Ok, so im in no way in a rush to get rid of this thing, im just seeing whats out there. this was a project when i first picked it up, and over the last few months ive put almost $6k in just parts and re-doing the work that was done by previous owners lol. id really like to trade it for something else interesting, something rhd, built, streetbikes, choppers, anything crazy, offer up lol. by all means text me for any questions, 352-403-7013

**BTW this is a 100% Daily Driver pump gas streetcar**

**Cons**
body has very small imperfections here and there, not bad whatsoever, not bad for a 25+yr old car
No A/C, P/S, kinda a given for a swap like this. sunroof and windows open so hasnt been a problem
passenger window regulator just took a shit, just havent gotten to fix it. they are literally like $20 for the part.

pics show progress from when i picked it up to how it currently sits. havent mounted the wheels yet so pictures show other set.

[h2v7]

that is so sick i

[P-Funk alot]

this shts no joke.. but how you gonna stop it. i dont think those fc brakes r gonna hang. bad ass though man

[400hpGSXR]

lol thanks guys, its quite a handful, but just the looks you get sitting at a stoplight are well worth it. getting into boost at any speed breaks loose lol. as for the brakes, you'd be quite surprised on this car. but lets keep this going.

[400hpGSXR]

http://cdn.head-fi.org/0/07/07d4ba6f_282-mother-of-god.jpeg

lol thanks. btw kinda off topic, but nice tumblr, quite a few nice E30's haha.

[Mofuhcka]

lol thanks. btw kinda off topic, but nice tumblr, quite a few nice E30's haha.

Thanks man, the photoset that has the license plate E30 Kid is my friend lol

[400hpGSXR]

tell him ill trade him, but i keep my motor/turbo/trans lmao

[MasonBarnard]

is it streetable? how well done is run

[400hpGSXR]

Car is very streetable. Its my dd. Car was tuned on 10lbs on pump gas so no worries. Car will be getting retuned next week to make all the new parts ive added work together lol.

[400hpGSXR]

Sunday bump

[FusionR240sx]

sounds insane.

[400hpGSXR]

Lol thanks. Car is now on a trailer ready to be brought to get tuned at Ramseys Performance tomorrow

[thizzen4]

damn can u say balller sick build loving the color of turbo and how cclean the engine is

[iRONDONkey]

damn dude, how do you even grab traction...

[400hpGSXR]

Thanks guys. Its been a big work in progress. But lol at traction, driving normal is fine but getting in boost, even just speeding up to change lanes its broke loose haha.

[future]

Where are the videos on the street?

[400hpGSXR]

None yet. Just dropped it off at the tuners so maybeee when its done i might take some.

[05subysti]

holy f**k this is the most awesome swap ive seen in a while. just idling sounds like a monster! GLWT/S

[blackrb240]

How's the fuel mileage (lame question but humor me lol)

[400hpGSXR]

I really couldnt tell ya lol. It wasn't that great but yet again it ran super rich when i got it. But its getting tuned now to make this run way better.

[400hpGSXR]

Sunday bump. Keep these trades coming.

[stayclassy]

Bump for a sick build. GLWS!

[400hpGSXR]

thanks, still looking for trades.

[Triumphx]

Very nicely done sir, how much are you trying to get for it? If you were to sell outright

[ForeignMuscle]

I'm in for the dyno graph. I'm not a Ford or BMW guy but I can respect this. Looks very well done.

Is the engine rebuilt, factory? Compression ratio?

[400hpGSXR]

As for price wise, shoot me an offer. And motor has stock internals but ARP everything. Car is tuned at a safe 10lbs. I built it to be a reliable, really fun and different daily driver.

[Huntsman2007]

Any numbers though? Interested in a 86k mile vert with a rb25 and ppg trans?

[ForeignMuscle]

Tuned on a dyno? Is that a factory engine with how many miles? Or stock rebuild?

[400hpGSXR]

Text me about the 240, 352-403-7013. But yes it is dyno tuned by a very reputable shop down here called ramseys performance. Motor when i got it was garbage, so i bought a bone stock, never opened 40k mile motor that a friend had as his spare motor, and i then bought everything brand new to put into it. Crank rods and pistons and heads are factory. Heads were taken to a machine shop to have checked and cleaned with new valves and valve seals as well as new pushrods. So motor is very strong and reliable enough to drive cross country if you wished to do so.

[ForeignMuscle]

Awesome. So what did the dyno say at 10psi??

[meano_lover]

oh damn. rediculous e30. good work. i like your style.

[Supra92]

Is this car reliable, as in could it be driven from there to...lets saaaaaay texas? lol. Would you trust the car to hold up? Are there any problems with it as it sits?

[400hpGSXR]

I absolutely would. This was and still is my dd. Like i said internals were left stock and boost was set so it could be a fun and reliable dd. And no there are no problems. Car was finished and tuned by ramseys performane. I had them keep it and completely go through it and anything that even seemed a tad off was replaced or fixed.

[ForeignMuscle]

So I'm guessing you're completely avoiding my question. If it was dyno tuned, share how much power it made. I'm sure anyone else interested would like to know..

[400hpGSXR]

Not avoiding the question. I myself am waiting to get the car back from the tuner.dennis ramsey who owns Ramseys performance told me that he was aiming for a safe 450rwhp at 10psi. This man knows what hes talking about so im not one to question it. When i get final dyno numbers and the graph itself i will be more than happy to post them for everyone. Thank you for the concern though.

[R.Pratt]

[400hpGSXR]

No thanks on those trades. And as for cash price, not quite sure. Make an offer. But i will say that within the next few weeks i will be replacing the full interior with all black leather seats, doorcards, mtech steering wheel, and chrome kidney grille.
