242 + e46m3 = 262 W (episode 2)
 

I said I wouldn't build another 240.......
I said I wouldn't EVER own another black car...

Then stumbled upon this at a local JY
burned e46 m3 with 6 speed manual 105k.... $540 after taxes

I like where this is going. :nod:

Will defently follow this thread, the S54 engines are awesome!

Gonna be sweet

Good job man! I'd like to take a look at it next time I'm up your way!!!!

It looks weak and unstable. Triangles is what you need!

Thanks everyone!
Cosby - anytime. Im here most of the time

:shh: :oogle:

Did you just say $540 after taxes? For a complete s54 and gear box? That's just theft. Check out r3vlimited for technical advise and wiring. That's were all the s5x engines disappear in e30 engine bays.
Subscribed!

Ronal turbo rimpz?

and ecu ;-)
Awesome I will. I haven't had the time to look into that just yet. This will save me a lot of time searching for the right info


wont clear the e46 caliper - by like 1/4 inch............................:roll:

Pussy, this thread just went from 9.95/10 to a 3/10.

I didnt say I wouldn't try but I think a larger wheel might look better ...

said wheels. I paid $80 for all 4

Ronal turbo Wheels are so awesome!What size are they??
Both Wheels and engine have redicolus prices, where do you get all that stuff?:p

Jack is sleeping with the chubby chola cashier at the junkyard to get his hookups.

very good price for the engine.
HEre in France that kind of engine is something like 3000/5000$

mmmhmm black 242's :)

**** you got the steal of a lifetime on that motor and trans. Also dont lose those center caps on the ronals. They are quite hard to come by.

super stoked to see where this is going to go.

Im excited to see this build for sure! Love how you are picking up the parts for crazy cheap also!

Nice to see CJ's shell is coming back to life.

15x7
I might get the turned into 3 piece by Alex or at a shop

I wish

thats the going price here also

Thanks guys
I also have a GT cluster I got for ... $15 :-P (1/2 off sale) that I restored that might go into this thing. (depending if I can get the speedo to work somehow
Backing plate for late dash was made by volvogt

I still need to pick it up from him. I wasnt expecting to buy another car while at the show... It will have to wait two more weeks. I'm going hunting this week to Idaho.

Serious the Ronals will be the icing on the cake. Get them to fit. 15" Is a good size.

Make the ronals 3 piece and og With 16 or 17" lips and barrels!:D

+1 :)

Yea he said it sat there for 14 years. :lol:

I absolutely love everything about this from the black shell to the Recaros. Awesome!
