Since Matt's so kind to bring it to the top...

Head and SETA block are at the machine shop. Wheels are with Dave at Renewed Finishes. A little bit of patience on my end with some exciting results to come soon.

Any who I have a damn parts car as a fund raising project for some of my impulsive spending habits. Help me buy a sloth. He can be our mascot.

[Swanny]

So sloth has almost been paid for so it's tine to get my head back in the e30 game.

All you 2.7i guys, who has larger injectors and the m30 afm? Wondering what increase in performance you're all experiencing.

I'm ordering all the parts to finish this job up next week (clutch, timing belt kit, water pump, etc.) in hopes to have her on the road for June. Already did a quick 2.7i conversion for my brother a few weeks ago and he's loving the increase in power over his stock 325e. Very curious see what the SETA pistons will bring to the table for this round.

Some terrible phone pictures of my brother car after the swap. He's doing exactly what he wants with this thing with no advice being heeded....

[Swanny]

Oh and a teaser from Dave

[F34R]

I suggest the 17lb injectors from an m50 to run with the swap. You have the rebuild kit ;)

And I love the new color of the wheels Sean, cannot wait to see them in person. Any idea on when you are going to get them? I will come along for the ride.

Went over to Sean's house to hangout and do car things. Engine block is finished and SEXY! We hung his new overhead lights and put together his new crane to pull and swap his new engine.

Can not wait to get into this now. Thanks for the help today man, I really needed some motivation!

Sweet looking block, digging the color choice

[F34R]

Can not wait to get into this now. Thanks for the help today man, I really needed some motivation!

np buddy, why do you think I came over? Why do you think I was up @7am finishing the taping and painting of the block? I want this on the road asap so we can cruise this summer! Kinda boring driving alone all the time.

Did you like the surprise of the crane finished? I was going to pull the engine but my brother was getting his first ink and I wanted to be there for it.
It is good that the car is in the garage and you now have awesome lighting. Get that engine pulled and I will come over this weekend and help you get it down to the car wash to get it nice and clean!

I didn't see this before. I like the green a lot.

[Swanny]

Thanks Bob!

Got some work done today since I broke down and bought a hoist. First rolled out the dead tranny.

Found out the shift plate was missing 2 bolts which is a great explanation to crazy floppy donkey dick shifter.


Now the old block lifting out nicely!


Now ready to pressure wash and look into cleaning up the bay. Big decisions being a/c, power steering, and abs delete.

[MattAvino]

Whens the twin turbo S62 going in?

[Swanny]

Next week. I'm just going to wait for Frank to get his installed and sorted then steal everything.
