E30 M50 tear down kinda thing

[Brian.]

it breaks sound ordinances at race tracks. Theres only a few he can run at with that set up on max. He can't put resonators/mufflers on it due to the pressure of the engine, it'll literally destroy them.

I saw someone at an autocross stuff a parking cone on their tailpipe to meet sound level requirements. They let him through and he ran like that but I remember it falling off every run.

Also, I looked it up, and a lot of guys with around 400whp are at 275+ in the rear. That's wide man.

I'm powerless without pics of new parts

[Brian.]

Oh I know. Stanceworks is way worse. If you don't daily update your thread with new 3pc rims, or some crazy suspension shit, you get lost in the sauce

removable core support is a great idea. interested to see how you will do yours.

I first saw the idea on r3v, but Im going to do it a bit differently. Hopefully lots of pictures and updates to come tonight to get this thread back on track. Even if I wasnt going to replace the core support anyway I think this is an awesome idea for an car/e30. Hopefully it goes well!

[Brian.]

I'm in for this! Hope you get a ton done tonight!

Mini update:

MLS head gasket and 1-piece timing chain tensioner have been ordered! These are the last of the parts needed (I think at least) to put my motor back together!

[Brian.]

Did you get that 1/4" head gasket I refereed you to?

I will make my front-end removable one of these days. I didnt even need an engine hoist back in high school when I swapped a 2.0 16v into an 85 Golf. I simply rolled the engines in and out on furniture dollies. The I6+transmission reaches some pretty steep angles on its way in and out of an E30 otherwise.
