Hello everyone! I am starting this new thread here on R3Vlimited because my old thread was deleted off of the e30tech forum. And yes it is a 1991 BMW 325i with the 2JZ-GTE Toyota Supra engine that I finished swapping this summer i was originally swapping the engine into a Lexus sc300 but I found a great deal on this rust free California e30 and couldn't pass on this deal. I will try to post every detail along with pics on what my build consisted of starting from the time of when I picked up the car here in Wisconsin in the summer of 2015. Technically I started the 2JZ race car project back in the December of 2013.
At first I bought the engine off of some Canadian motor company on eBay it is probably the safest way to buy engines like these. And I bought the 5 speed Toyota R154 transmission off of Freed engineering. Keep in mind this transmisión is built with marlin crawler gears. I have the build list here below(keep in mind some parts were for the lexus sc300 I could've saved myself a ton more money by simply waiting for a good E30 deal to have come by but oh well.)
