My E30: an LS3 Powered 1991 318iS

[OldDrunkenSailor]

As much as it removes my cell phone from its cradle, my father's glasses from his head, and generally changes your angle of seat pretty well, the more I drive the car, the more I think that it should be going quicker.

After I add an Android phone running Torque to the center display (up top), a tablet to the center stack, and redo the leather int., I'll have to think of some tuning that can be done without taking out the entire engine block. We haven't done any mods to the LS3, so I imagine that there's a lot more room for it to gain some HP/torque.

this is a beauty, looks like a fun build.

It is sooo easy to make big power on LS engines. Just a cam swap alone can be a huge gain. I hope yo one day do my own LS E30

If I had that car...I would hug and kiss the engine every night before I went to bed.

Doood. Love the LS3 setup. Friends at home in the SF Bay area that build Mazda FDs have moved from LS1 to LS3 and now onto LS7s. Your e30 sounds sick. I've only driven an FD with an LS1 and can't imagine what it feels like in your e30 because... I felt like super man drivin in the FD :) Hopefully will drive the newest FD with the LS7 in two weeks! Looking forward to following your mods on the LS3.

Haha, thanks for the support, guys! Just got an MTech2 steering wheel from Latvia of all places, will make sure to put up pictures when it's in.

Just bought the tools to start prototyping the tablet integration too!

So you gonna come out to more of our meets? ;)

A few of us went to the Toy Run over the weekend and met the guy who bought your M42 off you for his E21.

Ha, I was actually going to post in that thread today! I always remember that it exists on tuesday night after the fact.

Is it still going down with this weather? I'm getting a rattle from my front-right suspension so I doubt I'm going to drive it anywhere but to the shop as it is, but I still want to do the meetings. Was thinking that we could do a trivia team potentially since we intrinsically have a sort of group and it's indoors.

Please straight pipe your car.

It sounds pretty perfect as it is, no need :)
