Fair enough.

Andrew, if you use cut springs all credit will be lost.

I look forward to seeing this swap.

Andrew, if you use cut springs you are a fucking deadshit and a moron who has no place on public roads in a Geo, let alone behind the wheel of a front-heavy, tail-happy car like an M30 E30.

Fixed.

Well, if he uses all the smog equipment on the donor, he will have a great baseline for what to expect. I see no issue with being anal. This is Andrew we are talking about. I won't be surprised if he does a micrometer based inspection of crank free play when he replaces the oilpan gasket with an NLA one from Guam.

i lol'd at the NLA oilpan gasket comment

So whats the matter with that E28, that it was sold for $700 and you plan on scrapping it, looks like a decent car.

I have a question, as a high schooler, how the hell do you afford this?

[TDE30]

saves his $ its summer and he is working and saving as much as possible Im assuming

Why the hell do you post so goddamn much?

[TDE30]

i answered a question

Not really, you just took a guess at someone's question that wasn't being asked in your direction... for the 343,569,203rd time. Looking forward to your future posts.

The car is looking good Andrew, congrats on the pic on the CCA website.

andrew can you help this guy out?

was what i said not correct?



looking for to seeing and possibly hearing an update ;)

Yes, I work as a swim instructor, I have nothing else going on (except for school this coming week) so I am able to save money. No updates really, just spoke with a couple of people today to let me borrow a stand, crane, and place to leave the chassis of the e28. It's all been worked out and hopefully this Saturday, the engine will come out of the e28. Then cleaning begins.

Spray 9 is your friend. Good luck! I know it will come out great.

[Japandrew73]

The M30b34 passed smog with flying colors. Swap commences. This Saturday the engine will come out of the e28.

Andrew, nice! I just took mine for a pre-test as well. Now I can see what the ave/max is... mine was at 109 NO(x) and 0 HC and 0.00 CO :)

What were your CO2 %?

What were your CO2 %?

15mph @ 1600rpm = 14.7% CO2
25mph @ 1711rpm = 14.6% CO2

[Jean]

Funny, same as mine 14.6. Looks like you got a good donor car, with a good cat!

Get to it :)

[MR 325]

Sweet! You guys will literally have the same exact car, lol.

[Jean]

I don't know about that lol. He still needs to do rear drum to brake swap, upgrade his front brakes/struts etc etc. My car will never be like his show car, totally different direction :)
