300$ e30

That cam will smash your pistons unless you have an adjustable cam gear.

That's what Mike is saying.

Okay man.

[Kershaw]

looks alot like my $400 e30.

same paint job. haha.

Its happened to multiple cars. Hopefully it works out for you.

good luck. good buy, i'd say you have more than enough left to put it back together again with JY parts and such.

if you ask me you paid about 200 too much for it. that car is going to break you before it ever looks really good.-- it is a good starting point though if you do know alot about these cars and have a painter as a best friend.

It's funny you mention that, I actually do have a painter friend.

Your interior is a sh*t ton cleaner than mine too. If it has rust all you need to know is how to grind and weld. Danny, usually when you put a hotter cam in you have to adjust the timing as well as get new timing gears/chain and I'm pretty sure MR E30 325is knew to do that.

Everything will be pretty clean after I'm done with it, I decided that I'm going to strip this bitch down and restore everything. Then do a M50 swap :D

I'm stripping everything in the interior and putting in 1 Bride racing seat and caging it. Then a Turbo'ed M30 swamp :P Atleast you can work on your car longer than me, I leave late next month for the Army.

Yeah but when you get back you'll have some good dough saved up to just blow on your E30. :P What's your MOS going to be?

Make a build thread! Would love to follow this!

Good luck with the Army man. You leaving for basic or deployment?

Active Army, Guard or Reserve?

by breaking you i meant "break your bank" you are going to go poor just replacing the little crap.

I have put a 290 cam in a 325 with everything stock- a 284 i know will do nothing to harm the motor.

best of luck with it. it would be nice to see it completed one day- just don't let it burn you out.

Well, no matter how long or difficult it will be, I'm committed.
