I'd rather see that motor put in a locost or some kit car than in a car that has plenty of motor offerings from within the family. Fab skills, totally... I (and others) just hate the idea of a non BMW engine in a BMW. Shit, put that motor in a new Lotus Elise and I'd love it to death!

though on some level the 4g63 is a compelling motor, the simple fact that mitsubishi as a company is such a pile of shit and has the longest list of half-assedness of any manufacturer, makes me not like that sway anyway.

BUMP
HAHA
I prefer to see some guy put a 4G63 in an E30 than see another E30 in the JY like so many others. Its not something I would do but more power to him. Thanks for posting it.

SRs get crankwalk when they make upwards of 400whp and they aren't that great of a 2.0L engine. 4g63 is a great engine. The fact the man started a project and is essentially seeing it to the end is whats important. I'd rather see a unique project build. Then atypical m52 swap that gets half-assed or never completed.Originally posted by gotKRAUT View PostComment

Awesome!I don't think your mom appreciates the value of those modificationsComment

I'm not going to say its lame, cause its not, it takes mad skills. It take patience... and I can respect that... but... the big question is...
Why in the world would you buy an E30? if you like jap imports so much, just go get one. Why go bmw then put a heart of a Jap import in it? Makes absolutely zero sense. E30 isnt exactly the best chassis, why why why... this mod is pointless.Comment

i completely disagree. 100% i think the e30 chassis is awesome. go ahead and flame me for that if you want. i just want more power but i dont want to put a big 80s iron block up front. maybe i want to do it just to say that i did. maybe i want a car that can smoke cars that cost 10x more. Maybe i want to do it to prove that the e30 IS an awesome car and that it has HUGE potential-- in fact thats exactly what im after in my project. When I finish ill post pics, and i'm sure ill get flamed like everybody else on here thats done something other than put an m or s series in the e30. ill also be out there proving the e30 is a car to be taken seriously.
EDIT: i should add, proving that to the bmw in general haters.Last edited by Brinkley; 09-23-2007, 10:30 AM.I don't think your mom appreciates the value of those modificationsComment
