    The red one up in Washington? No, its not something Dinan does alot, but if you have the money they can do just about anything for you (and give you inflated power figures)

          The car itself was nothing special looking. Clean old eta, red, that was it... It might have had a 5 lug conversion too, I forget. But overall a stock looking car. A "sleeper"

              Yea, i saw pictures of it on a web site somewhere... Just a regular red e30 two door. May have had bottlecaps in one of the pictures i saw. It is based on the 2.7 as you can see it retains the eta valve cover and bracing. They tore it down added the two extra main bearings and went from there. basically i think it keeps nothing from its eta roots except for that valve cover.. lol. And the site kept on bragging about how this was a real eta turbo. I have a question though.. did they relocate the idle control valve? I spot a gold solinoid looking thing that could be it, but im not sure how they work on turbo cars. Also, I dont see an AFPR, but I have seen cars that use an adjustable one, and then run it right into the stock one. Whats the point? unless it is bare inside.

              that car is wicked crazy, and very clean. those aluminum boxes for the air intake and intercooler are tight.

                Yes it had a 5 lug conversion, M3 bits if I'm not mistaken. It has Fikse Mach V wheels w/ Toyo RA-1 race rubber. It also has half the engine harness from an 850i (which is basically 2 M20's, just uses a better version of Motronic). They say it makes 400hp @ 15psi. Pretty damn hot.
