Finally finished my motor swap!

[e30polak]

Fuck yes!!!!


You kept the 9's and put proper sized tires on them!!! :D:D:D

Must be fun with that motor. Is it putting down the same power as it was in your e34?

[downernsp]

Sick with it!! I like. M30 engines are tanks and power is firme. Congrats!!!!!

[Eurospec]

Very nice work!

Stance and wheel setup is spot on... good job.

[browntown]

you've convinced me to throw some blue loctite on my caliper bolts.

[sandlock]

good to see it done, nice.

[e30polak]

We need an exhaust clip! :hitler:

I remember the one of the set-up in your e34 sounded beastly! :twisted:

top 5 cars on r3v, yours is one!

Sweet car, looks perfect. The engine looks great in there.

For what it's worth, I had the same caliper bolt back out on me twice (after being torqued properly) before I went hit it with some loctite. Both times the caliper came off while driving, but just kind of skated on the inside of the wheel. I could modulate the brakes well enough to get to a safe stopping point, but that was not fun.. Ususally that is the result of a cracked carrier, but that wasn't the issue with mine. Glad you are alright!

I did, I'm glad too. I really like the way the 225's look on the 9's. The smaller diameter really bothered with the 215's, especially in the front, but I can deal with it this way.

There are a couple really short exhaust clips on youtube posted by user- jweb03. I need to get some better ones though because there isn't really anything over 5000rpm on there

I don't know about that but thanks a lot!

Yep, same thing happened to me. It grooved the inside of the wheel for like half a second, I heard it and tried to ebrake the car but I guess the groove got deep enough and caught.. It was pretty violent when this happened. The carrier was so heavily damaged from that incident there's no way to tell if it was damaged beforehand. It'd be good to know what happened though, because I'm not positive that the caliper bolts were left loose. We just had like 3 people working on the car in a frenzy so I was assuming that's what happened

Well that's a good thing that the potentially hazardous carrier was destroyed anyway. Yeah, if you are driving and the bottom bolt backs out, the caliper/carrier can wedge itself against the wheel--- that's not good. Luckily (not really 'lucky', but better than the alternative) my top bolt backed out so the caliper was just riding on the inside of the wheel.

Definitely not as scary as having your master cylinder crap out in 5 o'clock traffic :).

The stance is completely on point!
I love everything about this car.

[getouth]

Nice Car!!! Any idea on hp#'s? Does it have A/C?

[formula driver]

That wheel looks messy...

Glad you got it sorted, car looks really good and Im sure its very find to drive!

[SimplyDope]

Sweet car! Good taste.
