          uh oh, race car for sale!


          Kronus, how's the transmission in that thing? I am pretty interested in the engine for spare parts for my rebuilt, the trans, and the ecu. Any thoughts on it?

            we haven't had many bites, and are currently taking the motor apart. I suspect we floated the valves. if it's an easy fix, the aim is to transplant the whole powerplant into the 52 willys we're building to replace our e30, so it won't be available.

            I do have a spare ECU and a pair of M30 g260's with dead syncros available, if you want to either get them rebuilt or figure out how to do it yourself. I think someone just posted a G260 rebuild guide on GRM.

              Well if it's more catastrophic, I could use the block, maybe the crank/pistons. Still waiting to hear if my crank is bent or if my pistons are too worn to reuse. Also, I'd be happy to snag the MarkD chip if you don't want it.

              Gonna look up the 260 on GRM right now. It'd be awesome to be able to make a spare. Or at lease swap stuff from an m20 g260 into an m30 g260 (if that's possible).

These would be easier for me to install on the CAalso, so might be a good choice. I can always rent a puller, but idk about install tools. Is it the same thing?
                Last time I did bushings I offered a guy selling a 20 ton press on CL ~20 bucks to use it for an hour (he accepted)

                I have AKG 75D offset cabs and they press in by hand/with a mallet. I've taken the stock ones out with a dremel cutting through the outer metal ring but it's a pita.

                        Ha! I last ran into him December 2016. Took a photo for the occasion.


                        OT - this week marks half a year of no E30 for me.

                            hehehehe I actually still have the E30. It's been sitting in my uncle's garage in socal needing an m42 timing overhaul.


                            buuuuutt... after 6 months sitting in dormancy, picking it up this thursday!


                            taking a couple days of vacay at the end of week and going down to socal.

                              Are you going to rebuild the M42, swap in another, or add more cylinders?

                                The M42 in the car has strong compression, and just about everything other than the timing components have been replaced and are relatively fresh.


                                Bought the full FCP timing overhaul kit and planning on having it all replaced by one of our own down in the SFV.

                                Hope to bring the car back up north later this fall, and start working on getting the exterior up to snuff, now that the interior is all tidied-up.


                                Body & paint hopefully by the spring.
