    Google search for S20: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...20&btnG=Search

    Google search for S42: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bmw+s42

    Not just "internet forums" referencing the S42.

    Now I know that you're a fucking retard with a friend who can weld. Your claims are stupid and defenses are worse.

    Because of these 2 threads, ALL of your credibility is gone and probably most of your potential product sales through this site.

    Stick to wedding photography.
    I have to agree with the last quotes. Your credibility is pretty much shot here, and I'm speaking as a potential customer. You seem to have an incredible self destruction instinct.

    If you manage to get pics of your full interior, air conditioned DD, ON SCALES, at anywhere close to 2200 pounds, I'll tune back in. Otherwise, I'm just gonna keep you in the same category as Heeter - ignore.

      So I was thinking maybe DCColegrove said s20, being a 2.0l, S-series engine. But, of the m42 basis?

When I do the M30 swap, I'm going to get headwork and a cam from a guy 1200 miles away from me, because he knows his shit. Daniel, thank you for being obscessed with the E30-mine will be better because of it.

        He walked away thinking I was an idiot, because don't you know... "He auto crosses an e30 and has owned three" ... I didn't bother to point out to him that I've owned 7 e10s, 19 e30s (4 Ms) let alone what my job was at BMW AG and NA.
        And now he won't even listen to you. The internet can burn customer base with a few snafus.

          No, that's true, a few weeks ago I felt that way. Look, most of us aren't trained engineers, we need to look at the claims of our vendors and make a determination if they know what they're doing. I've been skeptical of strut bars in the past, but DC made some convincing arguments that had me reconsidering them. Now I'm forced to reassess all of his claims, in light of the last 2 threads. If he furnishes proof, that's cool, but my skepticism meter is pegged at this point.

                  Well, I have seen you car (the one from the closed discussion) and your stuff demonstrated in real life. I know that the claims you have made are true because I have seen it and I know respected people in real life that back you up.

                  I saw you car on the scales at the meet in Pomona I dont remember the weight but I do remember that it was more than 300 lbs underweight for stock class and it was unbelievably fast.

                  But I really do not understand why you act the way you do nhere like sending me the pm asking me not to be your cheer leader.

                  This is why I compared you to the tv character Dr House, you are brilliant, weird sense of humor and terribly self destructive.

                  These things will not stop me from buying the braces you produce because I respect the reality that you are as good as people have said you are at what you do and I have seen the results formyself but I am saying you are a hard person to like.

                      Dan, this is bullshit. What the hell are you trying to pull here? You have the pics to show the work you've done, if self destructing on the net to justify to yourself that you dont need to put anymore time into the e30 chassis because most owners hate you, have it your way. Keep on, because this is going where you want it to.

                                I thought you'd never heard of an s42 until r3v. Why do you have priced services for said "unknown" engine? I would never price work on an engine I don't know anything about.
