      ahhhhh I was waiting for the big reveal! Still looks like it rips in that video with the replacement engine.

      Seems to be cleaning up nicely..... just seats/wheels/decklid is a big transformation

        That old picture is badass. Look guys, a TWO car garage can actually fit two cars. Nice come up OP. So wild how cars have got so much larger over the years.

              That was a cool video!

              It's interesting that a m20b27 bottom end with an m20b25 885 head pulls on a seta. I assume the seta has a better compression ratio, but a worse cam profile. How does the budget stroker hold up against a stock m20b25? After all my machining work, I really hope my 2.7i is noticeably quicker than a seta!

                Dont talk about the Elan that way!

                McGyver The car has a lightweight flywheel, I believe from Ireland Engineering and likely has a bit less weight than the SuperETA swapped late model. MrBurg will be the victim of what this car will do against a Stock M20B25. I will have the GoPro mounted aiming backwards LOL

                Figured I would take it to the end-of-the-month BMW GTG known as the Mid-City gtg



                Was nice being there in an E30 again.

                This is Trey's car that just got repainted and will be receiving the 2.9L that was originally in this car. I will have to bully him into sharing the car here.

                  Ahh, but your car had 2 people in it and the seta car only had one. I would assume the seta car had a decent weight advantage.

                  That meet looks awesome! I need to start getting out in Philly now that my car seems reliable. (300 miles on the new head and 60 on the new oil pan) Plus, it's cooling off so the lack of AC isn't an issue anymore.

                    I'm curious to see what a "junkyard" 2.7i can do

                      Yayyyyy. Running E30s are cool.

                      Now get an Mtech 1 kit or at least euro bumbners so I can vicariously live through you.
