[Wh33lhop]

Sick. You will LOVE that motor. It is FANTASTIC in an E30.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Mother of God.

I LOVE what you've done with the place.

[DER E30]

Stance looks freaking nailed. :up: My car would love to be yours' twin...

[pilotskillse30]

Bravo!!

[MR 325]

Those RC's do look amazing though... ;)

Nice work! Glad you got it all sorted out.

[nando]

nice! I'm glad we solved the last issue with your motor. Will be interesting to see what Frank can do with it. :)

Any idea how much the car weighs right now? Looks like the interior might be fairly gutted. Also what rollbar is that and what are your thoughts on it?

This car looks mean as fuq. I would not want to mess with it

edit: Oh and you need to just buy euro trim and be done with the stupid NA side markers

[totheredline]

Damn sexy right there

[Jb325is]

Thanks for the kind words!

With the m30 the car weighed 2550 with 1/4 tank and it has a back half cage in it. I'd like to have the front done soon, but I still want to drive it on the street, haven't quite made up my mind on that.

Nando, going to the dyno today so we'll see how it is. It's running pretty well now, a couple weird things here and there but it's close

[MissRay]

Thanks!

Sure what do you want to know? Most of the swap is the same as an m5x/s5x, the hard part is the wiring and the ecu stuff, I did the harness myself using FredK's diagram (thanks!) and Nando did the flash.

The exhaust is stupid loud, way too loud for the street so I'll be putting another muffler on it soon. Right now it only has a single round Borla in the center of the car. I'll get a video of it on the dyno tomorrow

I also want to thank Dave at Markert Motorworks, he helped me out a good bit and knows a ton about s54 swaps

Did you do a complete ews delete or virginized dme keeping all the ews parts?

[acolella76]

Weird, my pants got really tight all of a sudden.

Congrats on getting it done! Now you must post burnout videos

[darvo]

Wheel/tire specs Plz? I have the same brake setup e46M front and rear discs, e46M front calipers, and e39 rears. I'm thinking of Arc8's on 17x9....

Beautiful car!

i would do filthy, filthy things to have access to the funds for an s54.

thats pretty light! That puts it around 2600 with a full tank. It is pretty gutted inside? Looks like the back area is pretty bare and I noticed the panels are gone too.

Beast!!
