m42b32 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 The best part wasn't the launches or even how awesome the build is but rather the running m20 bolted to nothing but a pallet and shooting fire haha Actually though that's pretty awesome Edit: I can't read, m50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Now thats what I call a build! Fantastic!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Neat, I appreciate the ingenuity and work that went into that, but let me play the devil's advocate/tsweers for a sec. mid/rear engine conversions should be reserved for FWD cars that are trying to become RWD cars. The engine would fit perfectly fine in front of the driver. Semi-trailing arm rear suspension will take some SERIOUS fine tuning or thorough knowledge of vehicle dynamics to return the car back to stock stability and predictability. The rear roll center height and rear toe out due to weight are two examples.I did not see how custom they went with the suspension so will assume it is semi-trailing arm./bah humbug rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 cool project in that no one has done it (or very few) useless project in that e30s already have good weight distribution, so it doesnt take such a gigantic effort to balance them out. he lost the trunk, rear seats, and gained an empty engine bay (which is useless).
