I've been hunting for E30s.
I have spotted a delphin grey coupe with a ridiculous asking price but that is not the point.
It has a 1JZ-GE auto in it. I was thinking to swap in a 1JZ-GTE manual, big single. Big ideas and dreams. 550 whp. Crazy sick stuff.
Bad idea? I'd spare 8k-10k maximum for something like this. It seems stupid but I don't know how difficult it would be if there was a 1JZ-GE in it before.
The reason why I am asking is that it's a 2-3 hour drive to there. But I really love the look of the car.
The car photos are here.
It's the local used car website. If you got google chrome I think you'd be able to catch up to what cars are there.
On the other hand I can keep looking. Find an SR20DET powered one for cheaper.
If you are thinking why am I not even considering a BMW motor, M40 and M10 powered ones were the only ones that made it here. Over half the cars being sold are SR20DE powered. BMW parts are expensive here.
SR20DET powered E30 or 1JZ-GTE swap?
