Props to you for hard work and determination.

At least your car doesnt look like this..

to be honest out of this car and his I would rather drive this one.

turbo

its not all that hard to swap in a 5 speed and i am going to turbo it. And if you would rather drive that i dont really need any comments from ya because your either blind or ride the small school bus.

I think he mean lols?

When I saw this on max I was curious if you posted it here. I don't have any new opinions to bring to this thread however.

I just wish I could paint.

?

Just wondering how much a 5 speed swap will run me? also, when i can afford new wheels, any serious suggestions on something that will look good.

i hope this is posted on eMOtech also, so they can make you feel better with meaningless props and positive comments....

Seriously you are going to have to remove that rear bumper. Get some nice wide wheels, and put a big intercooler up front, and you can pull it off, but the rear has to go. It's going to break off when you go over a speed-bump or down an incline anyway, because it is so disproportionately low compared to the rest of your car.

Also, I hope whoever sprayed it put more than one coat of clear. Its dull and needs to be worked. You need to wetsand that entire car with 2000 grit sand paper, then buff with a wool pad and medium/high grit compound, then work it with a foam pad and some low compound. That paint is dull and looks like shizz, but it can be polished.

I'm speechless to say the least...and I don't really rag on anyone's whip.

I am however curious to see where this goes...

Ok i will ride this bumper out till it gets trashed , then what bumper would you suggest going with? i want to keep the front, what would match up well with it? any kits you know of that have a decently priced rear bumper?

[mattdk318i]

if you were closer i would have given you my Diving boards. Tucked and painted black they would look better. But if you remove both bumpers id go with M-tech1. Theres a few parts here and there you can buy. You dont have to buy them all at once

Nice job on putting in work. Get that m10 out of there though...

And here is an example of a "different" e30 that looks good:
