WIBIMMERS

Went out to the parents house bout a week ago where my derelict looking e28 with snow mounded on has been sitting for the past 3 months and happened to have my keys for it.. Battery was still hooked up and was thinking there's no way this beast will start but sure enuf lights came on and hit the ignition and she fired and purrs like a kitten long live the m20!!!

I worked on a mustang today... It was awful Ford is garbage

Some say that this bmw sits on the smallest wheels fitted to a bmw... and some say that the Mr. Menard is digging the M20>M50 game... All we know is this car is gonna be badass once a bacon bits line is running at hormel lol

its just any time you get on the brakes the car probably asks "you sure you wanna stop eh?"

I guess bfinley will have to start our own jdmbimmers forum lol if I do the 1j but rather have a power plant from the motherland

The more I drive around the more I notice how rare my e46 is u don't see any black on black sport package sedans with a stick

OK.. so a little status update on the seta swap e28 it may not look like much but just been doing all the piddly odds and ends on the car. I also did spend some time with a can of brakleen in the bay cleaning up any grease or dirt from not seeing the day of light in over 30 years. So without further ado some more pictures.

All this work to add one more pedal!!!

Got the steering column back in. which for some reason was a bigger bitch to do that I remember lol

Got the auto shifter out and that was easier said than done you have to almost completely remove the center stack to get its fat ass out of there.

Now just need to order parts and BAM!!! engine and trans are going back in and I will be posting burnout vids as soon as any of the bugs are sorted out.

Ok finally back on to do an update... Last time I left off on here was I got most all my parts for the Super ETA swap and manual swap.... Well here some pics and some info for whats been done.

Well I removed the oil pan and cleaned up all the nastiness and didn't get any pics of that just due to wanting to get it out of the way and wasn't all too entertaining just getting all the nasty hard gasket off and putting the new gasket on. But then I moved on to the timing belt and water pump. This was just one swipe from under the crank!

Timing belt and water pump are on! That was so easy to do on the m20 (Does anyone have an M20 Water pump pulley? need one ASAP!!!)

The blurry engine has taken flight!!!

Shits about to go in

Going in

Close... But no cigar

Finally after wiggling and jacking the trans up and down about a bajillion times I got the engine to set down on its mounts and bolted in the trans crossmember!!!

Here's what my old trans bushings looked like compared to the new ones

Starting to look like a car again!!!

Bye bye gangster lean

The harness is "in" lol

The condenser and the radiator are now bolted in place some of the hoses are set in place also the exhaust the driveshaft and the heatshield are in the car now

The shifter is in thanks to Mr Menard for his mad fabbing skills

 Just need a few things and new fluids and its ready to roll and do some maaddd!!! burnouts

Get that shit done and over to the show cyoung

cant we just go back to when traction control, abs, and air bags were optional? We managed to live without them then, what makes a congressman say yes I want all these cars to weigh more than a damn whale with all these features that must be standard we do have a head on our shoulders and can still think for ourselves... I speak for most of us, those who disagree go buy a prius.

Sorry about double quote and no post phone is bein stupid what I was trying to say is u gotta have a parts e28 for that reason and also I cruise Madison almost every weekend and I have never seen ur Beemer before? Wtf?

I was a speedee driver for the spring green sauk prairie merrimac plain and lodi areas I know some killer roads around there I smell a meet brewing?

Some of you might have seen this e30 around the eastside. I play softball with the owner. I like this car but the square headlights are an acquired taste. He is the original owner, makes really good money but loves his e30 too much to "upgrade"

Dr leadfoot are u sure this isn't your old car??? Or just goldmember inspiration?

Love the e28's. get some wheels on that e46!

I'm perfectly happy with the wheels on the e46 I just plastidipped them gunmetal grey and they look great for the time being and I just put new skins on them anyways. The main thing that needs wheels is my e28 I hate the bottlecaps on there.

industrialsized's hella hooptie was best in show!!!

I may just make the trip over there now that I have shat tonz of free time to get a sticker maybe have a small meet up??? Got a new job and only really work 2-3 days/ week and gonna be going apeshit on the beemers

story time noaw!!!

Snaps house on Friday???

Even e28 prices have risen lately I picked mine up locally for $800 and drove it for 2 years and got a parts car for $500 very recently and it was like pulling teeth to get it for that I think people are realizing there are fewer and fewer each day and that round badge on the front rear and on the steering wheel is fetching premo dollars now

Nope ur doing the 2.7i build with boost
