From DTM....

To JDM...

I'm sure all of you are wondering "WHY?!?!?!?"

Well, to make a long story short, it's not fun to pay more in insurance every month than your actual monthly car payment.

I'll be documenting it's build-up over the coming months.

Bring on the hater brigade.

I feel you on saving money!

Whats in store for it?

Keeping it sleeper for now.

First major modification is suspension. Then saving up for either a SR20DET swap or a RB20/25/26DET (this is more likely since pricing is coming down due to it becoming more common).

While the engine is out, I'll look into flywheel/clutch options, upgrade the exhaust, fuel pump, intercoolers, etc.

Just so you don't think I'm doing this all at once, I'm not. This is just the game plan for now. All of this will be taking place over the course of a year or so.

After all the important stuff gets done, I'll most likely do an S15 front end conversion, JDM tails, 5-lug conversion, and do a complete respray.

Funny thing is that all of this will probably cost less than what a Stage 2 Turbo kit from Active Autowerke costs for an E36 M3.

330Ci is GONE. Only things left are the brakes and intake. Should have bought it/swapped for it when you had the chance.

how much did the swap cost for the other dude?

tdc · #8 (**permalink**) 04-19-2004, 06:32 PM

Absolutely nothing. It was a straight swap. Sucks for you.

How much for the whole brake system off your 330ci, how many miles and what condition is everything in. thanks.

PM sent, AMG.

And could we stop going off-topic please. If you are interested in any of the two items I have left from my 330Ci, just PM or e-mail me.

Thanks!
