New here. Working on the 2nd e30

so are you basing your dislike of the m50/s50 family from your experience with a non-vanos m50 in an e36? that like saying you hate sex because you've only fucked a 250 lb woman.

haha yes and no. Yes most of my hatred is due to the performance (or lack thereof) in the e36. I have been in loonibab's car and it is a BEAST. But again, he dumped and arm and a leg into that thing. I do respect the m/s50 swapped cars, but for the money, I don't see any benefit.

I think if you were to do a m30 swap you would have more problems with that motos than to do a m50 swap less miles. Plus its a clean swap then most other swap. And the m30 swaps are very heavy...... so either keep the m20 or do a m50 bro

[yert315]

I am set on doing the m30 swap. Just because it's an older motor doesn't mean the reliability is low. The m30 motors are near bullet proof.
Like I said, I can get the motor/trans for an excellent price. The power to $$ ratio is something I can't turn away from. It's actually a fairly simple swap. It's also only 50lbs heavier than an m20. Delete the a/c and there is no weight difference.

Thanks for lookin out though :up:

yeah. the m30 really is bulletproof, you can't argue with that. the m50/s50 motors are a marvel of engineering and are just so at home in the e30. i understand about the $$ thing. i drove blunt's e30 after he did an s52 swap and after that i just couldn't do anything except my own s52 swap. i would suggest not driving one unless you're prepared to drop the coin for one ;-)

[xlr8rbob]

nice to see you make it over kid.

dont be shy about asking the m30 section guys questions. they know their shit. wouldnt have been able to finish mine without this forum.

cant wait to get my hands dirty in that new ride.

oh i know. I was in Loonibab's car and that thing is insane. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have it, but for the amount of money he spent, I could have 3 cars.

I'm really looking forward to this swap. Thanks again for the welcomes!

dick.

LOLOL

but yo, i think a m30 swap is a great choice, cause i've been in ^ bobs car (lol!) and that thing has some balls too (Even though bob likes to drive like a grandma).

For the price he paid the swap was definitely worth it, your little plan with the PNP m30 is great, just let me know when you want to go pull that sone of a bitch and lets get this swap on the road man!!

photo shoot afterwords is a must!

oh btw, i saw your ass driving @ school today, fag.

I had no idea there was more than one late model car with an early 'is' valance installed. Is it hard to do? Also, in the second pic it looks like the valance conforms more naturally with the wheel arch than in the first. How is that?

[yert315]

^^ I bought the car with the bumpers already installed. The guy attached it with sheet metal screws and painted over them. The entire car was pretty much ghetto rigged. The fitment is off because he had chrome 19's (I know, how the hell do they fit!?) and apparently took a chunk off when he took a sharp turn.

[EvoStevo]

It's an interesting look. If I ever find a valance like that in good enough shape in a yard, I think I'm gonna have to experiment.

[fiercee30]

idk i am kinda liking the m30 after i saw xlr8rbobs car its sounds sick idk about the 200hp i think i need a little more.

[shmutzigE30]

looks like itll be a good build
