welcome!
this is a build ive wanted to do for a long time.
Theres a lot of good arguments when it comes to VVTI or non-VVTI, if you were to ask me i would go non, just based off of some JZ engines my friends have owned and the little i've learned about them. more simple, more reliable, and the way the JZ VVTI works is a little boggling and seems very mechanically not safe, but it works obviously LOL.
as for the e30, im sure you know the early model 318i rear end comes with drum brakes, and a small case diff. you're probably planning on tearing the rear end a new one anyway, to support all of that power lol.
that front clip being welded on is very interesting, i see that a lot on some of my buddies s14s, and s13s, never seen it on an e30 LOL.
also that car didnt come with a clear coat, so a repaint is in good order as the non factory paint looked poopy.
i have a buddy with an e28 with a 1JZ swap, R154 trans, on air. its Jeremy of stanceworks old car, when my buddy got it it was a POS and hes come a long way owning it, probably put another 5k into mechanically LOL.
ill post some pics.
excited to see where this goes! i like the color you've chosen, and this is the swap i dream of when i get out of this shitty apartment and have a real garage LOL.
