Some updates for today. Sold the ESM bbs reps, some extra back seats, and an extra m52 i had lying around and picked up a full race/tial 50 mm bov. Its off my friends honda s2k that the turbo came off of. He was making 840 whp on a built motor and cracked a wrist pin within 100 miles. The machine shop claimed it was a "1000 hp" block and used stock pins... so now he's rebuilding and going for 1000 on a borg efr.

If anyone cares about s2k's this is his thread :wgaf:

Anyways some pics of parts accumulating.

I personally think upgrading/fixing the bags issue and fixing the bent wheels would've been the way to go BUT! your car, your vision, your money and your damn will lol

[Chris@MAC]

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.

[Chris@MAC]

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!

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

Looks retarded.

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.

sad to see the direction this car went..

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

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!

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.
