RIP: e30 :(

[Thighs]

theres now a half dollar sized hole in the block.

on the good side, after the rod came out it drove nearly a mile back to my house. LOL

[Thighs]

on the positive side, it doesnt knock anymore. lol

[EJ25RUN]

why rip E30? You can get another engine for it.


Btw..... :(

[Thighs]

yeah, but im pretty unbelievably broke right now. this is right before i start working again and in the middle of the quarter for school. talk about GREAT timing.

[Frög]

im sorry to hear that :(

[2turbo4u]

[Thighs]

ill get pics when i tear the motor apart to see if my head is salvageable... this could be a good time to build a 2.7 stroker... :)

[2turbo4u]

Good luck man 2.7 do it man!

[Elbow]

[speedminded]

For $1,100 I'll give you an OBD1 m50 complete with e34 oil pan and harness.

[Thighs]

[Benefit]

[Elbow]

no....just take it out and run on 3 cylinders duh

:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: Wow...3 eh?

[Benefit]

oh and dont forget the plate, or else ull leak oil...

its gunna be a bit noisy too

[DinanM3atl]

I believe it was an m20 and not an m10 or m42.


Real cars have straight sixes ;)

[Benefit]

:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: Wow...3 eh?

i only know what a S52 is...brother be talkin bout it(hes got a m3)

[Elbow]

Yeah, it's a 6 lol.

[Benefit]

hmm, would that even work...taking the piston and rod out, wont the injectors flood the crank case = thin oil = more rod bearing spinnage LOL

[Benefit]

i guess as long as u have the plate on there....

[Elbow]

Unplug the injector for that cylinder, make it a true I-5.

[Benefit]

lol thighs do it!!!!!!

[Logan]

I feel you man, I have an e30 in the garage I need to pull the head on.

Skipped timing and thats all she wrote.

I pulled her out of the garage and put it under a cover for a spring time project.

[matthewAPM]

carma sucks

[Thighs]

^^ i think you'll find that out later in life. my bad carma came from beating the hell out of a motor that i didnt know the true mileage/history of, not making shit up and lying my ass off about EVERYTHING.

anyways, m20s arent expensive, but i motors are getting harder to find. luckily i found one for 350 and im borrowing the money from a family member to go get it on saturday.

lol @ the idea of converting it to a 5 cylinder... i thought of that though. but i had to cut the timing belt to get the head off (lazyass ftw).

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Ill buy it like that, PM ME :)

[wannab20hatch]

sorry to hear that man. theres a whole e30 in the driveway but im pretty sure my little brother would be pissed to see the motor missing. even though he cant drive it yet. lol

[Thighs]

yeah he may not like that. hopefully ti will be running before the middle of next week at best. :)

[wannab20hatch]

Good to hear.

[Thighs]

yup. ill keep ya'll posted. :goodjob:

[matthewAPM]

like i said, carma sucks.

BTW, my car sounds real nice!
