    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.

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

    Ill ask our photographer to do a few renderings of my car with tmb's and other wheels and post them up. I have yet to see an e30 with those wheels

    I know the bbs looked hot but they really rode like ass. they were totally bent up and scratched. I would rather have the cash for the beat up bbs and get something different. for now I could either use the esm's or the gold stance wheels so the clear choice was the esm's.

    I think the car looks just as good with the slightly higher ride height than it did with the bags. I'm sure it's worth the improvement in handling, after all, it is now on a proper coil over suspension.

    Allthough it did look nice parked and all slammed out The bag setup was no bueno. It really wasnt set up right. The rear bags blew out because they were rubbing on the axle boots, quite a major design flaw lol. Now atleast I can drive the car without worrying about having problems with the air setup. I still havent decided on what wheels im going with. im going to worry about the swap and bodywork before I start thinking about wheels. Ill keep you guys posted once I make some more progress.
