Good stuff!

Sure is :)

Nice! Now don't sell this one... :D

I think that flywheel is an Aasco.

I won't be selling it!
The Aasco has a different look and friction plate bolt pattern.

Someone on m3 forum said its a Fidanza B1 flywheel and when I look at the fidanza friction plates they look the same.

awesome! where you get the motor from?

I got it from Dani in Rancho Cardova! Awesome dude

Good news.
Got my s52 today
120k miles on her. Compression good across the board
The donor

In the truck, almost home. 5 hour drive total to get it


Home sweet Home with the e30 behind it

took the Zf off to find a Lightweight flywheel. Unsure of the brand, but it weighs 13lbs

Anyone recognize this brand?

Unbolted the A/C and powersteering that I don't need and then got her on a stand. Hopefully I'll get her ready to put in soon

Are you gonna do anything to the engine (other than OBD1) or just drop it in?

Most likely, little maintenance things.

Why?

I'm actually not 100% sure what route ill take yet. I'm leaning towards keeping OBD2 at the moment actually haha

[Roysneon]

Then I'll be converting to obd1

Why?

If compression numbers are good, I'm getting the 120k s52 monday!!

[craiggroves91]

Good news today!!
I received the paper work to transfer the title into my name!

Just need one more signature from a friend, then I should be golden. Fingers crossed!
Gotta fork over the $600 for registration late fees.

I also have a few options for a s50 or s52 at the moment.

Hopefully getting an s52 with 120k miles. Then I'll be converting to obd1
Fingers crossed again!
