OMG! I brought the new conversion home last night!

Looks great, but I agree w/ Matt, they coulda atleast taken 10 minutes to wash the car and an hour or so to clean the bay while they were there.

I agree too-and while they were at it, they should have at least attempted to get the front M Tech II bumper/valence installed straight and reinstall the hood in with the proper alignment.

Not trying to put your car down by any means-I think overall it looks great and I admire you for putting all that money into the car to make it something special-but for that kind of money TSA should have taken care of some of those small details.

Enjoy your 'new' car!

Nice car! Can't believe that for 10k they wouldn't wash the car and clean the engine bay though!

[Unleashed603]

why no M50 manifold? and you might want to do something with that hot air intake you got. Maybe a heat shield?

Awesome car though man.

[KillaCams]

Swap looks good but after seeing those pics im definitely doing my own swap. I want to take the time to clean EVERYTHING meticulously, engine and engine bay. Spray paint/powdercoat engine parts etc.

And yes Austin VeeDub has lots of E30/BMW parts.... Lots. TSA does great work though, I wont argue that.

Thats cool I guess I have a new spot to look for parts.

[SpecM]

^ me too. Nice e30, stormspike, congrats

[Farbin Kaiber]

I'm diggin those sides.

[Turf1600]

To be fair, Terry was completely disinterested in our conversation until I told him I owned a 1600.

[Miasma]

Tsa has been good with me Ive bought a few things from them definetly no s52 swap but they were cool especially when I kept calling them with questions about my five speed swap. But does Austin veedub really have e30 parts? Thats like 5 minutes from my house.

That's cool, I don't like those guy's. They only care what you have to say if you give them lots of money. Austin Veedub was really cool and really helpful and they are a fucking VW place, And they had no Iidea I had cash for a motor. Nor did TSA, But that's not the point.

Your car looks badass mang! Need some new wheels on that thing.

[stormspike]

That 14k included a lot of extra than just the swap. 2k for suspension (koni, IE, new sways, bushings, etc). It also included install, etc of the body pieces (mtech sides, etc). Also, new brakes, wiring, 5 speed swap for inside. I had over 4 printed pages of parts that were 5k of that total (besides engine).

[Funkmasta]

Don't forget that 14k includes likely 2-3k of suspension and other work...

[golde30]

ouch. 14K and its still OBDII? i think my swap looks cleaner and i did it in my garage. im sure its fun to drive none-the-less.

[deutschman]

very nice car!
