All black everything

damn dude, this is an awesome thread! I can't wait to see how everything comes along. Fantastic build!

You say E30 M3's are going to be very rare in 10 years, yet your shoving a stroked 325 motor in a good shell:hitler::hitler::hitler:

[Uber E30]

Wow you're pretty retarded. An engine can be swapped in and out at will but the shell will always be the same. Also learn to read, its an m3 engine

The block was originally an s50 that i had bored/honed

[M-technik-3]

Engine swaps are no biggies if you keep the S14 for later to swap back in. In general they are worth less money as you know to collectors and enthusiasts.

Love the Powdercoated subframes, no more rust there. What did that cost? I can't imagine all that much.

Don't go too big with wheels, it really dampens the spirit of an E30 to run heavy wheels. I have system II and like them as they are somewhat lightweight but the tires offset the savings.

[Uber E30]

Yeah i am going e39 style 5's with 215/40/17 all around. The PC was 100 per item, and i had taken 3 things there (subframes and my valve cover thats wrinkle black). The calipers cost me 50 each, so over all 500 at the powder coaters but i figure im not taking this stuff off for a while so may as well do it while the car is out of commission anyways.

[M-technik-3]

Agreed. My car is under the knife right now as well. I have a box of stuff to be brought to the coater. I hope to get most of my under chassis stuff done soon.

Using spares though and then replace when assembling.

He's calling the S50 a glorified M50, which it kind of is. But there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm with you, and this has been beaten to death. The S14 is a great motor, but the extra output of an S50 outweighs its one shortcoming (weight).

[Uber E30]

Well i stroked it to 3.2, i think he thinks i started with a 2.5 though.

single throttle body... check.
same head as M50... check.
single oil pump pickup... check
single vanos... check
same DME as M50... check
same lifters as M50... check
same intake manifold as M50... check


Brosiph, i did not attack you, please do not call me a retard, or tell me that i need to read.

I don't care what you say that motor is, the genesis of what you call that M3 motor is a punched out 325 engine. I also don't care who beat what S14/S50 argument to death; an E30 M3 with an S14 engine driven well is something special. Your POR 15 sled will be nothing more than a 325 with fat fenders, a 5 lugs swap and a torquey-no-skill-needed-to-drive-fast-stroked M50.

[Uber E30]

WTF are you talking about my parents buying me a HG?!?! You must really have problems reading. Also you're whole argument about it being a 325 is stupid. Are you calling all e36/e46 m3's 325s/328's as well? I also dont care what my car will ever sell for because guess what... i dont want to sell it. Get over your m3 envy and GTFO.

[everlast]

Wow, feelin' the love.

[Miasma]

Someone has some sand in their vag, And it isn't the OP that is for damn sure.

haha, I got the POR 15 build mixed up with the $300 M3 build, my bad Bromiester.

Believe me, i do NOT envy your M3.

[Uber E30]

then dont post here

[PaladinReed]

My question is, whats wrong with the kid bringing a rotted out M3 back to life? Would you have rather have let it rot back into the earth than to see it back on the road? These are not concours car and NEVER could be whats wrong with how they are being rejuvenated? Just chill and let the man build his car...

bromeister.... :roll:
