Id definitely like to check out that e34

Ill see if I can make it...I am moving at the end of May, so I may still be swamped with unpacking/house shit. It will be at Scooters though

I was a member for a year a while back, never renewed it...didnt see it doing anything for me. I did get an article in one of the immers, that was cool. But, the club as a whole didnt do anything for me.

I know someone looking to replace the m50 in their 525, so this would be perfect. Hopefully don is able to do 2jz as well though Hit me up if you find his number!

Shot you a PM, I think I found it.

nono, 1jz guy

Ill have to see if I can find his contact info, his name is Don... I lost my phone a couple months ago, along with all my numbers so I dont have it anymore. I will look through my e-mail though and see if we had any communication through there. Otherwise, I am sure he will call me one of these weeks.

I dont think that is the guy who builds them. That is the guy that bought the one that was for sale awhile ago. Don charges 5k+ for swap (includes price of engine/parts). Last time I talked to him he was amazed someone was selling one of his cars so cheap.

I was there last year=) what'd you bring? I plan on camping over this year. Prolly out of the back of the Ti...lol

My e34, you probably didnt see it unless you went across the street. We had all staff park in overflow so we could leave the show space open for attendees. I brought it over later on once people started leaving.

Where is this? My parents live just outside of Colgate. I may be able to make this, no promises though....not sure if I will even have my car at that point

Glad to see that more BMW guys are interested this year. I have been trying to get more BMW guys there every year. Only a few show up each year, it would be nice to have a bigger presence. Yes, it is 90% VWs, but its open to anything european. Other brands have showed up, but like Dan said dont expect to park in the show area...we usually send non-euro across the street to over flow parking at the park. I believe last year we had 150-200 cars, and it was raining all day...still a blast. Hope to see as many of you there as possible

May or may not make it...JJO Band camp is that day

Anyone know what good scrap yards in wi? Im going to stop by kadingers in cadott soon and see what they have. im going to try and piece together an s50 or s52 for my e30 if possible.

might be hard to find a scrapped m3 though, guess we will see.

we should make a list of known places that let you pick and pull...would be great to know

Tuesday is softball night

vball for me...

Not making it this year. I went last year and it was a blast, even though it rained. I just dont have the time or funds this year, and have other stuff I had arranged for the weekend

Didnt really wait.... just kind of happened. Was throwing around the idea of an s52 swap, few days later one poped up on CL and made my decision for me.

Not sure how many scrap yards are still pick n pull around here (would like to know though)... I know the place off of hampton is, and they have an e30 there at the moment. As for a wrecked m3, good luck. Better off trying to find a wrecked one of craigslist or something like I did

Hopefully I can make it to this one...would be willing to caravan up with the milw people.

Personally, and this is just what I would do, hold off on the trans swap until you do the motor swap, it will save you alot of headaches. It is much easier to pull and replace the engine/trans as one. Why swap the trans, then have to swap the motor at another date...just making more work for yourself, but just my .02

As for the motor, all the sensors have to be changed, as well as the intake mani. There are 2 adaptors you need that are both available through turner, one for the coolant piping and another for the temp sensors. Exhaust is another issue, depends on if you are going to use the stock m50 1,000 lb cast exhaust manifolds, or the m52 headers. If you go with the headers then you will have to have the egr valve holes welded shut, along with the 02 sensors holes (unless you do what I did and just leave the o2 sensors in the holes and cut the wires) ....probably forgetting something. Are you doing the turbo right off the bat when you swap, or is that a down the line project?

Have any questions, or need some help let me know...its identical to the s52 swap I did in my e34.

Missed out on this one, thats what I get for not visiting the boards in a couple weeks....I even had the day free, ah well. I work in Waukesha, and live in Hartland.

So what exactly are you swapping? Just the trans, or the whole engine/trans. If just the trans you have the idea, you need the trans,shifter/linkage,master and lines, pedal box,flywheel/clutch, driveshaft, and yes you need to swap the dif. ECU should be fine.

If you are swapping the engine that is a whole nother can of worms. If you are swapping the motor, I recommend doing it all at once as it is much easier. As far as brake components, I believe they are virtually the same if not the same...no upgrade there.

I was thinking it would be fun to camp out on the carousel for June sprints. Anyone else in for that?

Never done it for sprints, but have done it for ALMS... it is a blast.
