put an eta in it.

at least he's going to try and maintain the weight balance. Hey, if it was me, i'd keep the s14. but what he's doing is more practicle for him. let it be.

as long as theres no stretched tires under those beutiful fenders and it's not lowered to the point of undriveabilty, who cares what he does!

it should be clear that a lot of people care. just sayin'

This.

I went to Willow Springs today and saw a set-up 2.5L s14 M3, that was gutted to the extreme (meaning a hacksaw was used to various panels in the car. But hey, the guy owned 2 M3s, so he wanted one to be his track beast. I can respect what he did, but he wont be able to reutrn the car to it's original shape very easily.

Whatever I do to the car can be undone in the future if need be.

Just do it already Polak!

1) Because he can
2) Because he wants to

Why modify any car period?

^ Yea.

So Chris doesn't think im h8n the entire build, i gotta say those RZs are RIGHT on the fucking money. Perfect choice there.

[Mike The Bavarian]

The motor you plan on building will make around 270-280whp. give or take a few. personally I'd just lower it and put some nice bbs's on it, but it's his money so let him build what he wants. Plus say he wants to sell it in the next 5 years or so, which i don't know why anyone would, he could always track down an s14 or trade the s52 for one.

Take a regular e30. Maybe 1-2k. Now swap it, etc etc, now is a 5k+ car. You probably are still losing money on the car given the costs of mods, but compare that to an m3.

20k for a nice straight m3.
Swap it, mod it, do everything you did to the nonM, and still a 20k car. In a few years, might even go down in value or stay at 20k when the s14 original ones are now fetching 25-30k.

Not necessarily in the case of Chris, since he has no intention of selling it soon, but just in general, modding a collectors item ≠ modding a car thats pretty easy to come by

[jahnaboi]

Agreed. Why modify a collector car and devalue it.

give it a few years and all you swap motor guys will be just like the 69 Z 28 cars out there that swapped out the 302 for a bigblock-- now the 250,000 dollar car is worth about 30,000.

do what makes you happy with it-- cause thats all that really matters--

keep the S14 in the corner of the garage, or start looking for one-- cause in another 10 years you will not find one and be pissed you dont have one
