It is 750 dollars and we’re going to use it as a track/drift car. We’re also driving out to San Luis Obisco to pick it up! And we’re likely going to remove the stock engine and swap in something.

I wonder how am the hell am I supposed to wire that thing. Haltech? raided ECU?

What do I look like? The problem solving wizard? Haha I have no idea I just think it’d be cool.

I think it actually will...as it's around the same price as a LS1 swap

Plus it’s lighter than a LS. Besides everyone does LS swaps

This is gonna sound like a dumb question, but why buy a somewhat unreliable car for track? I mean, I know you’re giving it a new engine, but if you’re driving it on the track, I don’t think you want it to have the chance of breaking down. Again, that sounds really stupid, and I’m not against you picking up an E30, but I was just wondering why an old BMW instead of an old Corolla or something.

Swap in a 6.7L powerstroke!

That's gonna leave a mark! > CCC (formerly CyclistCarCoexist) 12/20/2015 at 10:05

Saw the ad and read it to mean “ My mom is going to kill me if I don’t get this thing out of here”.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > Under_Score 12/20/2015 at 10:12

Because the chassis is excellent for track use, way better than any corolla.

Makes a lot of sense. Thank you. That could be why I’ve never seen a 92 Corolla in a track picture haha.

Also it’s rear wheel drive, whereas the corolla is front wheel drive. It’s extremely difficult to drift a front wheel drive car.

And you could still say it has a straight six

Stick a 3800 Series II Supercharged in its butt. Mid-engined RWD E30 drift missile. Optional: replace automatic with Pontiac G6 6-speed manual.

E30s are pretty reliable, not sure what you’re talking about...?

I think Ford has a controls pack out that lets you swap these into other cars. It’s probably like $1800 though.
