Need help with my E30, labor!! help me get my car running!

[SketchyRex]

Hey R3V, I got my 318. Im basically looking for someone that has a shop or garage with space here in town. I got two m10 motors 1 in the car and 1 spare, I'm pretty sure it turns over. I was seeing if someone could put a new clutch in for me, and see if we could piece together these two engines. I want to help with the work, can pay to much and im on a major budget but i need to get this car running. I got like $500 on the way. Please dont put hate comments up. -Nick

He was referring to you in reference to this thread. Nothing against you, it was just a funny coincidence and a chance to have many lulz this day

Mmhmm. Like I said. Happy to help :up:

Now back on topic...

[SketchyRex]

ahahhaha that was pretty funny. But yes back on topic, where is my mechanic!!!!

What is wrong with the motor currently in the car? Doesn't run at all or runs poorly?

[SketchyRex]

Beat to shit by yours truly.
It was my first actual car, learned to drive manual in it, not regretting all the suffrage i've put it through.


Basically it runs really rough. I think it has a few leaks and defffff needs a tune. I figured I could find someone that would be willing to go the the two engines and see if we could get the car running and everything. get it sounding like that 100hp beast again.

[SketchyRex]

i meant *now regretting

Lol suffrage=the right to vote. If you get enough interested people, just spend a hundred or two on pizza and beer and you'll likely have an engine swap party at your house.

[LuckyHenriksen]

Hmm have you done a compression test on it? Is it consuming lots of oil? I'm just interested to know why you think it needs pieces of a different engine installed

[SketchyRex]

Yeah consumes a lot of oil. I think the pan is leaking. Thats what some guy had told me and my uncle, I could be wrong though. Like i said...im a novice when it comes to stuff like this, I really want to work on my car but dont have the experience yet..
