I'd be up for the autox class too! Get us some details.
-
Pm me details!
-
All of you are telling me things I already know.

It sucks being grown up some times.

We'll see if it's still around after the sale of my M3. I still think an S52 is the way to go, so much cheaper overall.
We'll see.
-
Because it was the one year anniversary, and I apparently didn't set the domain to auto renew.
BUT WE'RE BACK!!!!!

Here's the link fwiw: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=236922

I'm shooting for 8K as my project budget. But there is a s54 on r3v for sale, guy lives in Milwaukee.
Low miles, complete turn key into an e30 for 9k. Everything included to put in an e30!
But I think that's a little expensive still. S52 is the way to go, few years from now it'll be the other way around.
-
I got another email from VAC today stating with labor I'd be looking at $29,000 for the S54 swap. That's laughable.
Im not overly interested as it is, the S52 is a whole lot more reasonable and cheaper to mod (or fix) to boot!
What a joke.
-
If I did it, it would be a very mild boost. I'd be building a DD.
-
You can get an s54 for cheaper than the euro s50's.
-
Immediately no boosting.
Though I've been told M50 is the way to go if you wanted to boost.
My thought is this, I'm not going to sell the m3 unless I can replace it with something atleast somewhat close to the badassedness as the m3.
We'll see
-
Yea. I've got to find a good chassis first, then do some research on engine options. Ideally I'd want an S series engine. M50's are nice, but I'd like the added power right off the bat.
Who knows. Tomorrow I might say I'm never selling it.
-
I'm talking about AKG, in Zion Il. They don't do work anymore, just manufacturing parts.
I don't know that I could justify paying a shop to do the swap. Just for shits and giggles, I emailed VAC about a e30 S54 swap. They said, including the engine they'd expect... About $15,000, lol yea right.
-
A shop in Illinois did that swap.
I'm not 100% that I'll sell the M3, but if I do the first thing would be to find a clean E30. I'm pretty much mechanically retarded so either the swap will take forever or I'll be enlisting help.
I actually have my eye on a s54 e30 swap. But we'll see, it may be a long term project.
-
Hah! Not going to be enough sorry!
Thinking of selling the M3, and getting a non-M E30 and doing a s50 swap... And pocketing the left overs.
-
Right on.
So, who wants to buy the M3?
Sigh.
-
Oh come on. Does that make it harder or easier to beat them?
-
Maybe we should find another local forum and challenge them.
BMW guys vs. Honda guys?
Lol sigh.

Never shot a paintball gun before, but if it's anything like a real gun, I suppose I would be ok.
I watch lots of war movies...
-
Mmm WiBimmers shooting day?
Maybe we should go paint balling. Though I've never done it, it would be fun to shoot at some of you
-
That's supposed to say "buy a gun for work" but tapatalk doesn't seem to let me edit posts.
-
I support the wing. Wingless looks stupid.
Buy a gun or work? Aren't you a mall security guard? Do they let you have a gun?
-
What a waste. I suppose if someone was a collector it would be fine, but how lame!
I have a "friend" in the UK that has two E30 M3 evo's he bought new. One he mods, the other sits in the garage and has like 5000 KM.
I suppose if I was rich, maybe I could see doing that. But nowadays I do not see new M3's holding value like the original.
