What does the E30 Community want? |Euwerks Engineering|
I'm a fab guy and have been putting of a project that I'm not really into building but really want.
Sounds funny but if you can build a cool looking valve cover for the M20 cheap, that would sell.
I'm getting ready to pay $800. for a Hartge valve cover..
this is stupid money.. for a fucking valve cover... and I'm going to pay it
becacue there aint shit on the market for an M20...
Build I nice cover for cheaper that the remanufactured covers from that cnc guy who will cut your name into your own cover, and everybody will buy them...
There isn't a guy here with an M20 would want to make the motor look cooler... there not the best looking motors...
No matter which you look at it, it won't be cheap. The cheapest option is casting it from aluminum, with the top surface milled down. Even then it's going to be 200+ dollars for them. Foundry, casting, milling, etc. Even china can't do it cheap enough for us.

Ask me how I know :D
I know, this is the reason i'll be dropping $800 for a nice Harteg cover...ouch
1) e30 spindle hub/bearing sleeves to allow for e36 5 lug hubs to bolt on

I would be interested in:
E30 325i dual midpipe without cat, but maybe with a resonator instead.
Either as a package with headers, using stock headers, or made to fit some aftermarket stainless headers. Other end to connect to stock catback location.
24v oil pan setup with more ground clearance - create a kickout to keep oil capacity the same. Not sure what a reasonable price would be for this.
Gauge inserts for where the e30 MPG/L.100km gauge is. Whether it is oil pressure, boost, etc. would be very nice to have options. Supposedly someone used to do this. And hell, any oem-looking gauge setup would be cool, I hate A-pillar pods, and storage tray pods, and getting rid of an air duct looks bad too.

Usually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30
1) e30 spindle hub/bearing sleeves to allow for e36 5 lug hubs to bolt on
2)e36 caliper brackets adapters to allow for e36 brake upgrade without having to switch completly to e36 strut swap
FRONT AND REAR would be nice to have as a kit
Do some searching, multiple people have done it. a cheap plug and play doesn't exist. sleeves need to be pressfit or welded on, and calipers need to be machined, unless you run huge brake rotors.
Everything listed in this entire thread, someone sells, and makes.
But thses are some i personally think would be affordable enough to make and sell. Go to your local racetrack and see what people are using for a dead pedal.. a peice of steel they whipped together from the scrap pile.. after all its just a pedal.
Caliper adapter brackets- for all- e36 m3, cobra pbr's, front and rear.
The affordable harness bar, but then again whats stopping the average person from whipping one up in 5 hrs shop time..
Steel oil pans for m20, m50
Rear sump e30 subframe
And more adjustment in the suspension, front and rear.. dtm style CAB's in particular.
M/s50 itb brackets to adapt motorcycle tb's
maybe an affordable e36 similar chassis x brace.
