    I think the SJC's would look sick on a e30, or even the IND's, deff post the renderings up!

        Ive been up in vermont snowboarding for the winter but I have updates! The s50 is being cleaned and prepped for boost. So far I have a Borg Warner airwerks 300sx 9179 .91 ar T4 twin scroll, ARP's, Fresh stock head gasket, decked and pressure tested cyl head. Custom top mount manifold, chargepipes and intercooler being fabricated by Ed at Forcefed Engineering. I will be using a haltech standalone with a jumper harness to fit the s50. The car will be tuned at evans tuning in P.A. Lots of pics to come as this project progresses.

            sad to see the direction this car went..
            Seems like it would have been better for you to just start with some stock and build it your own way from the get go?

              Agreed, basically removed everything that made the car. But it's your car so have fun.
              I have friends who are EOD bro.

              That's awesome. I have friends who make coffee for a living, but you don't see me rocking out a bunch of lattes

                I had a stock looking vert that i dropped my s50 in, was planning on doing bodywork and sourcing an mtech kit. It ended up being more cost effective to buy this other e30 and part out my old one. I would have left the bags but they were so ghetto rigged it wasn't safe. The back bags were a total hack job and the system failed repeatedly. I really had no choice but to get rid of the bags. The wheels were sold to make room for a set of HRE's or rotiform's i still haven't decided. But seriously have a little faith this isn't my first rodeo!! ;)

                  Yeah I have no idea why everyone is bagging on you. Your endgame sounds awesome!

                        I don't really have a horse in the race, but wheels and suspension aren't really "a direction".

                          Let me guess you didn't bother reading the whole thread did you?

                          Op, car is looking great and can't wait to see where it goes. Ignore the guys who can't seem to read.

                          I mean come on how could you not have been better off on half assed broken bags and dented/bent rims.

                            I'm just hoping you put those fenders to use lol.
                            Can't wait to see what you end up with.

                              Thanks for the props, haters gonna hate lol!! Yes the fenders and quarters will absolutely be put to good use as they are super wide. Its almost funny how aggressive looking this car is and it has a stock m20 with an auto trans. Not for long though... Stay subd for updates!

                                Oh yea and i thought it was funny that this car had all this work done and still has the poopy us headlights. Good thing I have a brand new set of euro smoked ellipsoids sitting around. I know a minor detail but I thought I would bring light to this.
