philwalter 30 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Wow - will also be keeping an eye. Where did the E30 shell come from ? Are those some Style 5's in the background up for grabs ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2957 Report post Posted July 19, 2010 Very interesting! Will be watching this avidly. The E46 must have been pretty badly trashed to make it a parts car, doesn't look too bad from the photos, but then I'm no expert like you guys. You don't happen to have a spare S14 engine coming out of the E30 M3 by any chance ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't happen to have a spare S14 engine coming out of the E30 M3 by any chance ? The E46 has damage which is purely cosmetic. Options are parting it out, welding a coupe roof on and turning into a racecar, selling the SMG gear and repowering with manual V8 are some ideas. S54B32 transplant into the E30 M3 is the main priority at the moment.PM me your details with regard to the S14. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't happen to have a spare S14 engine coming out of the E30 M3 by any chance ? Don't forget the gearbox too Jon. If it is a Euro spec box it will be dogleg first and if yank will be normal 5 speed overdrive pattern. Ray will confirm. My S14 waiting patiently to be used and abused Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) There can always be more awesome, but within practical limits I'd say Ray's project is right out there. For reference, an example of more awesome: Edited July 19, 2010 by CamB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
