A 300 lb Puerto Rican stole my Seta~!~!

[Van Westervelt]

Awesome. Keep it up!

So thats a yes on the burger then?!

Very nice!!



Can you fill me in on what you used for the 5 lugger swapage?

I have a thread that I posted up the rears, it has "fags" in the title :) I will be posting a full list of items on this car. The suspension is all e30 m3 bits. Just used the spacer to run the e36 m3 front brakes.

Damn, that's the same piece of shit load leveler I used to do my swap, and the top D ring started to bend as I angled it down to install it into the bay. Fortunately it didn't fail!



For my second swap, I decided not to entrust a nice engine/trans combo to a $12 load leveler. So I went to Harbor Freight and picked one up for $30.

This is my first swap, and it did fail! I was actually at HF with that one in my hand and said to myself, "no, it should be fine." Well, just like you, for my second swap, I will be picking that one up. :)

thats it. im calling junkyards tomorrow for an s50.





everyone is leaving me behind and going to swapped motors while i still have my m20.

Nah, be an individual, do twin turbos on the m20!

[markseven]

How do those trans mounts look now that they are installed? I used that mount but it was still and little stretched and it broke under load after about 3 weeks.

You dropped it in with headers installed? I put mine in from underneath afterwards, pain in the rear. Jealous, I want ///m power.

Nice thread.

Now I wished I sprung the money for Mpower while I had my 20 out... But cool. Maybe you can write a lil post analysis of what it took, parts etc, vendors for the parts and overall experience

[StereoInstaller1]

I don't wanna see anything posted by Curt using the word "Anal"

wtf? Oh and this mofo should be at the picnic.

I did put it in with the headers on, didnt rub or hit them once dropping it in.

Got the driveline, shifter linkage, all the mounts tightened, pulleys and belt on, swapped valve covers, and a few other things yesterday.

Doing the wiring and the diff today I hope, plus some more dependant on time.

trust me you do NOT want to see this list, there is nothing used on this motor. every bolt,nut,washer,gasket is new. im sure Patrick at BMA can retire off what he spent on new stuff.

weird he hasnt mentioned anything about how "anal" he is about stuff.

[Van Westervelt]

I am anal. Ats how I do.

[backtrail69]

I am anal. Ats how I do.

That is the only way to be. When you let stuff slip is when reliability and quality goes down the drain. We'll see about a burger. I am paying for gas, parking donation for two cars, my own food and I haven't worked in almost 9 months...

[Van Westervelt]

I was only half kidding about the burger. Half wasnt though. :)

I am losing feeling in my whole right hand/arm now. Not a good thing. Wiring is in, hoses are all in, just need to tidy them up a bit, install my bbtb, and my fpr, then the intake boot and hfm, and we shall see if she turns, hopefully before noon. haah

Oh yeah, more update pics...





A little taste of some of my upgrades. PWR Rad, Samco hoses, Turner Pulleys.

[Juanka]

always the Puerto Rican jejejjejejejee

s50 swap ftw :p

[e30prideTN]

Lovely.

I want to know how the 95 m3 rack feels after you're able to drive it....compared to our rack? I heard it's the best one to get.
