RC, I am/was in love with your car and when I first got my e30 eight years ago, all I aspired to do was look exactly like yours. I don't remember whether you still own or have sold since then, but at the time, it was I thought, the perfect example of what an e30 should look like. Your pics on the railroad track are still some of my most favorite.

Since then, I've much opened my eyes and realized that everyone does not stick to the tried and true method of a OEM+ e30. While my car is not extravagant or "eye catching" as some, I always like to add my own individual flair to it.

While you may think it looks like shit, not everyone is in the same mindset as you. I personally like the way it offsets the white and it has nothing to do with leghumping, her being a girl, etc. I respect dedication and work put into something you love.

While you are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, as we all are, to say your opinion is helpful is absolutely arrogant. It is YOUR opinion. The fact that we are able to create what we like with a blank canvas is what keeps us unique. We also "mostly" know what is pure shit on these cars. This for one is not one of them, and will never be seen unless the car is on display with the hood popped at a show.

Jay, keep up the good work and you are an inspiration to me, as it has finally come time for my 318is to donate it's heart to a respectable e21 or 2002 in the near future. I've decided once I rip that out, it is getting rebuilt to a 2.1L stroker with possible FI that will go to a chassis of my choosing. As the saying goes, the best thing an e36 can ever do, is donate it's heart to an e30...I feel the same way about the m42 into above mentioned cars.

Thank you so much for being original , I m glad you share this on my thread and not hop on the bandwagon with everyone else! :)

OP - If you haven't figured out a booster solution yet, I think this is the best idea yet.




just use a small master cylinder like a 21mm to help soften the pedal up a bit.

buy it from Lee @ massive brakes.

THANKS ERIC for giving actual helpful solutions !

This is my engine bay =) If anyone wants detailed info/more pics on install and fab work let me know. Mine is installed and new MC is in the works, that is what I had laying around(750Li)

if it was that would be pretty fail and many of the guys who have been on her nutz because shes doing a swap would be trolled majorly hahahhahahhha that would be hilarious.


i hope it isn't just for the sake of all of my amigos on r3v who would be bummed hahah.

Non-body coloured engine bays are a trend I can get along with. Yeah, more masking and better painting could have been done, but whatever. I'm a fan of silly coloured engines/bays/wheels and not taking things too seriously.

why does this remind me of the sparkles/rayban thing?
attention much?

hipsters....

Lol, thank the members for that one. I would say the idea was good, but the execution not quite so much, I'm not quite feeling it. I'm tired of being an elitest prick though, so fuck it, more power to you and get the swap done!

P.S. everybody is just jealous because they couldn't get their girl to even help them turn a wrench.

Oh, and I honestly agree with all wh33lhop and Farbin, too much unnecessary bullshit in this thread. I thought I was in the engine bay thread for a second.
