amperage down a touch and also stick the spindle in the oven and pre heat it a bit, you'll find it a lot easier to weld and get a thicker bead.

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

WE'll get an oven at the shop eventually!

@leavingasap843 6 лет назад

Please please please more e28!

@Florian1095 6 лет назад

Awesome series with the BMW!

@michaelcole4338 6 лет назад

I shall feed the utubus algorithemus. Love that you're doing a daily upgrade. With a kid in college I can't afford a track car but fixing up the daily can happen as it requires parts.

@AutomotiveAnatomy 6 лет назад

I love the channel. Been following since the low thousands days. Back when you guys still responded lol

@speedacademydave 6 лет назад

LOL I'm responding! Feel free to e-mail us any time!

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

See we still do respond but creating 3 videos a week is making it harder and harder!

@AutomotiveAnatomy 6 лет назад

Speed Academy made my entire week lol

@crazyviolent69 6 лет назад

Loving the content lately. Thanks for bringing back my modified magazine experience.

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Awesome! Great to see a former reader watching our stuff.

@crazyviolent69 6 лет назад

Speed Academy I still have a big pile of them, loved the features. I've even got the old mags with the models haha

@bloodreighn 6 лет назад

i loved my e34's brakes, it felt like you could stop a boeing 747 at full tilt with its brakes haha

@BIMMERZEITT 6 лет назад

looks like a great upgrade, something I'll consider for my 533i in the spring of 2019

@Tsparkdriver 3 года назад

Got some e34 540i front callipers and e32 735i rear calipers. Need to refurbish them and buy some coils. Hope to get everything ready for spring

@cgmachanic 6 лет назад

I can't wait for the review on the fortune autos. This is literally the exact set up that I want for my E28

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Oh they're SO good.

@user-in2en5pv2u 6 лет назад

looks awesome. You guys do such great builds

@steifan 6 лет назад

The money must flow! ;)

@Mattgillot 6 лет назад

Glad to see another e28! I recently just bought one and got it road worthy. Have some content on my channel

@CrossWindsPat 6 лет назад

You guys are the fucking best. Been here since 30k subs and I never miss a video.

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

We appreciate the loyal support Pat!!

@kevinbowers3917 6 лет назад

BMW tech here. Always torque suspension under load, with screw jack, otherwise you pre-loaded the bushings for failure. Also, you forgot the caliper spring clips. Cheers, ed.

@andrecousteils3729 6 лет назад

Kevin Bowers Ramps are key at home!

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

All the suspension was torqued at ride height, just didnt show it and the springs were put on as well. Thanks for the reminder though!

@BrianGabrintino 6 лет назад

I want to see you take the e28 to the track, just for fun

@DriftingIsaLifestile 6 лет назад

Awesome episode. Cant wait for the rust repairs

@boltonky Год назад

Great video, i had 540 with 750 rears it made a huge difference but there are actually a few options depending on bias and cost. I want to put coil overs but the longer time goes on the more i ponder if you could install or make a custom setup easier (but know im over thinking it for a dream haha)

@s300123 6 лет назад

Great job.Specially the front suspension.Well done...

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@RhoadsChristopher 6 лет назад

Is that a turn 14 breast cancer shirt? How can I get one of those? My wife is a breast cancer survivor.

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

It is, not sure if they still sell them. I know they had them at the PRI show which is where I bought it.

@RhoadsChristopher 6 лет назад

Cheers

@carlosleandry12 6 лет назад

PLEASEE PUT FIFTEEN52 wheels on the e28 🙏🏼

@TheMerwais 6 лет назад

Damnnn those upgrade are looking fresh!

@dangsharks 6 лет назад

More E28! What about a M30B35 swap? Glad Pete's finally bringing the BMW back to the channel

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

I have a M30 sitting at the shop but the M20 is so good on gas and reliable that I wont be swapping it until something terminal happens.

@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn 3 года назад

That is an awesome job, I just don*t like the lowered back, first you have the gasoline tank, the muffler

@Gjon777 6 лет назад

Love the e28 stuff guys

Skookum boys

@sup3rd 6 лет назад

Yo! Just a headsup. EVERY Centric caliper that I've bought from RockAuto has rusted in CALIFORNIA. I highly suggest using Por-15's caliper paint to keep them from rusting. I love you guys!!!

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Thanks, was thinking of painting the calipers but never got around to it.

@michaelr5545 6 лет назад

Loving the e28 content, but I need some more Celica !!!

@speedacademydave 6 лет назад

Me too!

@datarez 6 лет назад

The hoist in action!

@jaimehernandez9844 5 месяцев назад

Nice video! hey I have the same 28e it’s 1988 Can you let me know where I can get the front shocks please and also the wheel bearing? If you have a link to refer to I’d appreciate it! Thank you!

@shadowxps 6 лет назад

Damn you bought all those arms? Rich business men indeed LOL

@YeetxBoi 6 лет назад

12 days late but could i still get the song name? beautiful coilovers and awesome work, love you guys' content!

@timisoutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Let me get those E34 540I part numbers for StopTech Rotors and OEM Calipers.

@rothusiast5078 5 лет назад

Not trying to sound lazy but I love the brake set up and cant find it..can you send me a link where you got them from? Like everything

@metricmechanic 3 года назад

E28 love. 👍

@PK-R 6 лет назад

Smashed it ten times!!

@CanadaBud23 6 лет назад

Mmm very nice coilovers!

@mikepierre3386 2 года назад

Hello, looking to upgrade my suspension in my e28, 535i can you advise what suspension that's a good mix between street and sport

@psme19 2 года назад

Are driving it in the winter for real? I got one for my son and one for me, the 1984 bmw 533

@kasper_429 6 лет назад

Okay, super-noob question/comment here, but I'm not that familiar with BMWs, mechanically at least. Do the wheels use like bolts or something to mount? It's just weird not seeing studs coming out from the hubs and through the brakes like the other cars I'm used to (I'm a JDM and American car person, normally). I guess I've just never noticed it lol.

@PoptartKingz 6 лет назад

Yep

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Yes, and sometimes its annoying to get the wheels on without studs. There are conversions out there but the bolts have their own advantages too.

@mapletree736 5 лет назад

I have a 528e as well. Was wondering if the front brakes where upgraded too

@youngpeter3588 3 года назад

lol thats funny u decided to put longer rear spring on

@samsonian 6 лет назад

@6:45 that’s right, give ‘er a good old reach-around there Pete!

@jackl4098 3 года назад

Could you post the products you brought for the build

@lamboferruccio 6 лет назад

Ah man I love E28’s, love the coilover & brake upgrade, what’s next an M52 swap 😝

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Ha! That's an expensive swap, not for a winter car :)

@lamboferruccio 6 лет назад

Speed Academy ok M50 swap then lol. It’ll showcase how well BMW’s are with swapping different parts from different year cars. Ok at least do a head swap from the E30 325i and some headers then 🙏🏼 😝

@lamboferruccio 6 лет назад

Oh you have an 87 model, scrap that you’ll need matching pistons too. 88 and up its just a top end swap.

@962RACER 6 лет назад

Someone get our man an electric fan! Toronto heat is no joke, gets pretty humid too.

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

We have fans but when shooting videos they make too much noise :( so we have to turn them off.

@962RACER 6 лет назад

all the sacrifices you make for our viewing pleasure, we ain't complaining :p.

@thebates7217 5 лет назад

Any idea on specifically what to ask Fortune Auto to get this same exact set up? Only asking because you got extended versions. Thanks

@speedacademy 5 лет назад

They should have the noted setup on file, just tell em you want the Speed Academy E28 setup. And if they dont email me and Ill help you out.

@Dylan94 6 лет назад

That is a coilover. Coil spring over shock is literally what it means, right?

@jamest5149 6 лет назад

Why did you chose to tig the strut tubes? MIG can lay down lots of material.

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

I can ensure better penetration. My MIG is only 120V.

@chadsmith7018 2 года назад

Did you also change the rear calipers?

@scoobygms210 6 лет назад

Does it need that much brake ? Will it have enough tire to use that much brake without locking ?

@samking4179 5 лет назад

assuming you are in Canada. do you have floor fans in Canada? buy some.

@andrecousteils3729 6 лет назад

Pretty sure its 46mm or use a 1-13/16"

@soloryderrr 6 лет назад

PETE interested in where exactly you got the ozone generator! Do you have a link?

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

amzn.to/2MnaNob

@vladvechtomov 3 года назад

what was the rear shock height you guys ordered?

@frozenpete788 6 лет назад

This is going to brake like crazy ! Don't drive a stock e30 you will be so disapointed ! The first time I drove the e28 I thought that the braking was soooooo much better than my 325is e30. I can't imagine the deceleration with this new setup !

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

it's REALLY good :)

@sambarnes9520 3 года назад

SA what ever happened to the 528E?

@blos90 6 лет назад

Looking good

@Killerconceptz 6 лет назад

Get some tornado fans!

@lb9gta307 6 лет назад

After all that, I would have done a wheel stud conversion as well.

@grizoh 6 лет назад

Nicholas Rodrigues you can do that at any time, takes 5 minutes.

@yudi1541 4 года назад

What's kind coilovers?

@nessusing 6 лет назад

Work and film in the evenings instead? Might be cooler

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Dave has daddy time in the evenings!

@BMkeys14 6 лет назад

Hey Peter, where did you get your brake kit and suspension arms from? I was thinking of going with the Ireland engineering big brake kit, 750i front 540i rear. As for suspension I went with the CAtuned suspension kit

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Bought everything from RockAuto.com expect the rotors. Heard the CAtuned suspension is nice as well.

@JoppaDaGreat 6 лет назад

Dang it, I was in this stupid army class and missed my chance to be first 3x in a row 😂

@lonerider5315 5 лет назад

What rims are those I want them

@Tivoliterror 6 лет назад

But it is a COIL OVER... :V

@BennysBenz 5 лет назад

Did the upgraded kit come with the pads calipers and caliper?

@speedacademy 5 лет назад

Yes, I bought it with everything

@572dart 2 года назад

Do you know if these coil overs would fit an E24 ( 635csi )

@francispowell1811 Год назад

Same chassis.

@hedlund88 6 лет назад

are you guys 3 months behind on videos incase winter is 6 months away? :) nice seeing how to weld on coilover tho, never seen it be done before, will need to do the same sometime in the future on a volvo

@speedacademydave 6 лет назад

Nah, Pete's just bad at math. This was shot in late June.

@Tom-xd4ct 6 лет назад

One request. Can we see more driving footage before going to the next project?

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

The wrap up video will have driving footage.

@wilhobbs207 6 лет назад

Winter is only 6 months away? In Calgary we are expecting snow in just over a month. : (

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Oh thats certainly not good!

@wilhobbs207 6 лет назад

It's the Rockies + altitude. But my snow drift skills are 10/10.

@rickoshay8317 6 лет назад

Are those real Alpina wheels? I love the look and would love to find a set of either genuine or clones for my e30 but my google skills have failed me. Suggestions?

@speedacademy 6 лет назад

Yes, they're real. Its hard to find them but they do exist. I would start on ebay. Not sure if replicas exist either.
