    oh man I just can't imagine how much fun your car is to drive... I'm tempted in going your route instead of an S50 swap...

                  it is fun. the way i see it, your going to spend a couple thousand on a swap thats going to net you what 200whp? you can easily spend 2-3k and make over 300 easy no problem with the same drivetrain you have now. unless you are shooting for over 500wheel, no reason to ditch the m20. if i ever take the m20 out again its getting rods, pistons, more agressive cam, bigger turbo, stronger clutch and stronger ignition system. then try for 500+. i would have done it this time around, but i got a house to buy next summer :)

                  mickey thompson 225 50 15. dont drive them much on the street. this is my first set, so cant tell you about life expectancy. i got maybe 2k miles on them, and they still look pretty fresh. i got a set of camber/toe plates that i need to find time to weld in, some positive camber will really help my cause.

                            Yeah I work next to him. I guess you came in late on day a while back with a guy in a white E90, he mentioned you had a turbo M20. I want to see it! I'm having E30 withdrawal because I don't have mine back on the road yet. :o
