Fast forward a few weeks and after a weekend of yelling, bending countless power steering lines, losing bolts and many beers, I have a M52 2.8L swapped compact

My brother-in-law and I want to do this with my sister's compact 316i

But I'm affraid our swap will involve a lot more yelling and swearing

I like the outcome

So about 2 months ago my S50 powered E30 fell victim to a Jeep Wrangler driving onto the wrong side of the road - I had about a second to react before I hit him at ~35mph:



Roof was bent and you could put your arm between the roof and the drivers door while it was closed...

Got insurance payout on the E30 and bought it back and swapped the driveline (minus LSD) for my new project (thread will start once I have space to build a car again):



I then got the LSD out of the E30 rebuilt as a 4 clutch unit and put it along with the E30 ABS axles into the compact in preparation for the 2.8L swap:

Im trying to think of a lexus I like and I'm drawing a blank.

I don't like compacts, but I like what you've done with your car.

why compact? i think they are so hideous, if this was just a e36 coupe, it would be so perfect, car is nice though, i just personally dont like compact cars

looks like too much fun!

[qinedotvvc]

think so, than it's comprehensible that you got rid of one E30

I loved the E30 but I also have an E36 M3 powered E30 coupe and everything I looked at doing to the bagged car started turning it into less of a daily and more of the fast car...

Ok, than it's comprehensible that you got rid of one E30
But it was one fine E30

[MadMax]
