    I know they aren't "perfect", but trust me, you can't really go wrong. I got some hard miles on them and have no issues. Coating still as black as first day, too. The problem most peeps have with them is the way the tubes are pressed into the head flange and not welded around the inside. Easy fix if you ask me...though I didn't bother.

    OMG. I never knew how great it is to have NO underseer. And it's definately feels a lot faster...3.73 gearing helps too :p

    I truly wish I had got an E30 from the very beginning. Then I'd have the funds for a built motor and turbo.

    And now that I finally have it dialed in, I am really impressed with the handling. Amazing what a corner balance and proper alignment will do for yah.

            I'll try to remember the name. I just know it wasn't Jet-Hot...heard too many stories about the color of their coating fading/discoloring.

            Edit: It was coated by HPC

                        Was a good looking E36. Great that you've found satisfaction in an older car. e30 magic

                            Wowzers, quite the story!

                            Seems like it worked out for you!
                            How do you like the E30S50?
                            Fun to take down newer "faster" cars??!!

                            Looks like you have the susp sorted out rather well.
                            Any future plans??

                                No I'm a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, but THAT picture makes me want to track it.

                                That's Patrick's, his car has an S54. :/

                                When we swap the M50 for an S50... maybe I'll give Richard some competition, but he's no doubt a better driver than me.
