    My LS3 E30 build

    Hey guys! Here’s the E30 I’m working on! I know I know, LS swaps are gross, but the car is being built as a road trip/ canyon carver car and you can’t beat that power/reliability. Hoping to get it on the road in the next few weeks!

    Here’s a few of the things done to it:

    - LS3 w/ t56
    - Garagistic secondary diff mount
    - Garagistic raised subframe bushings
    - FC RX7 big brake upgrade
    - BC racing coilovers
    - 7twenty style 44 15x9
    - original mtech 2 kit fitted on early model
    - toyo proxies r1r 225/45/15
    - interior will be burgundy leather with white stitching
    - and so much more but that’s all I can think of right now!

    I really like the color. Keep up the good work. But why spend all of this money on everything and then go with FC brakes? Willwood setup won't fit your 15" wheels?

    Could be better, could be worse.

      The FC brakes are a bit of a upgrade or the added power but don’t cost a whole lot. Don’t have too much money to spend!

          I enjoy this color as well! Is it just my eyes playing tricks or do you have some crazy amount of rear toe in?

            AWDBOB ya it had a very messed up amount of toe in for that show. I ended up needing to raise the car up another inch or so and it is a lot closer to spec
