Also if this build thread has helped anyone out, let me know. I'm glad to have met so many people through this build. Y'all have helped me out a lot.

I think it may have just convinced people to not ls swap their cars

I feel like your car needs a clear hood after seeing it so many times on IG and here with no hood

HAHA, my friends kept joking on me about driving around with no hood for a while. I feel like a clear hood would be awesome!

It's been a year since it's first start.

Damn already? I already crashed my LS E30 and parted it out :(

Please tell me you're joking....

Nah. Did like 3 seasons on track, then hit a friend of mine on a fun day track day. Still got the LS2 but the E30 is gone. Building an E46 meow.

Why the chassis change from an e30 to an e46?

I've been working on E30s for almost 15 years now. I've basically gotten tired of the chassis and want something newer. I have a passionate hate for E36s. I know how ironic that sounds but the 330 E46 is cheap enough and modern enough. Tons more space for an LS swap. I don't like 3 series after the E46. My other option was 1 series (still too expensive) and the BRZ/FRS (also too expensive).

Removable core support factory. Quick disconnects everywhere. So much less rust. I can find an E46 chassis for ~$1k running. I can't do that with E30s anymore. Even beat ones are $2k

[TeXJ]

Aww yeah good points. Just watch out for the chassis separation on the e46.
