> [@MPD47](#): > > Yeah, it definitely is a common swap, but most of the e30 kiddies take weeks to do it and complain about it’s difficulty and how hard it is to mix and match the right parts.

I’ve had the tent for years, no idea where it’s from. Much nicer than the generic EZTent setup but IIRC that’s why it cost so damn much. ![http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3925.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3925.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3928.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3928.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3931.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3931.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3933.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/e30/DSCF3933.jpg) Engine is out, started cleaning it, started working on wiring the e36 engine harness to connect to the e30 chassis harness. In for the night to have some beers and relax, only so much time out in the rain I can take (even with the tent the water pools in a few places under the car, d’oh!) ---

Yeah, I drove them on dmoffitt’s car. IMO they were not THAT low, nor were they particularly harsh, seemed like a mild spring to me. But probably because I drove it right after driving my car which is on sphericals with aggressive valving and heavy springs. ---
