Why did Sam decide to put the s42 into the Weiss 4door, I thought it was going into the 1600??? Preston
 
P.S. Denis, Your Sig still hasn't changed.

God dammit! I read this heading of this topic (Dude8383 is an ungrateful traitor) and I thought that I have been p*issed in the eye, since I just bought a steering joint from him. I thought this was somekind of ranting thread for him ;)

haha, I like the emphatic "YEAH" at the end of the first clip.

Let's see some sexy in car pulls with that 2.1 :)

It seems to idle surprisingly smooth....i would have expected it to be fairly lumpy with the cams MM run?

Great work on nearly completing one swap......2 to go.....

Ok, first I want to say that this isn't an S42 motor!

If Sam ever log's in to check the thread, I think it goes something like this:

He's over the mod scene and wanted a 4-door commuter car, just a dead reliable sedan to get him around.

The motor in MY car will go into the 1600 and will most likely receive a supercharger!

Really? Are you sure it was me? I'm not quite sure I remember selling a steering joint! But if any of guys are curious I do have great feedback! I have a thread on R3V and here :)

Yeh man, to be honest I was surprised it started on the first shot! The vacuum leak was the little hose of the left where the TPS switch is. Its funny because I reminded myself to hook it up before we started...obviously I forgot :)

The in-car stuff will come once the headlights go back on it and Sam gets plates and all other associated legal stuff out of the way.

Yeh the idle used to be rather lumpy, a lot of it had to do with the M20 lightweight flywheel that MM installed.

We put the stock dual mass and stock clutch on before we swapped the motor into the white car.

After completing this swap, the next 2 will be a piece of cake. In fact, I already decided that the black car will receive the motor from the bottom because it was a PAIN IN THE ASS to drop the motor (the m42) in from the top.

wow my ass is getting big...

ok, the 1600 project is going to take a long long time to finish, I couldn't bear not having my engine in a car for over a year (let's face it, it's going to be at least a year for the 1600 to be close to needing an engine) and... with premium well over $4.00 in NY, I figured on setting the thing up to drive in traffic and putting in a 3.64 LSD to help with with gas. I might be able to get 35+ mpg on the highway.

In general, the white car is going to be all about maintenance v.s modding... it's still going to be a hell of a ride!

by the time we're done, we will have pretty much disassembled 3 E30s, and reassembled two. We have (esp the M42 E30) one of the easiest cars to work on of all time, methinks.

It's been a while!

School and work have been kicking my ass lately so I haven't had much time to work on the motor.

That is a beautiful motor. I hope it goes well for you. Do you know any one who did that with an M42, with all the pics? I would like to see how the oil pump and timing chain look after 100k. I am seriously think of chainging mine. I am hearing a metal chain rolling noise. Like there is a lot of slack. But the funny thing is my car runs reall well. I would appriciate any info. Thanks and good luck.

That inline 4 is the famous MM motor! It was the first one =)

Febi Guibo is the owner of the white car.

We didn't pull anything apart on the MM motor because there was no reason to, the motor has less than 10k on it (i think).
