    my freshly build e30 s52

    Hi

    I just recently moved to California from Canada (Ottawa) and just had my car shipped down.
    Been working on the car for 3 years with lots of help from a friend of mine and a body shop.

    Here are some pics (below)
    1991 318is
    s52 from a 1998 M3
    e36 M3 5 speed transmission
    Willwood Gold Series front and rear brake setup
    5 bolt 5x120 conversion
    frame up body restoration
    New headliner, carpet and refurbished seats
    E30 M3 Gauge cluster

    I do need some help with the tune. The car runs well until it warms up. I suspect the temp sensor might be the issue..If anyone knows of good shop to work with in the San Jose area -- please let me know.

            In the San Jose area there's a couple shops that seem fairly popular for the BMW crowd. Check out BR Racing, Edge Motorworks, then there's alway Dinan ($$$$$). Perhaps some of the other local guys can chime in. Sweet car you got there :)

                          First class execution. Like dirtbag30 says, check with sssquid for tuning.
