With being 'between' VW's at this point in time, our 2002 satisfies our classic car urges.

looks like a good project car mate. I hear that megasquirt is a bi**h to set up and tune but i guess there are more people in VIC that know their way aroung megasquirt. In perth there are only a few.
What plans do you have for the suspension?

Just found my old E30 318is on carsales ! It seems to have travelled back in time but! The K's are now alot less than they were, in fact so far back they are at a figure that would have clicked over before I even bought it! I bought it in Jan 04 and stuck around 50 tho on it a year for around 6 years.

Still looks good but.

i replaced the centre bearing on the driveshaft over the weekend, not too hard, but i didnt put the 2 pieces of the driveshaft exactly the way they were. Felt like the car is gonna fall apart from all vibrations!! Had to take it off again and do it properly. What a PITA!!

Fire!!!

[balkanac]

this is why i dont like engine swaps. It never works properly and you are usually left without something. That v8 will not fit in the engine bay just like that

[ozgti]

Yes it does. The reason for the fire was the alternator shorting out on a hose clamp. Else it ran fine. It's been in 3 different E30s since. It's probably the best engine conversion for a touring/cabby as they are better balanced than a sedan body.
