ITS ALIVE!!! Found out I had a bad ground from the frame.

[e30this]

Thank you a lot. I appreciate it.

I hope to have it finished by tuesday. :)
Just got it running. I got a short vid to post soon. It sucks but you all will get the idea.

it looks really clean on your car! nice job.

ebay, It list for BIN 250 with free shipping or offer.
I made an offer of 160 shipped and he came back with 200.
I then made another offer of 180 shipped and I ended up getting ti for 162 shipped because I had a 10% thing from pay-pal. :)
Shipping sucked. It took them like 10 days to ship it. But the quality is really nice.

where did you get the carbon fiber valve cover? i remember seeing somthing like this but i cant find it now.

[e30this]

Yeah it will. That should be here Tuesday along with the new brake res and window tank.

Anyways I got everyting hooked up tonight and went to start it and nothing happend.
I got the starter to click once or twice and that was it.
I think there is an issues with the wiring. I notice that the engine oil light on the chack panel is flickering when the key is off anf out of the ignition.
So I dunno. I slept 2 hours last night and so far none tonight. Im dead ass tired so im going to get some sleep and start over tomorrow.

Looks sick! The 318iS trim pieces will really clean up the engine bay too.

Very nice...I wasn't aware that the tranny mount needed to be modified.

Ok I took some photos outside today so you could see the motor better and see the wheels and the way she sits.

Here are them photos.











I know a lot of photos. Im a photo whore.

Anyways Matt and I put the trans in today and I know when using the 260 trans you have to cut the pass side of the mount and make it shorter and extend the other side and blah blah blah...
With the stock mount you can see it pushs the trans right up on the tunnel.
So here is what the stock mount look like with the 260 trans.






So instead of cutting up the stock mount I decided to make my own.
Thats right Jordan, I can make mounts too.
So anyways this is what it looks like.
Still need to grind the welds and paint it pink.








ENJOY~!~

Maybe i shoulda done a teaser pic, but its just not that impressive in comparison

[e30this]

So this is what I got in the last week or so.

M52 cam trays, lifters and cam caps.



Shaved, surfaced flywheel. Stock Sachs clutch. Might add a 6 puck into the mix. I dont know yet.



5 speed trans from a 91 M-tech vert.

Thanks a ton for Matt "Showstopper" for going with me to take this out. I would have died doing it alone.



Carbon Fiber engine and fuel rail covers.



Euro elips with just city lights.



I also got a 5 speed drive shaft.
Dustin "dp2275" just finished up my harness.
Misc gaskets showed up yesterday.
Euro gauge cluster.
Thats about it for now, I have to order a few more parts and more stuff is still coming like, S52 cams, Maf, TMS chip and injectors.
Also have a VEM's 3.3 coming for a future project.

Enjoy!!!...

Stop over and take a look at it sometime.
Im not home often, maybe 2 days a week if that.

Your shop teacher said you got your car running good. glad I could help.

Sure thing, let me know whens good.

She runs like a dream since I re-torqued the intake nuts and replaced all those gaskets. Idles a bit funny still, but no worse than any other e30 I've ever seen, and 200% better than before.

I'd still rather have your sedan :) You source that 5-speed yet?

[e30this]

I swear to god I go into a drooling fit every time I see you roll by.

Glad to see you got the new motor in, I'm looking forward to listening to your exhaust note as you blow past my slow ass.
