not bad progress!!! id have to say the M42 is the easiest motor to get out :P

[JayyE30]

That 's terrible! It's fun when we working on it together he's really strong, and im very little so I could kind of sneak in the bottom and roll around no problem. And my hands are tiny so if his wrenches don't fit, my hands will do the job :) It's fun! Better than any other dates.

i wish my gf didn't hate my project cars. I think the only car she didn't hate was the miata I bought her until she almost got run over by a big truck changing lanes and didn't see her in the shiny red miata.

P2: Removing the heart!

Hey everyone! :)
You guys' posts are really funny and I m liking every one of them ! Personal messages are nice to receive too . This is how I'd expected, a fun post + work done!

Progress 2! : Removing the heart
Let's get ready and....


SNACK!...gotta build up your energy first ;)
Let's see how it's looking so far,

radiators and other tiny things are out!
Only if the swap was done THIS easy:

Got most of the things done in hour an half -2hrs but the biggest problem I went into was the driveshaft. That little thing was so stubborn!!


OFCOURSE for you all that were wondering, how would I go about doing this all alone? Let me introduce you to John, my big secret helper that has been behind the camera! Here's my awesome partner that's been working on cars, has plenty of experiences, and has done swaps oh AND he's my boyfriend:) How much better can this get? One of our working-on-car date !
Here's John helping me out with the driveshaft

Driveshafts' out, wires out, ecu, shifter's out , let's work the magic!

(Yea... climbing on my boyfriend's jack nbd:P it's me getting excited!)

Oh! Were you looking for my motor? It's gone!






John posing afterwards , as you could tell he's extremely happy to get the motor out finally at 3am -.-


& Im still looking and ordering mounts online it might take a while so Im not sure what to do first while im waiting for the parts to come ? Maybe clean the dirty engine bay :)

For the meantime lets do a poll for fun !
Can you guess what car John drives? - CLICK HERE
Have Fun and have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for the support,

YAAAYYYY moar girls and e30s

[samiam3356]

The ones from febi that are fro the e28 M5 are like a blue/grey coating on them, they are identical in dimension to the green 535i mounts but are just different colors. There is a decent enough increase on the cost to validate variance in manufacture and materials. I used the Greu/blue mounts on a few swaps with no issues just cut the bottom bolt a tad. Here some 7 years after my first and 4 since my last, things have changed a little and I wondered if this Revshift company has built a better mousetrap. I heard the guibo's are shit, and they looks like they would eat a input shaft bearing to bits.

I honestly never had a prob with the grey mounts though, and I hate solid motor/trans mounts. I like my fillings to stay in mah teeths yeh.


sry 4 teh jack Jlisa

Green ones are shit. AKG is where its at and worth the coin.

Green and blues? I assume you're talking about the E28 green ones, but what blue ones are you referring to?

i guess you dont get the reference.... it's ok. not everyone is on the up and up with their memes.

and yes, i figured your bf/fiance/husband/so was taking the pics.

So you're the one who got this car. You got a good deal too! Getting a new motor is a good way to solve that warming up issue hehe.

Any plans for the M42?

[greanthumb]
