Sure if you want to do all that work... M10 with a 3.73 med case will still be dog slow though. Like slower than a 1.6 miata. Maybe that's your thing but it ain't mine
My friend back in the day had a M10 318 that was bone stock but had some sticky Toyos. I have never seen Hicks Rd raped so hard before in my life. Body roll and a complete momentum car, but damn it was fun. Also, they are the lightest E30 to show up on our shores. Even after adding the better parts you still have a nice weight advantage over other E30s. Important if you are into those things.

I've always loved safari beige. That car is a pretty good deal considering the wheels and awesome color, I had no idea they had the small rear end like an e21, however I did know of the drum rears.
Still this is the only e30 engine they have a carb legal turbo kit for, the century/BAE turbo kit, hard to source completely but I'm sure with it done this car would be an absolute blast.
Not necessarily, I had an even slower car for my first car, two ton 1977 240d, needless to say after I moved on I had a need for speed, even in my eta or my pos e21

Oh my god I drove one of those in my valet years (over a decade ago holy fuck I am old) 4 speed manual. I thought hey cool a stick shift old school benz... until I pressed the gas pedal and nothing happened. I was used to a Miata at the time so it's not exactly like I was expecting a lot but that thing was actually dangerously slow. Like having trouble merging even with a head start.
also, I drove my cousins corolla this weekend (2000s model shitbox) and I tried to accelerate on the freeway and absolutely nothing happened. It was scary, I was trying to merge over and had to slam on the brakes because I was running out of real estate

Took the wheels off to make sure the calipers bolts were not backing off.
I get a smart idea, hey I'll run it in the air see if I can find any issues. Rear passenger idling in fourth seems fine,
However driver side there seems to be a small amount of play in the rotor itself, and a small clunking noise, once on every revolution, doesn't sound like the diff it sounds like it's in the rotor, probable the e-brake shoes...
