Got my E30 S50 swap
Wow, just wow. f@#king speechless. What a well put together car in every aspect. Perfect combination of my AP1 S2000's rawness, handling, responsiveness, and 'go-kart' feeling with the horsepower and torque of my 6-speed TL... and dat sound. Holy f@#k the exhaust note is amazing. I thought my S2000 with 3" HKS exhaust + 3" high flow cat was good... But the S50 just sounds like heaven.
The previous owner spent a lot of time and money on this car and getting it well sorted, and has basically upgraded everything on it: every bushing, sway bar, mount, all of the suspension, SS brake lines, custom intake, custom exhaust, tune, wheels, CF hood, some Style 5 wheels... just EVERYTHING. It was everything I expected and more. For the right price, too.
I'll shut up now and throw up a couple of pics (more to come later with a REAL camera + photographer):
Spent today cleaning the interior, using Lexol on the seats, door panels, and the dash. Tomorrow I'll wash the engine bay, the car itself, check the air filter, and maybe order some Meguiars M105 and M205 so I can get to work on refreshing the clearcoat on the paint with my Porter Cable DA oribital polisher.

When I told him I paid $9400, he was amazed since the car has had about $18k worth of work put into it, and because it had more done to it than his E30 that went for $2k more. I'd say the car is easily worth $12-13k.
I got an absolute steal in my book!

Nice one
I'm jealous. Still love my S, but I'm really itching to get a regular E30 for a DD.
