    You'll be second in line behind me. I've already expressed my interest to Jordan.

      The rear bumper and apron on my car now are a single part, cannot be seperated.

      I will be selling it and the sideskirts when the time comes.

        don't worry about him using it as a daily driver. He is gonna have to buy a bike in order to afford this round of mods.

        KIDDING!

        Just don't start on it until I move up there. I want to help. (even if it is just watching) :)

            yah, kinda leaning toward that perspective the more I look at it. The front end makes it look like it there's supposed to be an intercooler like deigo's, unless you have additional mods idea in mind... *crosses fingers

              The idea doesn't really appeal to me.

              BUT, if anyone is going to make it look good, it'll be you.

                    isn't that gonna be alot of fiberglass? I always thought you were opposed to it, and would have done metal flares.

                      i think you should deffenitly lose the fender fins, it would look horrid on an E30, everything else seems awsome though.

                          you better be tracking this bitch with those 285s

                          As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                          You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                              I find this interesting on several levels:

                              1. The kit is pure rice. Fibreglass? Puh-lease. What happened to quality Euro kits being made from ABS plastics? I don't like the GTR kit on E46s and I especially don't like the overly rotund curves on the boxy E30. To me, there is no cohesion. You lose all subtlety, you lose the balance of the original E30 design. It will fit in perfectly at Hot Import Nights.

                              2. All that fibreglass on hard-wearing parts is going to crack when you start going to the track. Seen it before plenty of times on other cars that can generate decent amounts of lateral-grip. Additional to that, its going to be pretty damn heavy, whereas getting it all made in ABS plastic or FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic) would constitute massive weight savings.

                              3. 285 tyres? Surely you jest! Why keep going wider and wider? Why not just upgrade the smaller tyres to R-compounds or semi-slicks for track work? Or start running more hardcore suspension... coilovers with outboard dampers? Stiffer sway bars? Integrated roll cage?

                              4. You're keeping the 192rwhp M20 with that set-up? 285s and widebody on a FI/hard-tune S50/S54 powered E30, fo sho, but otherwise it seems to be putting a cutting edge, late model-style aesthetics on an old school engine...

                              That's my opinion. I can't understand why you'd go through all that, but have fun spending time and money on your car.
