Ummm probably. They are a temp fix anyway. When my card gets paid down from what parts I did purchase, I plan on going with a turbo from blueapplesoda. And I've been trying to use as much cash as possible on this build so lucky for me there's only around six hundred on my card thus far, and the car is almost driving. But yeah your probably right.

Dont do it. I bought OBX headers on ebay and the fitment is horrible. I got them for a budget build so its not a big deal. But yeah it shouldnt take ratchet straps, pry bars, sledge hammer, and a block of wood to make some headers and an x pipe work.

To get these headers to fit by prying and bending, doesnt this create stress points that'll ruin the mounting area and piping over.time?

I only see seven pages n00b.

Those I've heard is actually really good?!

18 pages in ten days! Thats gotta be some sort of record. Welcome and congrats on your purchase/project. You got any sisters?

Ok, skimming through this thread... I could care less if its a girl, guy or he/she that has this. I've been around cars all my life. Granted i'm only 32. But the painting of an engine bay a different color other then black or body color? I'm sorry but there has been some stupid trends, and i hope this dont catch on... Unless i missed something where the rest of the car will be swimming pool blue? But if not, i think the op needs to get these wheels off of this guy here to put on her car, http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=217253

The one upside to this is that someone is working on it and posting up progress through out the build.! And the op is showing some tuffness by sticking around.

You have found the definitive source for information and discussion of BMW’s legendary e30 3-series sedan.

Take some time and look around, and visit our many forums. If you are new, please make use of the search feature before you ask a question. Enjoy your stay.

Does this build coincide with the mantra above? If you were planning to buy an e30, would this build push you to do it?
Or would this build?

Just saying.

How many people criticize this and have an m20/m42 lol

Yeah, you're right. I am going to swap A x50-x54, just like every High School kid in here has decided to do. Na, I'll stick with an m20. And you won't care b/c it's "antiquated", and will never make the power a newer BMW motor can. Fine by me.
I am going to criticize the hell out of this, just like I do everything else I don't like in R3V. Just like I did on DTMpower. I know I speak for a group on this forum when I say, there isn't a problem with effort, there is a problem with wasted effort. If you really want to shock us, do something right the first time, have some pride, and slow down your builds. Japandrew may be a silly MFer, but at least he does his shit right. Burrougs (while he doesn't really "build" his cars, at least has the sense to slow shit down and finish things in order, and take steps to do things correctly.
So much on this forum is I need it now, which is why people do things like wrap their cars, paint them with rollers, Primer them out. The expensive and hard stuff takes time. Just because you slapped an s52 into your e30 in a week doesn't make you cool. If you tore the engine down, rebuilt what needed to be rebuilt, re-sealed it, then rested it in your car on new mounts with a new clutch, then you get respect. Anyone can spraybomb an engine bay or slap a motor in their car. The finished product, and the longevity of the motor and tranny's life are the true product. This is what R3V is missing.
None of you "restore" shit. Don't make this a Vdub culture. Don't do things cheaply or cut corners, do them right and take the time to learn. If you can't afford it, save your money, then do it. If you can't afford it after that, maybe you should just get a honda. Help make this website THE end all be all when it comes to e30s, one that has pride in it's workmanship and it's cars.
