johnprusinski Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 So I bought another E30 to have fun on the weekends. This is one fun ride to beat the living hell out of and break multiple traffic laws at once. as of right now it doesn't run right due to it being an E30. its got a 3.1L m20 in it with a couple of supporting mods to the engine. my plan is to do a couple things with it and take it to some track days and just have a fun time with it.

P_Roloff Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 What happened to the m20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 (cuts in rudely and doesn't allow OP to answer) It was brought downtown to the MSOE campus to donate it to an E30 owner that attends there, but they couldn't locate him as he was a hermit in some dark corner completing a lab report so he scrapped it. That or he sold it to someone slightly north of FDL and slightly south of Appleville pick one P_Roloff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The management died on the car and i didn't have the time, energy and money to buy a new management system. I had an opportunity to get some cash for it so i took it. Fast forward a few years later i had enough cash to start an LS swap. Jdesign and P_Roloff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnprusinski Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 update, so i bought an LS1 with a T56 on the internet. It is out of an 04 GTO. I then got rid of all the stuff i don't need and i decided to replace the clutch right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnprusinski Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Next thing i did was mock up the motor and trans. I spent a lot of time hammering out the trans tunnel. I think it would've been easier to just cut it out and build a new one. jc43089, SteelBlue and Jdesign 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnprusinski Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 The car is starting to look like a car now. Front went back on and after three years I'm surprised i had all the bolts to get it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnprusinski Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I had a buddy come over to start on the custom headers for the swap. I went with 1.75" headers. Drivers side pictured below. HipMF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
