Another E30 From Romania

[iloveshaorma]

I have noticed that in Romania people always put the eyelids on their cars? Any particular reason why that is such a large "fashion" over there in the e30 scene?

Don't know man...personaly don't like em...had one took it off looks turdy

Ok! So as an update the car will be receiving a new engine. Enjoyed the 24v but wanted to get back to grass roots with a kick. I disassembled the 2.0 12v engine that came with the car to notice that the bearings on rod 5 and 6 were spun and the other bearings were really worn but the engine functioned well except for the lack of power.
So this green 12v is a stroker engine M20B28 made with the crank from a 2.5 tds 84mm forged with 2.0 rods 130mm and 2.5 pistons 84mm. The head is ported and machined so that i get a higher compression. The management is form a M50 engine, did not have the ignition coils installed. I hope that i will install the engine in the car this week and see what it can do.
Next engine i have lined up is a 3.0 M20 that will be turbo'd

i like the m20 much more then then the m5x. i picture how it would look if a beat a 2.5 m50 or something like that and the driver would ask "what beast do you have under the hood" and i'd go 12 valve they're face would drop. wanted to do something special rather then e 24 valve swap cause they're pretty common around this area, all 12 valve for sale have almost no compression or spun bearings. plus you can't argue with me about the sound of the 12v compared to the 24v

I have a buddy who swapped his S50 for a MM M20.
