E30 335i - The new track (drift) project

Love the new car Erick! :D

My only quams are with the filthiness of the engine bay, and the failure to at least spray the motor arms with primer. :???:

The engine bay will still be cleaned. That shop is ridiculous with how much dust accumulates on the car. I was trying to clean up the car and there's dust impregnated on the paint already. I'm going to have to buff the car to get all that stuff out.

The car is far from finished. We basically just finished putting the motor in. I'm still going to have to work on it, and when I do, the motor mounts brackets (among many other things) will be taken care of.

It looks awesome for all the walls you ran into and the amount of time you had to work with. Judging from your last e30 this may not last long : /

What DS are you gonna be running?

[Erick]

I'll be rocking the e30 rear w/ the e28 front :)

Your car makes me jealous.
I have an e28 sitting around that I might do this to..but what throws me over the edge is the GC sponsorship!

Looks nice. Really starting to come together. The wheels look nice as always. I guess we will see the sideshots later. Now you can sell me your leftover M20 parts cheap so I can put my turbo together since your now an M30. Check your PM's. GL!

just tuned in. I'm at awe to see so many E30 ppl support a drift car lol.

Keep it up!

[RickSloan]

looks great man, its really on the way. The longest and hardest part of the m30 swap is the gremlins... its sucks but its true...

keep up the good work!

Mad thread, sorry to hear you didn't make the event...

I'm currently doing my 2nd m30 swap, though I don't have a hectic deadline like yours was!

[UNHCLL]

So, did you roll it into a corner spot at your condo and forget about it?

[Erick]

Yep.

Also been out of town for over a week. I know it's a bunch of pretty pictures, but I did add text to my last update post at the end of page 4. ;)

Oh, and the post explaining it before that too :p.

Right now the only thing that'll keep me from resuming my job once I get back will be the doctor's orders, but I might be stubborn about it and ignore it.

[e30 gangsta]

not even gonna lie looks wicked erick. Cant wait to see you @ the track.

[bumblebeemer]

[Erick]

It's about $150 with lines and fittings through Chassis Shop.
