[AdironRider]

Sweet man! Your going to scrape on everything though.

[Digitalwave]

Looking pretty good (the engine that is). I like your new sig pic. You got that swap done FAST!

[DanGillan]

haha yea it is my DD. that starter issue put me back 2 weeks but that's becuase i didnt know what to check next. once i finally went back and worked on it it started right up, so 2 weeks wasted but no biggie. i needed my DD back baaad. im loving it now! fuck m20's

[bwanac]

Shit. That is some scaary shit. I dont think I could drive my car like that.

Awesome work. I can only remember a little back when Greg's car with the M50 was new and all. Now you got one. Good thing I am heading home tomorow, finally get to drive my car after two semesters of schooling!

scraping the ground is soo emo.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Nice work Dan, what did you hit though?

[delphini]

hey dan congrats on an awesome machine!!!!

[nottoocleanbmw]

great job man. how long did it take you to do the swap? did you have people helping out?

[Rob]

dude, the 24v is way played.

[DanGillan]

without the 2 weeks i couldnt work on it, i spent about 6 weeks from the moment i decided to do the swap until i was done. and that's while running into a small starting issue and sourcing all the parts during all this, without waiting on parts or any issues, this swap could be done in a week or two of work. i had help, but only when i needed to do something big like guide the engine in or toss in the trans, i was really the only one working on it. and yes. m50's are overplayed.

i don't think that you should say "fuck m20ies" cause they're better then m50ies! Cost-wise w/ performance upgrades you can do to it! And I think it's more reliable and is a TRUE ENGINE.
P.S. doesn't apply to m52/s50/52

[FredK]

TRUE ENGINE?!?! as opposed to a FAKE ENGINE, like the M50? More reliable? M20 timing belt anyone? Broken rocker arms? Hole through block, as in Scott and Dan's experience?

[PУCCKAЯ_e30ka]

well.... first of all, I never said that M50 was a fake engine, in my opinion, m20 is more of a true engine becuase of it's rawness and oldiness.... also here one might interpret it differently, as for reliability all I can say is: Do your maintenance right and know its limits.. I never seen M50 go as long on milage as m20ies...

[DanGillan]

sorry man, i could say much more, but i'll leave it at: you are 100% wrong, just stop before you become more wrong.
