    Sell the vert and put whatever engine you decide on in a sedan (all e30's are sedans). Not worth the time in a vert imo.

      Im going to say build the engine you want but keep the cabrio. I have no shame saying that my cabrio has its original M20 and an auto. Its reliable, runs perfect, and drop topped when the weather is nice makes life grand. Now my coupe is just the same, reliable and runs perfect, but its also my toy/project. It has an M50 and loves to been driven with spirit. It is also my daily only because its so much fun!

      So what I am saying...2 cars, 2 different purposes. Build your engine and wait for a nice coupe shell to throw it in.

        Personally I'm not a fan of most e30 verts, so I say sell it.

        But the practical side of me says what do you enjoy doing more? Cruising or having a fun mildly built street car.

            HA!
            done making deals with him, great guy, but need my own projects. can't get jealous of his.


            anyway, i bought the motor i want. its going to machine shop soon. idk what car it is going in though lol.

            if my car sells this weekend, then i have a few lined up. might trade also.
            if i still have the vert come monday, well then the motor is going in the vert.

            yeah buddy!

                really? were you there with joe and adam? nope.
                me and joe put a m20 in the black car first, that motor got sold. joe found a e30 that had a m50 in it, bought that car and moved the swap into the vert.

                i was there. i was there when we first started it, i was there for the first drive with no front seat or seat belts or brakes.

                just cause it wasn't my car at the time doesn't mean i didn't contribute.

                real talk, BITCH!

                      Everyone cries about the negatives of NOS, but I rather be able to DD my car like a normal person, but turn on the bottle warmer when a wrx pulls up and have the power to smash him, instead of dealing with a turbo.


                      But remember this is r3v, most of us talk like we know everything and know nothing, so research for yourself and make a choice. I bet you won't do it...most people who ask this shit don't end up following through.
                      I think you should nos it. haha.

                              Fuck all the modifying ideas, 318ic's are very rare, and especially in maritsaublau. I would keep it stock since it's gonna be a summer day cruiser anyways. Put it in the garage and preserve that shit for 10 years. Vintage car fans will be bidding high for it. Only dudes will give a sh** if it's fast, chicks love any cabrio. Just my 2 cents :)
