Hello all!

I'm getting closer and closer to this:



Headlights, air dam and ride height are taken care of. Now for some wheels.

So you finally got some coilovers? ;)


Haruko: Blunt is a person. He also happens to have a website. As far as the eta crap goes, try selling it all cheap to someone, although I don't know who would want it. You could save a few of the interesting tidbits and scrap out the rest.

[Mullet Bullet]

That's a damn good deal, considering all the time you've got into it.

Hope you don't sell, but good luck with whatever you decide to move onto next dude!

thanks i appreciate it. its a fun car but i just don't see it being that much more fun if i do a swap unless its a S38 or S50 turbo. plus wheel selection is annoying for the 4lug lol.

i dunno, i kinda just fell into this car, always wanted a E30 now i can say i had one.

[e30austin]

Go S50! That's my next plan after I finish up cosmetics and do exhaust. I really don't want to spend too much more on this car because then I'll get too tied up in it financially and just keep it!

[Mullet Bullet]

thats my exact problem. if i go S50 i know i will still be bored with the power it has (my last car was a 400+hp subaru sleeper) thats why i was thinking M/S50 and turbo. but then im looking at $10K by the time im done and i can build a complete subaru for that money (swap, suspension, wheels, etc.)

[cg138]

So where do people usually source S50s for swaps?

[5Toes]

$10,000?

Dude it can be done for cheaper,

[Mullet Bullet]

Dude it can be done for cheaper,

reread what i posted. S50 swap with turbo. that can easily reach $10K after all the little parts, fab work and time, engine management and tuning time on a dyno, etc. it ads up quick.

ive built more then a few cars, i kinda have a clue what it costs to do so.

here is my last DD i built. it started as a 99 2.2 n/a automatic, was then built into a 240AWHP 2.0 turbo drivetrain swap from a 2003 WRX. i rewired the whole car with the WRX sedan harness. then went a little nuts on a spare block i had and ended up with around 450WHP.

M50 will take boost just as well

[DrJosh]

A S50 is not a M50

[Mullet Bullet]

i understand this why do you think i continually posted M/S50

[e30austin]

N3wbieeeeeee :roll:

[Mullet Bullet]

let me just clarify what i meant was doing ether M50 or S50 swap.

[DrJosh]

Do a small block turbo.

[Mullet Bullet]

lol i almost stuffed a LS1 into it when i first got the car and it only ran on 5 cylinders
