WHAT DID MY LS E30 COST?? [EP.12] 

Sweet! Thanks!

Mine too.... it's gorgeous!

SAME..... I would do a drift build if I had one but still... so sexy

Oh but it’s so fun as a street car. Just at any moment you can blast past anyone.

@@slightlyMADcustoms That color choice, interior and exterior, is stunning. It's conservative and understated, but special all at once. This car is a real gem! Thanks for sharing it with us. 👍🏼😎

Thanks dude!

I agree 👍not easy. Question now if the time go back what he will change from project to reached same Gools and results.

Ty bro Jesus

Thank you Jesus

Is that in CAD or US? do you know bro?

@@DrCool-oe6di if it’s CAD then US will be cheaper

It’s rough pricing. Id say it’s CAD not shipped or USD shipped

Thanks so much! We appreciate it

woah its at 13k only 6 days later. Well Deserved.

Thank you!

Thanks dude!

No problem!

Thank you so much!

You got it!

Thanks! We appreciate it!

Thanks so much!!

Lol I got them from Aldo. Pretty good deal I got two pairs of these for $50. Not sure what the name of these ones are specifically but that have lots of nice styles on their website

Thanks so much!

Eyy another local! Yeah we'll be out and about in 9 months once this winter ends.

Oh awesome! Ya I took this thing to menace and Deerfoot a bunch! If you run into any issues with your E30 feel free to message me @slam.bandit

@@slightlyMADcustoms that’s awesome, the E30 body is amazing, cool to know there’s an LS E30 around Calgary. That would be absolutely amazing, I’m thinking of doing something with mine but I’m not sure how long it will be before I get it done. Just maintaining it for now.

Don’t fall into the E30 trap LOL

Thank you!

Happy to help! Thanks so much!

thanks man!

I’ve been considering a mid engine LS E36. Building it like a super car. I think that would be a fun challenge

Thanks, friend

I hacked up a original E30 harness for all the connector ends I needed. I used a brand called “performance world” for the universal wiring kit. Thanks so much!

@@slightlyMADcustoms thanks! Greatly appreciate it!

Haha sweet!

Thanks! There's a whole video about those lights on our channel, go check it out!

Thanks man! There’s no swap kits available for E30s for stronger rear ends which sucks. I’ve heard some people putting in E36 diffs and customs axles. But if I was making big power and wanted solid reliability I would go with a Ford 8.8 IRS rear end. They can be found in 2005 ish Ford explorers. Can handle insane amounts of power. The driveshaft shop can make you some super strong custom axles. It’s a little pricey but the best set up possible

Thanks broski

Okie dokie 👌

Thanks broskiw

Awesome! We have a video on our channel breaking down the cost of a basic LS swap for E30s

Sorry I have no idea. Is there not just one kit in a few different colours?

They discontinued those wheels unfortunately :/ Really sucks I love the styling and aggressive offset

I don’t, but best way would be to position your block in the engine bay with shims. Then slowly cut your mounts to length. It probably only took me an hour or two

Possibly, but unlikely. Paying labor on a build like this very quickly gets into the 10's of thousands of dollars, and most people just don't want to spend that on an E30. You're probably better off waiting and buying an already swapped car that you like!

Many many places

Single. But it’s not amazing

The T56 has a few connections on it, but none are needed to use the transmission in a LS swap. At the back of the trans there’s a VSS (vehicle speed sensor) which could be used to run a speedometer. For e30s the VSS is in the diff so no need to use it. There’s also a reverse switch on the trans. This is a basic switch that closes its contacts when the trans is in reverse. You can use this to trigger a relay to turn on your reverse lights. It’s not necessary to hook up, but some states may require you to have working reverse lights. The last connector is called CAGS (no idea what it stands for). Basically it’s a little solenoid that shifts the trans into 4th instead of 2nd when you’re driving under minimal load. Personally I think it’s pretty dumb, not necessary at all.

Stock lines are 8mm and work fine for most LS builds. I used 9.5mm (3/8) just because the old lines were gross and I wanted them routed differently.

We used a spray tint (nite-shades) and got it to the level of tint we wanted, and then once it dried we sprayed it with clear coat. We've done this on previous cars and it lasts really well and looks perfect up close too!

@@slightlyMADcustoms thanks for the reply I’ve been wanting to do this and your tails look pretty good from the video.

Ya I was skeptical suing nite-shades because it looks like shit usually. But just using it as tint, then using automotive clear as the finish it works great

Ya it would get insane. The labour is apart of the fun though. Feeling bonded to the car, knowing every nut and bolt. Plus now that the major parts of the build are over... I kinda miss it

@@slightlyMADcustoms built > bought every day.

Yes I do! It won’t let me copy it, but it’s in the description of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l1W3TKcwOR0.html

Ya buy it!

It has a tremec T56. Good for 1000hp stock

Okay I’m on it!

Ya I fabbed my own mounts. The only thing I bought made for this specific swap was the sikky stainless headers

@@slightlyMADcustoms mos def. Thanks 😎 I plan on doing this to my Z3

Very nice, good luck

No haven’t done a video on that guy yet. It’s not a perfect set up. The pedal is noticeably more firm. You get used to it, but it is firm. It’s my least favourite thing about the car. I’m sure the Wilwood dual master set up would be a bit better. But I’ve spoke to people that said it’s still quite firm. Probably the best solution is hydroboost

@@slightlyMADcustoms Thanks for the swift answer. Did you hook up with the guys from chase bays before ordering? I saw that they will customise the master cylinder for each application. Here in Germany the standard for the bb issue is to relocate the brake booster to where the abs sits. Not my favorite and I am looking for an alternative.

Ya in your order form they ask what car and what brakes. I said E30 with RX7 fronts. Wasn’t that good though. Ya I’ve seen that booster relocation set up. Not so pretty but probably the best option to keep the car feeling stock

@@slightlyMADcustoms Not that good for having a clean engine bay anyway. 💩 Thanks again for your feedback I will have a look into the wilwood stuff as well. Saw a similar setup on an e30 M3 a while ago. 👍🏻

Happy to help!

Were technicians. We both work full time, share a basement suite, no smoking, no drinking, no kids, no traveling. All of our spare money goes to cars!

@@slightlyMADcustoms Word. No wonder you got the skills and the money! That's awesome

7twenty style 44 15x9 ET0 Toyo proxe 225/45/15

It’s burgundy. Got the set from Lseat.com

@@slightlyMADcustoms awesome what about the exterior?

It’s a Toyota paint code, 4V6 off of the new Tacoma’s

Very cool! Thanks so much

I got my transmission from a f-body. 2000 LS1 camaro. I believe magnum is the aftermarket name for it, not too sure on what the difference is between those two

The magnum is 33.8’ and the magnum F is 31.8’. I recently started my own e30 build with an ls1 and have a magnum F so I might have to get a custom driveshaft since sikky only makes one for the magnum. But thank you for the knowledge :)

Oh okay. Good luck dude!

Toyota quicksand 4V6

Thanks dude!

Nah I’m pretty sure I mentioned in the video. I had to get 3 3/4 aluminum pipe (which is a weird size), pie cut it, weld together, grind, then powdercoat

Indeed, thank very much

@@slightlyMADcustoms now project done and you reached your goals like what you planned you can reach the same goal or result by another way or setup and reduce the cost. Because 400 hp you can get it from small engines this date. Next video by this subject. Best regards,

So far so good. Axles will be the first to go for sure. But really depends how much torque you’re making and how you drive it. I’m at around 400tq, I drive the car hard and have fun, but I’m not stupid dropping the clutch hard and breaking loose all day

@@slightlyMADcustoms yeah true love the build though especially the colour, more people need to talk about costs tbh good shit

Thanks so much! Happy to help!

I got mine from a local BMW shop. But I think you can get them off any online store. ECS tuning, bimmerworld, turner motorsport, IE engineering, etc.

@@slightlyMADcustoms thank you for the speedy reply, would you know the name of them by any chance ?

No worries happy to help. Not completely sure on the name. Probably “brushed aluminum M pedals”

@@slightlyMADcustoms thank you, i’ll see if i can find them anywhere near the uk, much love man, keep up the great content

Thanks so much! Good luck!

It’s a Toyota colour, paint code is 4V6!

Thank you 🙏

Lol thanks so much!

@@slightlyMADcustoms I just wish I had the money and space to build a beast like this

What does this mean? 😂

Not completely sure on the specs of it, but I used a LS9 cam

@@slightlyMADcustoms stock cam?

No LS9 cam. It’s supposed to add like 20 horse over stock cam

@@slightlyMADcustoms yeah I meant OEM GM LS9 cam from the factory right? www.gmperformancemotor.com/parts/12638427.html Is that it? How’s street drivability and power? I have an LS swapped BRZ on a stage 4 cam I’m thinking about making more street friendly.

Ya that’s the cam. Super super smooth. Drives like a stock LS.

Haha so true 😂

The power to price ratio is crazy tho

@@slightlyMADcustoms I agree 😎

Do it!

We’ve got a whole video on that topic on our channel. Basically just being cheap on everything except cars

If you need to pay someone’ else labour then you can add another 30,000 for sure

What do you mean man the price is literally in the video haha

Race me 😘

@@slightlyMADcustoms where you at?

Calgary, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦

@@slightlyMADcustoms 10 h 33 min drive once the border opens up. I should have my LSD installed by then.

I’ll see you then

Haha true! Thanks dude

Japanese* ... racist

@@BillyAndira are you dumb there are Chinese car brands. Oh and nobody asked for your trash opinion liberal

no heater. although would be pretty straight forward to set up

What set up do you recommend? Would using the stock heater and ac be an option? Thanks!

@JavierRomero-hf7gu ya it’s your best option to use the stock stuff. Alternatively you could use vintage airs compact heater core kit

Nvm that’s kinda rude sorry was tryna guess before watching

Haha good guess!

Love to be there when your car does amazing things because I support you

@@slightlyMADcustoms I would rather you not be. I know that restomoding these e30 require subframe reinforcement. So wouldn't want anyone around that wouldn't know that.

Too bad dude I’ve already booked the flight. You actually have to un-reinforce the subframe. Give it a little more flex

@@slightlyMADcustoms had no idea you were magical. Don't have a city or an address. So forever the streets you will roam.

I’ll keep an eye out for you

word

Ya ok

Shiiit

I’m intrigued

you should see the price for beat up stock ones nowadays

Yeah when you're building a project car part by part it's really easy to lose track of how crazy the total gets

@@slightlyMADcustoms for sure, just like grocery shopping you lose track and little things just add up

I’m always sad I guess

Actually not true. The only thing I didn’t do was spray the car. This things my baby, I know every nut and bolt

Idk what to tell you, that’s just literally what I paid online. Also keep in mind I’m in Canada too

@@slightlyMADcustoms oh I see mate.. shipping only can cost you lottts

Deal

@@slightlyMADcustoms Nice, how we set this up

Most excellent

I'd have to agree haha

yeah it's not always about what you can buy, it's what you want. personally i'd rather have some shitty 90's hatchback that's stripped out with a fart can 😂 cuz that's more fun than a brand new car imo

We don't get crazy heat up here in Canada, on the really hot days we crack the windows and its all good!

Ouch

@@slightlyMADcustoms allow me to explain 2 things that should lessen the blow a little bit 1 your work is stunning, the car itself is an ugly car 2 i like the look of the prowler and the chevy ssr truck. so trust me, my opinion on attractive vechicles doesnt deserve any weight. Despite my personal feelings, the work youve put into this car is amazing

Haha no worries. Everyone has their thing!
