I work at a race prep shop, we have a lot of take-offs. Most of the faster/more serious guys only put 4-5 cycles on them before buying stickers, some less than that. We only have one car that runs this particular tire, but I was lucky enough to get a couple sets from the driver this season.
Don't get me wrong its a riot to drive around town and auto-x, but I'm looking to do a lot more on-track driving in the future and I'd like something that makes its power at higher revs. I'll keep you in mind if I decide to make a change

Not enough top end on the M30? If/when you do an S38 swap I just may be interested in your built M30 since my wife is originally from ATL and Marietta and we visit yearly. S38's are awesome, but sooooo costly to repair.The m30 is great, but I am kinda leaning towards swapping it for something with more top end power at some point though. My DD is an e34 m5 and the s38 is much more enjoyable IMO. The extra weight up front hasn't ever been an issue, it still handles well for an e30.
The throttle bodies are off an an e28 m5. Hoping to finish them and have them installed in a few months.Leave a comment:

Good lord. Im sure that is a blast to auto-x.
I'd like to build something similar in the coming years. Simple. Tasteful. Powerful. Classic. Fantastic tastes you have sir.Leave a comment:

I don't think it's ugly :) The m30 is great, but I am kinda leaning towards swapping it for something with more top end power at some point though. My DD is an e34 m5 and the s38 is much more enjoyable IMO. The extra weight up front hasn't ever been an issue, it still handles well for an e30.

Damn, if you think that's ugly I can only agree and make you an offer to take it off your hands posthaste. ;)
Love that you went with a beefed M30. How is it in the corners with the xtra weight in front? What ITB's are those?Leave a comment:

lol @ shifter comments.. Yeah the wheels are 15x8 TRM C1's, but I am running a 12mm spacer in the front to clear the struts, no spacer in the rear and it fits perfectlyLeave a comment:
