If sale comes through, it will be gone next week. If not, then it'll be up for sale but still out of the car I cant no longer afford to get/pay 23mpg cuz of the gas prices here in los angeles. This sucks. I really loved this kit, the whine was just OMG! But yea, the gas, cant keep up. Anyway, I'm purchasing a full S52 swap tomorrow which gives about 20/19 mpg. Its going to take TIME to get it swapped. When ever my dad has time then we will work on it. Unless good o' jesse wants to come and help we can do it faster Anyway, that's the new plan. 332ti on its way. If im crazy enough, maybe FI also. I will post pics along the way and i guess this can also be the build thread. I will take pics tomorrow of my current engine bay with the DASC.

I'm buying full complete swap, tranny, and ///M cluster for 2800. | | | 04-16-2008, 12:57 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | yeah, if your getting rid of the DASC for the cost of gas, thats just silly! You know the reason is you want more POWAAAA! FYI, its going to run you alot more than $2800... just so you know... all the little things add up QUICK, trust me. Upgrading differential, brakes, suspension, cooling system, driveshaft, etc... expect to spend at least another $1500 or more. You'd better purchase Jims manual before getting to far into it as well, that will give you a much better idea of all the little things you will need. Good luck! __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 04-16-2008, 02:44 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | did your motor come with dme and radiator too? this will be an exciting build but that wasnt a bad price at all! looking forward to seeing this build! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 04-16-2008, 08:39 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by rwd_king yeah, if your getting rid of the DASC for the cost of gas, thats just silly!
