A look at things to come

[Matt-B]

Last I saw that clutch was sitting outside no?

it sat in moms trunk and in shop and rusted, then i set it outside.

If you paid blunt using strictly google checkout, you can ask him how much you've spent with him to date and he'll tell you the exact amount. I did it a few weeks ago and then I thought of all the things I could have spent with that money. But then I laughed and remembered how it was going to get spent on the e30 regardless.

Ill do it for giggles

Same here, I'm not adding up everything I've spent. I'm replacing A LOT of stuff, as well as did a bunch of things that most swaps probably don't do (whole tranny resealed and filled, new steering rack, engine bay stuff, powdercoating of a lot of parts, replacing a lot of parts with new, etc). I'm going to estimate around $2-3k (including the motor) when everything is finished and on the road, but that's as far as I'm going.

lots of my cost is paint, powdercoat etc to, id estimate 1500-1700 with exhaust

My estimation for my S50 so far? Try closer to $6,000.

I done got fuckered though.

how much was your s50 motor?

Hard to say. I did the whole package thing which for having half taken apart in under 3 months of driving it very, very gently is a bit disappointing, frustrating and shitty.

The entire package was $4,400 total.

not bad.

Got new spark plugs, and replaced the the fuel lines and tiny vacuum lines for intake and FPR etc.

Then I dropped another $800 into it. Yup.

[Matt-B]

[sweet6e30]

^ yikes

[Matt-B]

does anyone know anything about fine tooth and big tooth flywheels, I have a fine tooth, and all the starters I have are for big tooth wheels

[trackjunkie21]

I don't think you can use the eta flywheel, thought they where all dual mass? Btw, what are you using for shift linkage? Everyone has something different to say.

[Matt-B]

e30 320i shift linkage, its the correct way to go

[ahriley91]

I don't know about correct, just the easiest. I just shortened mine.

machined flywheel, just came back :D

You mean resurfaced? I already had that thing machined and lightened for a swap. So you are misleading by saying $35. You were just getting rid of the surface rust. :-|

[Matt-B]

Yea I meant resurfaced, sorry.
