    A lot of the work on others peoples cars was much more recent. Like last year for the screwed up GVR4. There have been several debates about them on a local car forum. The consensus seems to be that they are capable of doing very good work and seem to be ok with putting out complete shit. Its a crap shoot as to what you get. Another really good friend of mine has a DSM and is really good friends with Alex. He was the ones the recommended Dent sport to me and they did really shitty work on his intercooler piping. It all depends if you want to gamble on getting good work done or possibly getting your car fucked up. With all the top quality BMW shops around like TMS, Motorcars international, etc. I wouldnt risk it.

      This thread is funny.

      S2000 guy why is that your old car? R3v it or loose your job?

      Lexus v8's are garbage compared to GM products, did I really just say that?

      I got laid off not to long ago and was forced to sell it. I still don't know what r3v means...

      I'll make a thread on it with more pics later today if u want.

        Man, I had more typed up... but what matters is don't go for a small turbo 4cyl. Lame. Go V8 if you go non-BMW.

        Then again, Ls1 in e30 is a lot of work. There are plenty of LS1 E36ers though... that's what I would do. A roller could be had for cheap, there's a 318is E36 for sale for a grand right now by one of my roommate's friends... with a running M44. More stable rear suspension, big tire, other pluses.

        For an E30, just throw in a M50 and call it a day. Or turbo a M20.

          r3ving your car is when you wreck it or fuck it up!
