What was your first car?
« Reply #90 on: July 02, 2011, 04:48:19 AM »
Very nice. When I had my 1973? 2002tii I thought about how awesome it would be to have an m42 in it. I've seen people with a lot of time and money do the M3 (s14) swap but for a daily driver that is over-kill not to mention very expensive. The 2002tii is actually fast enough stock because of how light it is, but the m42 makes more power and is super-smooth :D by comparison. Why not do this swap when most 2002's you buy will need an engine rebuild anyways.

M42 Sounds like shit though! :)
70's 3.0 CSL, now that's a nice sounding BMW..

I don't think people realize just how crazy an m42 in a 2002 would be. Fact of the matter is an M3 motor in there equals to a death trap. I don't see the point of building a show car you race in a straight line once a month. Throw-around cars built for mountain roads with balance in mind are much better.

1992 Plymouth Colt.


1.5l I-4 with 82 horsepower, 3-speed automatic.

The car drank about a quart of oil every 50 miles and the clutch ended up giving out. I bought it from my Mom for $500 (she ripped me off.)

My first car was an old black Chrysler Concorde I affectionately named Lulu. <3
Nothing special but my friends and I did prove that it would make it to 130 mph. :D

'60 Chevy Biscayne 2 dr HT.  6 cyl, 3sp column shift, Army green inside and out.
Rusted out floor with a 2x4 holding up the front bench seat - it only rocked when you stopped and started.  That was a few years ago, like '68.

1990 E30 318iS. Brilliant red. Immaculate.

I sold it when it needed a rebuild. Worst mistake of my life.

But I just picked up another one yesterday :)

my first car was a 61 Ford, Fairlane, but 61 was the last year before they down-sized it-so  a full sized road hog, 292 v-8, 3 on the tree manual,bought for 300 bucks, went thru 2 junkyard trannies after the original blew, had it for 5 years and sold it for 400.   I dont know what happened, but 1 month later it was out front of the local junkyard with a totalled front end.   I dont know what he ran it into,  but I bet the old girl left her mark:o

95 Honda Civic DX Hatchback
It was clean, comfy, and I never had a problem with it until the transmission just died on me. Great car. Bought it for $1800 and sold it for $1500 :cool:
