[boostAbear]

my buddy jay with the flat green 240 was sayin your gettin rid of it??

[brewster240]

i still have it.

its just kinda on the back burner right now, im in the process of moving to a place with a big shop, and decided to wait till i get there to do the build right.

expect updates to start mid october.

nice man, can't wait to see it...

Im currently looking for a shop, I have to many things to keep in one place. Im currently using my girlfriends fathers shop which is huge, but I want my own place...

i sold my s13, but i kept the sparco out of it for the m30.

so things havent worked out in my favor lately.

i was planning on moving into a new place 2 months ago, with a shop to do work on my cars as well as side work.

wound up getting stuck in my current apartment again, which isnt horrible, but its not a place where i can work on cars and shit.

i have also had a shit situation at work, we have been bought out and new management came in and fucked everything around, fired a bunch of people, changed all our shifts, just made a real mess of things.

anyway, ive got about 2-3 months till the drift season starts again up here in the northeast, and i really want to get better. so, ive decided to sell off my toys. the bmw daily driver will be gone, was supposed to be gone already but have been having paperwork trouble with the new owner. selling my 4 wheeler. tryingto sell my streetbike. gonna try to get some cars to fix and flip for profit. will probably have a bunch of parts for sale soon also, including my wheels. i would love to keep the wheels, but i need new coilovers and some other shit more then i need bling wheels, i can always get another set later on.

its been warm lately, and i have a week off starting wednesday so if the weather holds out, im going to try to get some things going again, and shoot some pis to update this long overdue build thread.

For what its worth man, I so very much feel your pain. Just bought a Scion Xa for my wife and I can't do shit at the apartment complex and have to pay a shop to do everything. On oil place (Mobil) wanted to charge me $209 to change the 4 quarts of transmission flud. No thanks. Apartment living sucks ass.

soooo...

just got laid off from work yesterday.

which means i have lots of time now to put on all the parts ive been collecting.

its been warm up here lately too, so i got that going for me.

i was looking at your car and i have 91 infiniti m30 also and the suspension needs to be replaced and i cant find any aftermarket struts or control arms could u give me some diretion on what i can do i would appriciate it alot

[iLLBiLL]

Damn sorry to hear about the job dude but at least you will have time to get the M30 up to par Hope everything works out.

[brewster240]

car finally in where i can work on it, and i finally have lots of time.









pulled the engine and trans as one







put the engine up on the stand and test fit the turbo manifold. i have to pull off both manifolds and replace some broken studs. im upgrading to the 10mm studs from the vg33e. im also cleaning and spraying the block down with some fresh black paint.



welded the return for the turbo oil onto the pan



stripped all the a/c, abs, and emissions crap out of the bay, and used massive amounts of degreaser. looks pretty good. i was going to paint it, but i think that will wait till next year, its in better shape then i thought, and i want to save up as much money possible for tires and whatever other little things might come up.

[iLLBiLL]
