242 + e46m3 = 262 W (episode 2)

Jack · 10-12-2014, 11:49 AM

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

repasta

a week later I picked up a 1982 242 T to start building it up
Thanks Luke and Gary

Then yesterday (10/11/14) I stumbled upon CJs old 242.....

Couldn't pass up the deal

Thanks again Luke and Gary
I just saved myself 6 months worth of work.

parts that will go on black 262

parts I have
flathood
early flathood grille/lights
240 LSD

I will try to get these mounted e46 coilovers with spindles - look really close (I paid $62 for the pair)

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!

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.

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

Jack · 10-12-2014, 10:51 PM

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

said wheels. I paid $80 for all 4

volvobrage · 10-13-2014, 05:04 AM

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.

Leon_pp · 10-13-2014, 08:56 AM

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

Stiggy Pop · 10-13-2014, 09:12 AM

mmmhmm black 242's

Switch3d · 10-13-2014, 09:29 AM

**** 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.

Rfoltz53 · 10-13-2014, 11:53 AM

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

badvlvo · 10-13-2014, 12:41 PM

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

Backing plate for late dash was made by volvogt

And a set of E21 Recaros that will go into this thing. $45 (1/2 off sale also)

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.

10-13-2014, 01:02 PM

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

volvobrage · 10-13-2014, 03:15 PM

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