engine pics?

[SchnellerVert]

/\ Exactly why do we want to see the trashed interior and semi completed exterior.

[hugh jass]

please tell me you've cleaned your carpet since taking the pics. how did you get it so greasy?

[Bokes]

i dont like those wheels. you should have atleast primered the lip and trunklid/spoiler. douche.

otherwise cool.

nah, adeel is cool.

[adeelpowers]

here you douche-wagons go:




And yes, the car is dirty rust bucket with a greasy interior. Im more worried about the "go" right now and it definitely hauls. My brother has a s52 M3 and with cams/cai/chip this should be just as quick...its already pretty close on the highway. Also, with the AC delete it's pretty close to stock weight.

Nope it wont. but you can think that. Smaller brakes= not as fast track car. And s52 m3 wil eat your car alive anyways. But nice car with weaves on.

I wasnt talking about the track, I was talking about the highway. Anyways, how would you know? I drive both cars on a regular basis and will make a video once Im done recovering from surgery.

About the rims, Im not feeling them much either. I think I'll put the weaves on when I feel better.

[DEV0 E30]

On the highway E36 M3s pull on me, I also have a vanos M50, the weight helps, but the power they have makes a bigger difference I think. The E30 will always feel faster or as fast. Now when you sit in one with an S50/S52 and take off, you feel fast because you are going quite fast.

But if your car really does sit even with an M3, badass. I just don't think it will.

Oh and nice car, enjoy it.

I said with CAI/Cams/chip it should about even on the highway. It isnt right now. The s52 is completely stock (except a debaffled airbox and K&N drop in filter). The e30 has a fan-delete and a catback exhaust, both of which are minimal mods but the exhaust helps up top...

[tabasco]

lookin' good, Adeel.

With cams and chipped your m50 should keep up with an m3 all day long. The Aero of an e30 sucks, but the e36 is only marginally better.

Stay with the basketweaves, and at least use a good epoxy primer on your unmatched body pieces
