What to do now....

[nando]

that doesn't count though, I seriously doubt your whole undercarriage and suspension is covered in rust, like any car from the northeast will be. I have a little rust around the lip where the trunk gasket goes now, because the stupid cheap POS gasket I got on ebay started to come apart and the metal band inside is rusting (only 2 years old!). :(

eta's are different here. higher compression and different combustion chambers. the 2.0 shares the combustion chamber design with the eta and the valve configuration and design of the 2.5. I'm not sure but I don't think there's anyone running 235 hp out of a stroker without turbo stateside. I could be understanding my guy wrong, but I dunno.... you guys know a bit more bout it than I do.

There is no rust under my car... its quite pretty down there.

marak you are saying your car has 235hp?

[marakka]

No sir.... but the potential. 11.0 CR will do wonders.

[Digitalwave]

I don't think you'd do too well with an 11:1 M20 on American pump gas anyways.

[marakka]

*LOL* Guess we'll have to see..... its running on american pump gas now.....

[Digitalwave]

How do you know its 11:1?

[marakka]

Stock numbers. I'm sure its not exactly an 11.0 setup, but its more than a normal eta stroker setup. It might have the 10.3 low end in it. Its hard to tell. Maybe mike will chime in and let us know what the differences are here....

Throw the 2.7L m0nstar in your coupe, ship it home. Sell your 2.5L in germany. Ditch the rust bucket, its a fucking wagon for gods sake.

[jht3]

i've been told by a reputable source any car can be imported to the states if it's missing its engine. so pull the motor and ship them seperately, then reassemble upon delivery stateside

that's how noble's get here

my touring > your touring

my touring > your touring

lol

you can always just put a cat in it and ship it to canada. then from there get it to the u.s. you have 3 options: pull the motor and import it (i'm not familiar with this at all), bring it right from germany to the U.S. ($7300 fee through a RI)

or

ship it to canada, register it there, and drive it over. then do what jordan was talking about.

[RobertK]

Pull and pack as many parts including the engine and transmission, importing it as a "parts car", and then do what Jordan says.

I have a cousin that is living in Frankfurt with his wife who is in the military that might buy it off you. Let me see if I can give him a call.

[marakka]

All you guys and your my touring > your touring

my tourings price > your tourings price

TAKE THAT! *LOL*

Give it time my friend. With mikeedlers help it'll look sexy.... Mmmhmmm Its got parts waiting on it. Just gotta do the paperwork and get my current e30 out of my name.... then the insurance and registration. Oh yeah.... gotta finish paying for it. *LOL* It'll be done by Feb i think..... or well on its way. We'll see.

[marakka]

Woah woah woah... I don't wanna sell it. *LOL* I JUST got it.

[ColdAccord]

price depends on supply and demand. my car is already in the states, lol

just joking around though.

get your car slammed,s ome nice wheels, and take pics. I'm trying to decide if I want to remove my pinstripe. you can be my model. lol
