thinking of turner j stocks. i had time yesterday after studying so i finally installed my strut bar and lower lip. if i have time today i might install my srd's and 15" nogaro silbers. i need new fogs too, maybe french or smoked.

so far i've added JB racing LTW flywheel
earl's SS brake lines
M coupe diff cover
e30 m3 rear sway bar

I must say... i was NOT expecting that motor to be in that car. :shock:

Totally got me there. Yes, you do need suspension bad, lol.

yes, you do need suspension!

Looks like a wasted motor to me ?

HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT MOTOR IS WASTED... it has euro grills and an IS lip, which... oh hold on, yea, you are right.

[Rob]

looks like a perfect setup to me...

i think that motor is what your car needs ;)

[JPL]

seeing that motor in there when you are not expecting it is like a slap in the face. you should at least put a roundel on your car, needs it.

Yeah, seriously. He must spin 4th from a roll, huh? :P ;)

Nice looking car bmws50b30. Since your in New York, I'd recommend Ground Control coil-overs. If you get 6" springs you'll have the ability to raise the car to near-stock height during the winter months.

I really like that car, suspension or not

I'll never understand people who do such extensive mods to their cars, and in this case, a DOHC engine with 100 more horsepower than stock, without first upgrading the suspension/brakes. Don't get me wrong, your car is impressive, and I love the S50 in E30's. But there's no point in having so much power if your car isn't prepared to handle it.

Power is nothing without control.

because its his car to do what he pleases?

While I agree for the most part, he bought it with the engine in the car. Everyone does stuff different.

I'd suggest talking to blunt and Mtriple before you decide on the J Stock. For example Mtriple doesn't like to drive around with the J Stock...but blunt does. The Ground Controls as mentioned would be another route to look at.

+1. after you whining about people giving you a hard time, you are doing the same to him?

I personally don't see why people worry about window switches, sidemarker trim, and grills before real mods.



Go with Ground Control.
