well........I cant fathom why one would turbo an s 50 in an e 30...but more power to ya...no pun intended.

I track my m20 mainly....... balance / linear power and reliability rules for me.....w/ an s 50 I think Id be happy overall....I wouldnt want a t.bo. 240-290 ( w/cams etc would be big enuf power)



I prefer driving the car...not the car driving me. I see what cars do on the track, from lil miatas to twin turbo 996's...... ... Still confused?....its only my opinion tho.....

[asubimmer]

I guess it just depends on your driving skills...

[JRKOUPE]

I guess it just depends on your driving skills...

ouch..did I deserve that?....hahaha




its not about skills at all( Id match mine w/ any non pro actually)........ its about preference in one's ride..... the nature of the beast....its strong points and weak points.....its power delivery....blah blah.

[christoble]

I thought i would be happy with just an s50 too but after a few weeks i wasnt satisfied. Then i blew my motor so i figured it was a perfect time to go all out.

[asubimmer]

lol you asked for it. And yeah it kinda does have to do w/ driver skill. You even said you wanted to drive the car and not have it drive you.

My car was orig a 318is before my 24v swap so I understand what you mean about momentum driving. But extra power is a nice thing. You just have to drive differently in a slow car in a high power car obv. You also have to step up the game and get stickier tires and change your susp to accommodate the power.
