Hopefully some work gets done

E30 has some new shoes now. TRM C1s with 225/50/15 kumhos.

Coming along. I wonder what Tsuchiya thought of the E30? I know he raced in an M3 on a couple of occasions.

So you have roads that are truly touge? Gonna boost the car?

It's getting there. Once my funds open up more, the e30 will progress further. I mean Tsuchiya like the FR platforms ,so the e30 seems acceptable haha. I have some roads in mind that I would consider touge-like,but autocross and track are predominant around my area.

Mondays

Engine Teardown

Sanding and engine prepping are occur at the moment. Pistons were clean as they could be.

Update due since it's been a while

The e30 has been sitting for a little bit, but still placing orders. I'm gonna get various parts prepped for paint and assembled, so putting the m20 together goes smoothly. While making my parts needed list, the nuts and bolts missing are gonna break bank haha (hopefully not). Spring break has just ended for me, and a buddy's car is up and running. #ls1e36
I've been looking through a few 2.7i stroker threads and movitated!

Parts on parts on parts. More coming

Well,more parts came in and some dollars are gone. I ordered some gaskets,water pump, thermostat, gates timing belt, rebuilt 17 lb injectors and tensioner. A few more things will be on the way to get this car rolling. Brakes are being rebuilt as we speak.

Great start, cant wait for more. Just be smart and always listen to the little voice inside you. Don't wanna jeopardize your future man. Now give us more updates!

I know, I had a close run in with RVA's finest while driving friend home in an m52b28 swapped e30. Definitely don't wanna say hi again.

It is scary especially applying to medical school soon,but I kind of know the time and place to run. Gotta have a stress reliever.
