        Of course later on I will explore other forms of power. But my m20 will have to do for now.

            Plenty. It's an S50, right?

                If I remember correctly, it was only like 214bhp and 207 ft/lbs. Still very impressive, but not the highest numbers out there.

                And I also agree, everytime I see his car it seems I like less and less about it.

                EDIT:just read Jordan's post and my numbers seem WAY low, someone correct me if i'm wrong.

                    Vortech supercharged S52 with Genie headers.

                    No turbo.

                      HP figures were way higher than 214...the stock motor makes that much, and he had a supercharger i thought it was like 350+ but i am not 100% sure anymore. I love that car and still do. Its the only reason i have a GTS kit on my car, oh and because i paid 500 bucks for it. regardless that car was awesome in person....whether you like the styling or not, everything on that car was basically perfect.

                        I don't think it ever ran too well with the super. That might account for the low numbers.

                        Sold it.

                          Weren't those numbers pre-SC? And he never did get in running right with the Vortech before it was gone.

                          Randy is still around more than ever, a bunch of us meet up every Friday and shoot the shit. His upcoming 993 GT2 with something crazy like 600-700RWHP will quickly make you forget about the E30. The engine alone is worth more.

                              Randy's E30 was the car that got me into E30's, BMW's, and modding in general.

                              I saw his car in Eurotuner, and fell in love with it. Then about 2 months later, a friend of mine was selling her 88 Super-eta (same car that Randy's started out as), and I bought it. Thus started my downward spiral. :D
