My new E30...

Quick update

Haven't done a whole lot to the bimmer for a while, but I'm putting together the pieces for a nice engine swap. The VW truck is no more, but it has since been replaced by an S-10. More updates with engine swap details to follow.

Very well done. The car was pretty clean to begin with, but you've really made a winner out of it. Any more engine bay pics in the works?

Thanks for the comments! I haven't done a whole lot to the engine bay since the last few pictures, but I can take some new ones. I've got big plans for her in the coming months, but I've got to finish my '81 VW Rabbit Pickup first, so I've got something to drive while I'm working on her.

I was just casual at laughlin till last march, and I didn't DD my car so you might have never seen it. I'm a Nav, and was in SA for training, I'll be headed to Offutt next week for the RC-135. GL with the c-130, those are awesome planes!

Cool, you'll be doing a lot of flying!

I remember seeing your car at laughlin. Have you gotten your jet yet? I was the other black turbo e30 on that base, besides ken.

Shit, don't think I knew there was another turbo e30 running around at Laughlin. What're you doing up in SA now? I tracked 44s to Corpus, so I should get some form of 130. There's a chance Ken and I will be flying together at some point.

Thanks, my driver's side fender has a few door dings, but other than that, the body is in great shape. Need more power now...

you should of kept both!!! hahah good turn out for the e30, but seeing yours and your FC.. .something bout the e30 that draws me to it, but dont get me wrong both great cars, and both of my favorite ones too!! good job keep it up

that ls1 swap looks very good. impressed.

if my 13b ever goes, i'll definitely be leaning there. the rx8s transmission is really weak too. so a ls1+t56 would be awesome.

The LS1/T56 combo is a pretty trustworthy/proven swap. And hell, it's an immediate HP/torque increase. The weak point then becomes your diff.

dude your car looks exactly like mine

Pictures of yours?!
