Project "Sally" s50e30 engaged

[e30shmobberr]

So i will give you the history on my car:

I bought the car February 2010, for $2100 stock.
it had 285,xxx miles and was running great!

photo from the night i got her:



the next night, i made the bumpers and wheels black (haha)




drove around like that for like 2 or 3 months then did the plastic bumper and valence swap



Next i got the Ground control coilover conversion kit and did all the necessary modifications then welded them on. and eventually got the shortened VAC motorsport special valved koni's to go with it.

man feels like m20 powered e30's are going to go up in value in a few years..... haha i kid.
good luck looks pretty nice so far :)

i also got some fogs, lamin-x, smileys, HID's (both lows and fogs), and a volvo front lip (lasted one day then fell off on a drive in those windy mountain roads ;) )


then i had a small incident several months later and bent my trailing arm, rear wheel, and ripped my rear subframe bushings. so i changed them all out. as well as some reinforcing the swaybar tabs on the trailing arms. anyone guess the 2 other cars in the photo?




then pretty much from then on the car was fine till the engine pooped, and i pulled it to do a s50 swap.

and here is what i got today!

Yea, that big of a difference will make the front end bounce/jounce all over the place in comparison to the rear. I would go with the 650 front.

Car is looking like its coming together beautifully.

Thanks man, its slowly getting there. I have to put my rx7 big brakes on, my wheels, and then throw on m tech 1 valence with euro bumpers when i repaint the car.
