      I dig it=) Is that a zender kit or what is that? Can we plan to see you at the Fall meet?

      Thanks. Im not sure of the kit to be honest. The previous owner said it was an "unknown kit". The front lip is all fiberglass so someone must have done it themselves? It kind of makes it look like an e28 though, which I like :)

          Heres the very first time driving the car! I know its dark, and the video is sideways, but it sounds amazing. I also welded a spare diff that I had to test it out:

          (The video is public so everyone should be able to see. Also feel free to add me if you want, I dont care!)

            His name is Dan. I know his username over on r3v is straight6pwr, but I havent checked here yet. This is the car my motor came out of:

                          Yeah! Ironically enough a friend of mine sent me his Craigslist ad at like 3 in the morning one day as a joke telling me to buy it. Had my m20 not blown up I never would have gotten it haha. I've never been in a swapped e30 before and my mind is completely blown. I owned a 320hp evo 8, and this car is more fun than that.

                              Absolutetly man! I used the spare diff that came with the car, which im pretty sure is a 2.79 out of an '84-85. Which I guess makes sense because the car is an 84. But I ended up welding it and it's completely amazing. I didn't bother trying to take the LSD off of the other car haha.

                                I built a skid plate last night, but apparently it wasnt enough. Cracked the oil pan on the way to work this morning. Last night was the very first time driving it home with the swap done too. Not too happy right now.

                                  Thats not frickin good! spray some Flex Seal on that biznatch, i'd like to check it out on Saturday.

                                  Youll still see it man! I dont think the crack is bad, because I drove about 15 minutes to work from the point that I THINK I hit it, and theres only a few drops. But thats a few drops too many hahaha. Ive never heard of Flex Seal but I'll have to check it out. There may be hope for it! I just dont want to pull the motor so soon, you know?

                                      Hahahaha that you did :D I thought for sure my skid plate would have worked. After a day of sitting there still isnt that much oil there though? It cant be too bad.

                                          just be aware that it wasnt some rare incident, hits like that are going to happen all the time. i took a shot probably every time i drove somewhere unfamiliar
