M30 swap for my Olive Drab Vert!

So I spaced out on the vintage. Must be time for a vacation.

Sorry I missed you guys

What Otis got scared in a turbo m30?!?!? That thing really must be a beast

Never been in the passenger seat of my own car, now I know what it feels like. Ridiculous ....!!!

Lmao very true. Being passenger puts a hole different feel when hauling ass in a car haha. Feel safer as the driver

It 'twas fun!

So I averaged 20 mpg on this last tank of gas which included the trip to Winston Salem from Asheville and back, a few interstate challengers who were quickly put in their places, around the vintage, a quick little sprint with Dan and Otis, and finally a day's worth of running around Asheville today running errands. So I think it is a pretty accurate representation of what I normally see as I have driven this car over the last year.

I was laughing all weekend about my ride with Otis in Matts car. It was the 1st time riding in the back of a cabrio actually. I did not get it on video but even after the drive, Otis was still amazed on the power. Otis got a taste of his own medicine.

Matt, thanks for the ride, excellent work, and nice meeting your girls. :up:

Matt sweet ride! Was great to chat with you about your setup & nab some cool stickers. That's one in depth build you have there.

Thanks! It was nice showing it off. I hope you put that sticker to good use. If you need more let me know.

I think I am way late but its better than never. Here is some tire shredding action. Only 1st gear and in a small space but fun all the same.

I'm having the same problem you were having with the engine not sitting right. Its a b35 with Garagistic mount arms and condor mounts. Would it be possible to get the measurements of the custom mounts you made? My turbo sticks up too far and hits the hood. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

[RagtopE30]

I am sorry but I dont have the specs any more. And honestly I am not sure of the exact angles that were machined into the aluminum blocks that are now my engine mounts due to the amount of trigonometry that had to be done to ensure everything sat flat against the mating surfaces. I would suggest doing what I did, mock up the desired angle of the engine using anything you can as shims. Ensure everything clears and the engine is as low as possible. Then either research which rubber mounts will work or take measurements and do the math.

Big things are coming!!! Stay tuned.....
