Thanks

I am too for my E30 build. If BMW used real rear suspension instead of trailing arms then this wouldn't be so difficult. I think I'm going to swap in a different rear subframe, like the Nissan Silvia.

hi Dim

nice project
i love this !!!

Tra08R · 12-31-2012, 04:56 PM

Nice, But is this for show or for track? Why not put some of the budget towards a better intake and a Brake kit. Easily the first 1 and 2 things I would do to improve track time.

Sean@PSI · 12-31-2012, 05:24 PM

Looks great!

Show me one intake that gains power over the stock sealed airbox. And by "show" I mean an independent dyno that has power gains greater than the margin of error. Spending $2,000 on 5 (claimed) horsepower < gutting the interior and putting two racing seats for the same money.

He's doing it the right way. Here's a small quote to give what he's doing and saying some credibility:
