Unfortunately, by the time it gets to you, all of that fancy stuff will likely have been picked clean by the greedy postal service employees. Please don't be surprised to see just a plain envelope.

            (raises hand)

            I absolutely love mine. S52 with bolt ons + six-speed + 3.73 makes for one hell of a frenetic commute. It makes my E34 M5 feel lazy :)

            It ain't the fastest out there by a longshot, but that combination of a beat-up twenty year old car with a loud and raucous motor sure is fun. Now to figure out which body organ to sell so I can pick up a EuroSport blower...

                Yeah, but your kind of a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles sometimes.

                I, on the other hand, fucking love mine (except the fucking g260, which makes me unsure of the timing on the car after I did my cam swap, FUCK!)

                  Sounds like we have similar plans ;)

                            For the street it's just okay. The H&R Race springs are a bit stiff but the biggest problem is that it is frustrating having that sort of power and no place to use it. On the track, however, oh baby!

                            So I drive my CRV to work, and race my E30/S50 on weekends. This way I keep the ticket count to zero and the fun meter pegged.

                              I just finished my M50 swap, with cams ect....and it is Fing awesome. I CAN however feel the weight difference over my little M10, in my handeling and my brakes.
                              But its great:D

                              24V M50, M3 cams, Turner Tune, full exhaust, ect....

                                Right with you my friend - I've been hating my s50 swapped e30 for over a year now.
