    got an update, i bought an M50 from jake on friday. 

    IMG07391zps62e1dba7.jpg

    i started pulling my motor from my E30 today. 

    IMG07471zps00361991.jpg

    it was going horrible and then it got even worse. i had the rear end of my car on jack stands and i had the front down trying to break loose a wheel bolt and then the rocking caused my car to roll back and fall off of the stands and one ruptured my gas tank. my stupidity was very great today, because i have no idea where my chocks were. im assuming i moved them because they were in the way or something.

    i did however decide today that ill be putting in a fuel cell :P . i did get the motor dropped down today and the only thing left is picking the front of the car up and pulling the motor out.

    im glad i went with dropping the subframe. i dont think i couldve done it by myself if i had to lift it out.

            yes, it was pretty scary having to jack the car back up and then 20 minutes later have to go under it again. im taking extra precautions to make sure the car is sturdy now.

                He is done with his E30. He is parting it out. It's a very sad thing to hear but it's what he wants. R. I. P. jakes E30 drift car :(

                            well i finally got my motor to my house. it came yesturday but the box truck we used was too tall for us to lift out with a normal engine jack. we ended up putting it on a car trailer and using a pallet jack to move it in today.

                              the car looks great so far. on a side note, would you be willing to sell the intake and the valve cover? and also i bought the lip off of jakes drift car. R.I.P.

                                      i agree with the stroker.

                                      would be sweet.
