The Ultimate Poor College Student's Daily Racecar Build Thread

we should make a college r3vers fb group

That would include... all of r3v.

There is no way this is going to cost less than $2600...

Of course it will

I guarantee ;)

Well don't limit yourself, but I can see it being done. So you just need wheels an a drivetrain? I'd consider bushings, brakes, etc. Regular maintenance. OBDI M52 w/ S52 cams is still a fun car and won't cost too much.

Good job fixing and flipping that Bronzit, you did well on the selling price of it.

[White325is]

you should just buy my m20 and call it a day. :)

[Kershaw]

no it definitely wouldnt.

it would include all of r3v with beat cars. ;)

[White325is]

^^^ Truth. haha.

[e30shmobberr]

you could do a lot with 2600. just think, i got my s50 and tranny for 1100...

[Eecen]

ya

Holy inflated prices batman. But I guess "rust free" does go a long way up here too.


Good luck. I hope you can get some good deals on engine etc. or that budget will fly out your window.

i mean im in college but i dont really have a college person budget when it comes to e30s...

whatever tho. im sub'd

[drutt23]

This ought to be sweet. Good luck with the build man!

[ohthejosh]

correct me if im wrong but he actually has more 1300 get 24valves in that bish since he bought GC coils. goodluck man. being young in college and broke. you can only get older and wiser my man.

Ordered all my suspension goodies, got a free Getrag 240, free new sachs clutch, ordered my tires, brake goodies, cooling goodies (IE 14" electric fan)

Got all my 24V parts together, just missing motor mounts.

With all that I still have $1900 left over for a 24V swap..which I will do for much less than $1000

Found an M52 junkyard motor that's been sitting for a year, unsure if it runs, for $600. seems promising enough.

All I'm missing is the motor now, everything should come in within a week, and then it will all get built in a week ;)

[VinniE30]

Nice dude!

But 24V is so mainstream now ;)

[Mr Two]

If it hasn't already been mentioned, check out some GRM e30 build threads for inspiration on how to stretch that budget. I know Vorshlag's thread is kicking around somewhere.

[e30lov]

needs more 32v v8 and my 6 speed transmission
