Howdy all, from Orlando, new to the site since I just picked up my first TI. I've always wanted one of these or a SLC corrado...The ti won when I started researching swaps!!!! Now my 95 will hopefully soon be joined in holly matrimony with a 328 donor car (S52 would be my first choice but my budget is limiting me since I also have to convert the chassis to manual). Hope to be around for a while....

Welcome!

There are a few of us here in Orlando running around with swapped ti's.

Good luck with the swap, keep us posted!

Welcome to the board. I'm 1.5 hours from you in Tampa Bay. Swaps are great and I would love to see your swap pictures and I'm here to help if you need it. I do own half the street with 4 garages and all tools needed, air tools, lifts and such if you want to do it here. I always wanted to do a swap so I'm game if you want to do it here.

Welcome to the board.

I´m between 15 - 18hours (by plane) away from you and could help to swap

Hope to see some pics of your ti after the swap. I can promise you the driving fun will increase distinctly with the M52B28

Thanks for the warm welcome, Funny...I hardly ever see any TI's around here, only e30's and m3's. I thought I was gonna be one of a kind in these parts. But, I guess it's cool to have other brothers with swaps! As far as the search goes, I've found two 328is Manuals for 2K or less on CL thus far so it seems like I'll be driving a 328TI. I can't really afford one of the M3 partouts on CL. Looks like I'll be trying to get in touch with J!M? for a how to manual . Thanks for the offers for shop space and tools, I think I have that covered but I get into a jam I'll be calling for help, for sure.

Forgot to mention that I picked up a millpoint grey interior and rear m-tech bumper cover off a '99 for a total of 133 DOLLARS! SWWWEEETTTT!!!!! I'm so glad that some junk yards have NO idea of what they're sitting on.
