Ellie The M3

LSX swaps aren't that common in these cars stateside...

[Angelic0-]

what engine is your bmw e36 beacuse it does not look like a S50B30 that come in a e36 M3?? the intake and exhaust maniforlds are different on yours than a S50B30

US M3s kind of sucked.... the Bavarian automaker decided that US people were worse drivers than EU people, and didn't want them to hurt themselves...

Pretty stout engine though if you ask me

That's why LSx swaps are common in the US.... while they are considered vandalism in EU

I hope there are clear indicators on your to do list....

I love your Vaders..... best looking seats... not the best functionality...

Clean looking car....

Great work dude! Glad to see you've been taking car of the important stuff before slamming the hell out of it. Keep it up.

[jrcanes55]

I said it was stupid and a waste of time. I thought it was funny. Its not like I left it on.

[Bruno730]

wow. just doesn't make sense.

[SeanDub]

That is so ridiculously ghetto, I can't believe you thought it was a good idea to show it off.

[jrcanes55]

Also thought i'd throw in a small update. Nothing major but hopefully kinda cool.
So when I had the microswitch problem with my drivers door, (it can't tell if the door is open or closed so it just raises the window up and down constantly (most embarrassing thing ever.)) It kinda wrecked my battery. So I got a replacement.



The old battery was a 10 1/2 year old Bosch...... Damn it still worked it just wasn't holding a high enough charge.

Next, I found this in my room. It was originally on our Chevy Aveo (worst car in the world. If you don't know look it up. It has 13k miles on it and is worth like 1.5k.) Anyway my dad made me take it off because it was so obnoxious. I originally tried to put it on my car as a joke but it's a 2.5" connector.



So I got bored and found my knife digging through my toolbox so nowit might fit. I'm not going to leave it on I just want to see how loud my car gets up front.



This will be the last update for a little while. I'm leaving for college tomorrow. Today was my last day with her. My dad takes over for a while now until I get back.

Went to get a haircut today and found this beauty in the parking lot.



Then came home and remembered I chopped up that ghetto ricer intake so I stuck that on.



Didn't have any way to clamp it on so I used the next best thing. Electrical tape.



I made a video with it on. I'll upload it sometime tomorrow I just sold my old desktop and my new Alienware is sitting in my dorm, which I haven't moved into yet thanks dell. It actually doesn't sound to bad, but seeing as I have no heat shield or a safe way to secure I just took it back off and threw it back in my closet. Kinda pointless but it was fun.


Lastly I went for a pretty long drive stopping to do a few errands on Franklin St. If you don't know what that is, it's where people die jumping over fires every year when UNC beats Duke. Took a couple photos.





I'm in the process of ordering my M50. I'm going to get the conversion kit from the M50 Manifold website. I also just ordered this.

Hopefully since I have the ASC throttle body, removing it will give me the estimated 8hp gain. That on top of the M50 Winnar!

I'll post up as things arrive to my dorm room but none of it will be going on until winter break

One day I'll get to have one of these. Sounds so beastly.

[RCSummers]

[jrcanes55]

Yeah it is. School every day practice three nights a week and out of state travel every weekend.

[fromthelbc]

needs a lot more low.

[Funtington]

Kinda hard to have a job when you're traveling every weekend for hockey

no it's not.

beside that though your car is radical, and I like what your doing to it.
