    WTB: Full M10 Manual swap & suspension refresh

    So I purchased an e30 318 1984 M10 1.8L auto that's been sitting for 5 years.
    I am looking for the following kits/packages..
    - 5 speed manual swap, early or M10 compatible..
    - Suspension refresh kit. OEM or newer gen front/rear, let me know what you got.

    Located in the bay area but willing to travel to socal. PM me

    FCP will be your friend if you want kits. The lifetime warranty helps even if you’ve messed something up on install. Was this the silver one on CL in Bay Area by chance? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

        I agree, thinking about going with FCP kits. I always struggle with the bushings, this will be a good time to swap everything.

        And yes, it's the silver one that was posted in the bay, but located 2hr east.. 66k miles :)

        I've got a manual tranny and spare engine (parts) to be collected soon. Haven't done a manual swap yet, if someone is willing to lend a hand I'm willing to compensate or reciprocate.

              Yes! :) I'll pull it and prep everything. It's the reassembly and ensuring everything is working properly that I need some experienced eyes on. If anyone is down, please hit me up!
