    New to the E30 game

    Hey just bought my first e30. A 91 318is with a cracked head. Going to swap a m42 in for right now and plan to turbo a m20. I came from boosted miatas and made my own manifolds exhausts and intercooler piping. Anyway, wanted to say hi. Now some pics

        Wait so because the heads cracked you're going to swap an entire engine? You know you can pretty easily just throw a new head on there.

          You can pick up an engine for cheaper. I would much rather swap out engine than replace head. Then you can replace rear main and clutch and so on.

                        Welcome. Your instincts and judgement seem to have worked well for in on your past projects. Keep it up. Forget all the people telling you to do this or that and just do what you want. I'm sure it's going to turn out dope.

                        Cheers. Hopefully see you around and put a face to name here soon!
