[slow e30]

my s52 car has 50/50 so sorry to burst your bubble.

prove it.

holy shit... thats actually really cool. all i care about is being able to turn so thats why im usually so against swaps but thats not a bad deal getting 5.7 liters and increasing distribution ratio.

by the way, when i say swaps, i picture like the crazy ones that make a small car go fast in a straight line. what we do at R3v is more like an upgrade. the motors are so interchangeable because there so similar and we get to benifit from the evolution or BMW engineering.

Yeah I was surprised about that too. I talked to garret awhile back about this and he said he wieghted his car and it was 50/50 or along those lines.

Ls1 is 50/50 if you read the post above the ls1 wieghts less then a m50. That was my point. Also the V8 sits farther back having more wieght in the middle of the car.

look im done here. this thread is not about this at all, and the guy who started this thread hasent even posted because me & a couple off asses (myself included) are in a little argument over nothing really that valid. What i said to slow E30 was inappropriate and i ignored his direct rudeness the first time. the second i got defensive, and to everyone else, i know that swaps are a great enhancement, i was just being difficult, and i was on the rag.

no but really, im sorry guys for whomever ive offended or just pissed off. i have been a real dick lately to others because of my own problems. anyone here that loves the BMW E30 in any form is obviously an alright individual.
Cheers

i said i dont think there that great to begin with. i dont think taxes are that great either but there def not pointless.

then i said i was in favor of keeping a car as close to 50/50 as possible, meaning a v8 would jeapordize that. then you chimed in and said . Hey i have a 6 cylinder in my car and its 50/50. remember?

yeah im still doing it and you didnt burst anything, you just proved my point so.....thanks

How did I prove your point? you said swapped cars are basicly pointless...

[coolasacuc]

Thats common ford problem. They all have oil issues in the upper rpm range. Its a shitty oil galley design. Thats why people who are serious about fords by World Products or Merlin blocks.

yep he just downshifted to accelerate though a some traffic. and got to 42-4500 rmp and then Bang and then nothing except a trail of oil on the street. popped the the hood he reached in and pulled out a front section of his crank!

if youd prefer a 346 in an e30, i cant imagine what your definition of DRIVING is.

i like to keep sports cars as close to 50/50 as i can. i think motor swaps arent that great to begin with.
