    Amazing what the refinished valances did to it.

    I wouldn't mind seeing some rolling shots of it.

      How is the stroker running?
      Where do you feel the most power increase? My brothers seemed to have more 3-5k jump over a stock 2.5. Topend seemed about the same though
      The stroker is running good, still haven't coughed up the money
      for engine management but I did pick up a 525dme, some have had good results with it over the 173dme, I feel the power difference over stock
      down low, my car feels much quicker than when it was stock.

          You already addressed it, but all I'd do is euro bumper trim and clear signal lenses. Whatever...car looks great man. Expand on the painters work on the taillights. Did he just spray clear over your Testors rattle can red?

          I painted just the amber section of my rears with ruby metalflake, or whatever its called, about a year ago and I don't like how it's become so dull.

            No way. This car is steps above other e30s no matter what wheels are on it. Assassyns would be my choice personally...

                your car was actually one of the inspirations of me going with 16x9s. really wanted cr7s too but i cant know that i may pass you on the road one day and see the same wheels on the same bodied car. looks great as always.

                p.s. i dont think 225s would work with the stock fenders even rolled. my fronts are way close with my stretched arches.

                      yay! I'm not the only one who likes amber turns and US trim :D

                      car is gorgeous as usual! the shots look a tad overexposed to me, but that could be cleaned up with a quick levels adjustment.

                        have you also considered, besides RS's, Brbt type A's?

                          The painter simply clear coated over the candy apple
                          red paint that I sprayed on. So many people are doing euro trim/smoked turns that my US trim and ambers are becoming rare

                          Nando, don't hesitate to adjust those levels, this is how Ritz
                          Camera developed my film.

                          Bobby, I didn't think the 225's would fit under my arches either without pulling them out.

                            Beautiful car as usual Ed.

                            If you ever find those RS', we'll talk about those CR7s ;)

                              Wonderful car, i personally love the ambers on your car. Do whatever you want on wheels, as long as it has dish!

                                A local friend is about to put megasquirt on his 3.0 m20 after a new mechanic at his shop offered to set it up for him. Deleting the AFM and all the goods should allow for good power I would think, especially on a car with the proper cam, plenty of fuel and open exhaust. I hope it goes well for you, a dual-pattern cam or 288 might be just what you need
