Just joined the forum, and I see this shit. It's awesome! I want it! Rims suit the car well.

Well this thread has been inspiring, I've been looking for a good way to grenade my auto trans before I swap it, seems a 2.7i Turbo build fits the bill. Great work!

It actually never really broke, it just sucks so much compared to a manual. Slush boxes they are.

Damn TACO your car looks amazing man! Love Da wheels...I think I made my choice. What make, size are they front and rear? using any spacers? Are those kamotors nomal flairs or extra wide?

They are str wheels, 514 I think. 17x9s. I got them from str directly, If you call them ask for mike he is the cool guy.
They are his normal flairs, don't think he is making them anymore though, and I am using a 10mm spacer in the front. Nothing in the rear.

New seats :D

oh yeah!! my kind of seat.....now remove that damn ugly dirty moisture trapping rust forming carpet and do a nice truck bedliner floors :)




you can see in my restoration build... I primed first...tremclad...and then Truckliner (in this pic you can see how it looks I started with the rear) lots of advantages to it...

this is Reno, aint no rust here

Rust is not a problem, among 6 e30s here not one has a spec of serious rust.

surprising amount of body roll in the last shot for ultra stiff GC coilovers

[thatphysicsguy]

wonky sway bar mount still needs replacing last I heard...

Though would that be enough to cause the roll?

I doubt it, stock sway bars dont do much. IT would help I suppose :)

Methanol, 60lb injectors and intercooler sprayers are in the works.
Im going to try injecting the methanol straight into the turbo inlet, Im not sure if anyone has tried it on an m20. I was also reading some using a pre inlet meht injector and a pre TB.

Here's a picture of the compressor inlet from a Cosworth XB turbocharged, methanol fueled Champ Car engine (This engine uses a very small PR and no intercooling)
