We need to have a big e30 meet, then brandon would have no choice but to drive to Boise.

You should have hit me up, where were ya? Come to the fair?

[gome123]

This weekend I was down in Farbin's neck of the woods... It was weird, no wind! One of these times I need to stop by and say hi.

[ST1G]

Let us know if you need any help.

Good for you! We need some more 24v's around here. I swapped mine about a year and a half ago, so feel free to ask any questions or I can give you a hand.

Also, time to find a Vanos head

Interesting... That would add more "FUN" to this engine.

Awww yeah! To bad it's only an m50. But still awesome! Can't wait to see it done and rope you into giving me a ride

I know... I know... I wanted to keep it simple, Plus I got a great deal on the engine. Free-99!

Well I guess that was the sign you were looking for! Let me know if you need any extra hands

Yes... I may need some help. Stay tuned. Tomorrow I will begin dusting off the parts that were sitting in the attic.

Yesterday for the 1st time my E30 left me. I went to the father-in-law's to help install his rebuild 289 into his Falcon. Time to leave, I went out and noticed anti-freeze all over the floor. My water pump went out. Father-in-law comes over and says "How much is it to replace that pump?" I then proceeded to say "I don't know, I will just replace the whole engine!" This makes up my mind, next week I will commence M50NV swap. Stay tuned as I may be asking questions.

Here it is, fully rebuilt waiting to be installed since last winter.


Edit: this picture is old... as it now has M52 exhaust manifolds..

First E30!

Hey guys! Just got her cleaned up for show and tell.

[ST1G]

ST1G.. Thanks for the compliment. It has been a lot of work. Now I may need you to hook me up with some Smillies. I saw ArtFood's, it is giving me the itch to upgrade.

Just let me know, I always have a lower price for locals.

I may now say that I fully regret driving through the puddle so many times. I washed it twice and its still dirty.

You're doing it wrong. Your car should be low enough that this scares you.

[ArtFoodBMW]

Turns out big puddles are really fun to drive through in small cars.
