    UK Touring Build, Powered by......ummm, yeah



    I do, however, like that rear strut/stress bar he made.

    That is absolutely badass. Ordinarily I would view something like that as sacrilege for both donor and recipient, but it seemed VERY well executed. I guess it's because I have a soft spot for 9000's and 900's.





    That RSB is an excellent idea for the very few who plan on tracking an E30iT. I really like some of the stuff the guy did.

    Thanks for the link.

      Yeah, it's not some hack job, that's for sure.

      This convinced me to go ahead with planning my "impure" motor swap.

        Some nice stuff there, I wish it had become a 48 page thread by the time I was on page two, but it's got some work to come along, then should be nice.

          Wow, that's a motor I have never seen in an E30. And it naturally makes me want a touring even more...

          His definitions of beat cars are interesting; at least on the surface, that 325i SE looked just as good as many of the cars on here...

                      ^ No, there are multiple posts highlighting the fact that Saab's have great motors but are powering the wrong wheels. It's a RWD.

                          ^ Awesome, it has the same B234 swap too.

                          Wonder why it has SMG paddes though?

                            Yep. And, I think it's a "fuh raze" thing. They may control Line lock or some other electronics, but look at the trans he uses.

                            Looks like it's just looks.

                              If you read more of the thread, one is a NOS switch and the other functions as some sort of antilag control for launching. That's quite a build...
