so if you replace unreliable parts from the factory, then are they reliable?

just wondering if any of you agree/disagree with car throttle on this one.

Why the miata hate! I must say I thought I would never own one but the driving experience is really unique! It's like driving a go cart.

Why do we see members cars FS posted on craigslist and mentioned here by other members, rather than see a FS ad posted? 

Do you mean a FS ad posted on wibimmers?

Laishes.... you are a week too late my friend, you could have traded me for my sweet sweet Camry. 

think of all the fun you could have had banging it off the limiter and curb stomping the brake pedal

HAHAHAHA!!!

If anyone is interested you can toss me a text and we'll talk (608)322-7494. I'd be more than happy to give a discount to a wibimmers member simply because I'd rather my car find a nice home than a shitty one. It's truly a sweet car and the swap was done right so it's definitely a great starting platform. I'm in no rush to sell; this is truly a unique swap in a unique car.

E34 wagon with a solid swap for $3,500: http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/4388101146.html

Is this someone on here?

aye aye cap'n that's me. I need to get a toyota again. it's not that the car gets bad gas mileage (probly averages 20); it's just that it doesn't get what any of my old jap cars used to get (35/40)

Correct. I just thought because he said he torqued it down and it broke it would be in there?

Awesome; I'll check today to make sure the old one isnt in there; and to make sure i cant get it out

Rowleym said:

Yea I said that after we went back to my house... We're good at this. 

I'll try and check today. because if the old one is out we wouldn't have to drop the subframe?

Rowleym said:

He put it into 3rd, about 2500 rpms, down a hill, and that was enough torque to lock up the lsd haha. I thought he was joking around. HE WASN't

I'M FAUKING SORE FROM DIGGING MY ASS OUT YESTERDAY(and his..)

I even had the clutch partially in going down hill. I don't know what % lock my LSD is but holy shit...

Not to mention my tires aren't made for the snow or they don't have enough tread... minaswell be on ice!

Laishes said:

Most likely the subframe will have to be dropped to access the bolt (am i wrong?) after that is done we'll most likely do the oil pan gasket with a fresh oil change.

Correct. Has to be dropped to remove old one..

Rowley...

We probably should've checked to make sure the old one was still in there with a screwdriver and a flashlight or something

Snap said:

Sounds like you were texting while driving / DUI / brain / dreaming about M20 swaps.

I may have been under the influence... of something..

Nope... Nope... Nevermind....

It must've been the m20 swap daydream.

Slid into the ditch..... The first great rage drift of 2014 has happened

Lol yup. Not used to the torquey M30

So after a nice drive up to Green Lake Wisconsin yesterday; me and Rowley found out a few things...

One of the subframe bolts is completely missing

The engines leaking some oil out of the oil pan gasket

The underbody is spotless. same with the rockers. However, both front fenders will most likely need to be replaced at some point due to them rusting on the bottom.

My wagon and snow do NOT mix.

A turbo will eventually be added

The plan of attack you ask???

Well...

Most likely the subframe will have to be dropped to access the bolt (am i wrong?) after that is done we'll most likely do the oil pan gasket with a fresh oil change.

Wire wheel and sand any surface rust that is on the doors/body and prime it to prevent it from rusting further.
