I believe the GTR stands for 'Got Three YeaRs?'

America's Most Wanted Hot Dog... what is it?

Wienerschnitzel of course.










then again it looks like they've changed their slogan to 'World's Most Wanted Wiener'

[chadthestampede]

I don't even like hot dogs.

No updates because I've been rushing through this swap at a dead sprint due to the fact that my lease on my apt/garage is up on the 31st. I want it driveable by then.

The good news is that the engine and everything is in the car, assembled.

The bad news is when I tried a preliminary start today my wiring started smoking.

You mean your "Bang More Women" E30? I believe that was standard with most variations of E30....except for that "GTR" one.

Some more pics:

These came in the other day from Blunt tech:



my box of ellipsoid parts:



my work area:



these may go on the car, I haven't decided yet:



new boot from blunt and a k&n filter I got for super cheap off amazon



b35 exhaust manifolds and downpipes. Have to get an o2 bung welded on there.



finally got the exhaust studs out, what a pain



too bad my jack doesn't fit under the car anymore



most of the front suspension stuff was replaced by the PO, part of the reason I bought the car. The treehouse cabs look kind of conspicuous though





fog light blanks from blunt



Interior is full of shit



I'm just putting a stock exhaust on the car for now, as I had one in decent condition



Car is also extremely dirty.



I fucked up the cluster face trying to get the trim rings out (don't ask) so I hit it with some undercoating because I had some lying around. I think it looks okay. I have like 4 extra clusters anyway if I get bored with it.




These arrived on my doorstep right as I was going in to get ready to leave for Syracuse.




Thanks again blunt.



Going to the Syracuse Brewfest this weekend today so nothing will get done this weekend. I'm trying to have this running by G-fest.

[Schwarz325]

I'm kinda digging those rings, i think it looks good, i'd leave them on :D.

Turns out I fucked up the timing 180 degrees when I put the head on, much to my chagrin. It took me a few weeks of troubleshooting to figure that one out.

So today when I popped the head off there is a nice little score on the top of each piston from the valves. Fuck.
