    Congrats man! So I know what you were saying about keeping everything stock but, what about drop springs or wheels?
    BTW Alpine M3 is my dream e30, you son of bitch ginger.

      honestly, a drop makes the stock wheels look too small. When it's all original the wheels look just right. Although a set of E28 M5 wheels with 225/45/16 tires wouldn't be a bad thing!

        I have some H&R Race and Bilstein sports off my red car that I will install. I also have a really clean set of E38 style 5s or my staggered E32 fitment M Systems off my red car as well that I may put on.

        Aside from wheels and suspension, I'm doing headlights, a couple interior mods, maybe an Evo 3 front spoiler, but it's getting left alone aside from that. Anything I do to this car will be 100% reversible in the event I go to sell it.

        I really want to do a 2.7 build, if the 2.3 ever blows up, but it's such a healthy motor, so I doubt it will for a long time.

              Me too. It'll be the longest I've driven it. I took it for a 100 mile round trip drive three weeks ago, but I haven't really touched it since.

                Jelly levels off the chart, must have. Glad your keeping the S14 in it, no one understands how good it is, swappers of it are silly.

                  I want to see some more pictures! Looks clean man, congrats. The s14 is definitely something to experience.

                  Cant go wrong with e38 weaves or m systems.

                    Awesome purchase! First mod though, tow hook covers. I agree with you 1000%, please keep the S14. Yes it may be a little pricey maintaining it but yours was just rebuilt. Good luck with her!
