Heres a few during the build. This car has 8 or so races on it now. I do all cage work and suspension work

This one was our first E30 it was a very fast car the motor lived on in the blue car up until the fall when it blew a head gasket.
there is video of the crash on you tube i will try and find it. The car was going about 110mph. The driver walked away.

The snow is gone! i was able to test drive the car on the street it runs great! Lots of torque
Now I'm thinking to swap out the m52 intake for a m50 intake. Can any one tell me if it is worth it? will it move the power band up the rev range substantially?
Thanks

[olddude13]

wow! just did intake swap made my own brackets and hose setup went pretty easy.
motor runs great...... next stop mosport.

[olddude13]

We made it to Mosport ran sat and sun.the m52 ran like a rocket! only prob the alternator decided to give out and drive shaft coupler failed during race oh.. and a wheel bearing went.
