Hey guys,
I used to have a BMW e46 328ci, which was in the works of a 2JZ swap. Unfortunately, due to money constraints and lack of time I had to part out and drop the project. I was and always will be a euro-fanatic, but there's a special place in me for the "other side". An mk4 has always been my dream car and I figured I could bring myself closer to it by dropping the 2jz into the BMW. As luck would have it, when I put up the BMW for sale in hopes of getting into something different... A beautiful mk3 found it's way into my hands.
Its a 1991 7mgte turbo which I'm slowly but surely learning my way around. It's mostly stock with the exception of a warlboro 255, afpr, 3" driftmotion exhaust, 3" downpipe.
I'd like to throw in a 2j per original plan in the near future to run with the big boys and make my way to around 800 at the wheel. It'll be a long journey before I can get there, but it will happen.
For now I want to learn everything I can and get it running 100%. The paint is some cheap enamel, you can see primer showing through in some areas.. I'm thinking of doing a deep midnight black with some purple flake added in. Gotta look at some paint threads to get some ideas.
I'd love any tips and advice that you could give to a new owner!
My current goals are to replace the leaky CPS, replace the PS pump and put on a lexus AFM, 550cc injectors, and EBC to squeeze a bit more power out of the 7m.
It's got 126k on the body and roughly 40k (according to PO) on the 7m.
On to the pics!
