It really needs some paint, though I must say I hope to god you don't paint it orange. Be classy, this is such a cool car. Not to say that orange isn't... it just isn't on an E30, BUT I have lots of faith in you. You've done very well so far so I'm hoping you do it right.

I am with him Mike. I have always thought orange would look kinda cool, but only for a few days, I think it would get old. If I were you I would paint it matte black or black or delphin or something, that would look the best!

What is the golden liquid?

Rotrex SX100 Supercharger traction oil.

I found 1 vendor that actually worked. and it cost me wayyyy to much

[Civilian]

I'm pretty sure it's oil for his supercharger.

I was gonna shoot a video tonight, but I noticed a weird rushing noise, and a slight bucking when the car was in gear with no throttle.

I peek around and see a nice big gash in the tube that attaches the release valve to the intake. Great.

So I hop in my buddies newly acquired jeep (woot to the no doors!!) and run over to Autozone. No luck. So we head to home depot and enter the plumbing department. Find exactly what I need and proceed to the checkout. The lady doesnt know what it is, and says they are understaffed so I get the tube for free. +1 for the E30.

Needless to say I spent a few minutes and reattached the once gashed tube. Fired her up and everything seemed great.

Now to make some videos!!

Well what has been keeping the E30 down has finally arrived.

1 liter of this stuff cost me 150 dollars. You can bet your ass I will not be spilling a single drop of this gold.

I also hope none of you ever have to purchase this stuff. Way way too expensive. haha

To be installed tomorrow.

I agree fully. The NV up top was so pathetic, a Honda civic was faster.

It did have lots of bottom end torque, which I became very addicted too.

But the S52 just gives it all, and after the supercharger, I have power in all gears at all rpms. 5th gear at 1500 rpms still has plenty of pulling power. I cant complain whatsoever.

Good job with the E30 bro, you'll have to bring her to AZ and show me in person.

[MR E30 325is]

How did you like going from an NV to an S52? Having ridden in an S50 car and owning an NV car I can say there is gobs of midrange, but the fun high-end powerband shape of the NV just isn't there.
