Whats up guys!
My name is Nick and I like cars.
hmm... Figure thats not gonna cut it.
Well allow me to give some background on myself. I joined SW a little over a year ago and made this intro thread Little more familiar?
Good.
Well since then I replaced my 325e "eta" engine (2.7L M20 b27) with a '90 325i motor (2.5L M20b25). With my limited skills, time, and tools, the swap took me a total of 4 months to complete
However it was all worth it in the end.
Sorry for any inconsistencies, most of this took place exactly a year ago and I'm mostly copying and pasting from my thread on r3v
Lets get it started in here!

Phase one: Boredom after graduation leads to blown grad money :giggle:
Got the car from my cousin a couple days after my birthday (precisely August 8th) Ironically had a church camp the same weekend and had to wait to fawn over my VERY OWN car; God's chariot!!
Cool rare stuff
Yes it's on a jack
Minor(?) faults
2 tone
Succumbed to temptation and my first mods arrived!
Dinan chipped ECU
Clutch stop<---GET ONE!!
Friend donated two free Alpine speakers from his vert... Only two working speakers :tongue:
Ran like a champ but had a FILTHY engine bay!!
Obligatory strut tower pic (you couldn't know there was a sticker there before cleaning!)
I had a hunch that the older couple up the street would trade me my wheels + cash for the style 10's on their vert so I gt bussy making them presentable...
Most awkward convo of my life 1:
Anyway:
All (mostly) clean!
More packages FTW!
Prior break in; evidence on trunk itself and passanger door lock (it's actually in the car)
More tomorrow... That's a start though, innit?
