M30b34 E30 twin-screw supercharged muscle car

[Ether-D]

It does. It's paused currently while I revive the Porsche. It is next I think. Or it may become one of those "life's work" kinda deals, where I work on it off and on for perpetuity, never finishing, and when I die, one of my kids finishes it…

Does this thing still exist?

If you do use the SS, most people will think its a muscle car thing.

That's what I was hoping for.

I did consider that, but it just felt wrong somehow.

FN cool build man! props

Thanks mang.

Why not "Si" so you can make folks wonder if you're a reformed Honda guy or an affable Mexican (or both)?

If I put "si" on my BMW, I'd just be in denial about being a reformed Honda guy…

Now if I was a spanish speaker, I'd have to add a question mark as well. 335? Si

It's decided. It'll be the 327s going to Le Brodeo.

Now, should this thing be called a 335s or a 335ss? I figure going with the muscle car thing, "ss" could be funny/cool. Though, it being a German car, is "SS" offensive because of the whole Hitler thing?
I got custom "335" emblem from this thread. I just ordered a "335" and an "s", but I could get another s from him.

[Ether-D]

Mmmk. I'll get after something. Wether it be the 335s or the 327s. Something will go to Le Brodeo.

Shame me into working on this thing!

It HAS been ridiculously and unusually cold here this year, with the sole exception of the first weekend in February when the stars aligned, at least for me...

Hayes will be taking an E30 to the Brodeo and you will not, unless you get off your ass and get to work.

I don't think I ever heard that engine run. It was form a car my brother obtained and parted out due to severe rust issues, bu as far as I recall he drove the car home, and I knew he considered it worth hanging onto (until he got rid of his e30). I would be confident enough in it to throw it in and fire it up (particularly being an eta and all), especially if you checked a main and it looked good as well.

Not to mention that it's probably colder INSIDE my garage WITH heaters running than it is outside where you live! You've got no excuse!



BTW, I'm still waiting for my half of the BFF's necklace. ;)

Idk man, it's been crazy cold here as of late. It sleeted 2" with a layer of freezing rain on top and that shit stayed for over a week. That's full on unheard-of here. That's certainly not my excuse, my excuse is lack of motivation because of excess self medication this winter (because of not working on car). Ciiiiiiircle of liiiiiiiife.

And you'll get your necklace when this motor runs and doesn't knock… Speaking of which, was it a good running solid motor when you pulled it? I just want to know if I should give her a full on rebuild (bearings) or just a re-gasketing before I do the switcharoo. I think the rings and cylinders look marvelous. The crosshatching in there looks as defined and perfect as I've ever seen. I also pulled one of the main bearings and it looked just fine as well.

My driveshaft shows up on Tuesday. After that it's just welding the downpipe to the cat, and charging up the battery to get my m30 swap rolling. And I started my swap after you.

Go get a move on! It's going to be summer before you know it.

meh.
