I hate you, Stewart. You're so fat.

But your car is cool. Carry on.

[FunfGang]

Thanks Rob!

Seems like a rather doable swap even for someone like me, thanks for the info.

Looking forward to seeing more of your car.

Thanks man, if you do through with the swap or need any more info, feel free to send me a pm. Always glad to help people get into this swap.

Looks good Stuart!

Thanks Nick! You'll have to drop by again so I can take you for a ride.







Taking out my rear adjusters, installing a horn as well as a lot of other stuff today.


These showed up today also, SO happy to finally have these. The preload on my sway bar with the current, oem links is terrible. Besides that, they're just plain ruined.

So I think your car is cool as hell, I'd love to do a V8 swap if I end up with another E30.

I haven't read through all of the thread, but how difficult and costly would you say the swap is/was?

Cool stuff.

Thanks man! Definitely should.


It should cost about $2-3k if you do it correctly, order all the e30v8.com swap pieces, stock engine and all that.

Really not a super difficult swap, imo, as long as you make sure to have all the pieces before you start, that was one of my main issues. There's really nothing terribly hard about it, as long as you understand how to run lines, clearance things, do clutch lines and such. Unless you want to make your own mounts and such like I did, no need to really know how to fabricate things.


Obviously it's more difficult than say, an m50 swap, but those are pretty much plug and play haha.

I can certainly try A bit hard to see the exhaust though, but hey, might was well try, no?

Took the Honda out for a spin this morning to keep it running. Was quite nice driving before sunrise and listening to some fantastic music! Broke in my gloves more too.







This is what happened to the scraps from the windshield banner, haha.















Finally got back to my main girl, had to park her across the street due to room issues.








Then went for a drive, did some sliding and took way too many pictures. Just getting used to this camera.















Real updates this weekend!

[FunfGang]

Always enjoy the updates in this thread!
However, do not like the HELLA's or the woodgrain windshield banner.
Sunroof cap is lookin rough, and bottom of front end seems empty...

Glad it's entertaining
