Are those Andy's wheels?

 Yes, my friend paul traded him for the HRE's that are on Andys FC

Earl said:

So....you need to buy them

Nah, Im good.

Those wheels look infinitely better than the HRE's.

I agree, slightly. The rolling DIA isnt large enough and the rears look oddly small in person. Once I fix my barrel I am going to sell my HRE's and get some futura's or Types A's.

Why copy when they could be yours? http://madison.craigslist.org/pts/5047025132.html

Go on my dear friend.....

Oh wow. Much too large for my likings. No wonder why there is so much stretch.

Def like the look of the RS's, however the tires are too small (unless you went with airride).

Your eyes are too big=) Please dont tell me you prefer 18's over 17's on e36's too=P

Nope, 19's.

lower it and keep the RS's

[Jdesign]

Everyone likes those RS's so much. I mean they are cool, but they just don't do it for me. I'm pretty sure I want a set of Futuras.

[Earl]

It's just that everyone likes them more than the HRE's=P

Yeah, I hear that. I like the way 5 spoke/ more open style wheels look but im not sold on the way the HRE's look on my car either. Mesh wheels always look bland to me unless they are fully polished or white.

[Earl]

Get the 5 spoke Nine1Forged wheels=)

[Jdesign]

these?

[Earl]

Yes=)

So I am way long overdue for an update. I started the Swap and will post pics and such in the next few days. In the meantime I am curious if anyone has some good input on booster-less brake setup or converting their E30 to run a smaller brake booster.

[Jdesign]

for an update, here is the motor I picked up. I already started gathering goodies but I need to control myself. As I have learned in the past, if you go a little to far, it gets expensive and motivation starts to lack. 

The last day of it running. it was only a matter of a few hours before everything was out and the fun of wiring and cleaning began.

Out She goes!!

Out with the Old....SOON to be in with the new. LOL

The dirty wiring nightmare begins. I am deleting my A/C and my ABS. Its completely insane how many wires are used for just these two items. I also am removing the SRS system since I have an aftermarket wheel anyways. I am taking the time to trace all the wires back to the dash and ECU's to make sure I don't have any extras floating around. Lees mess+ less confusion if I ever need to trace any issues.

After a quick rinse. most of the wires are labeled and removed here. I am starting to figure out how to run them all through the frame/fender for the headlights, horns, and other gadgetry at the front of the car. I hope to have only my fuse box and coolant reservoir left in the engine bay.

.....And done.
