Naaaa.....Needs euros. I think slammed with euros would look amazing.

I like my diving boards because everyone hates them and they're different. Euro bumpers are just money that could be spent elsewhere.

No doubt Euro's would look awesome but id rather spend the money towards the swap.

Please keep the DBs, they look awesome. Certain cars just pull them off so well, yours being one of them.

Regarding the swap, you will have some serious oil pan clearance issues, as the m50 pan sits lower then an m20 one...

[JasonBates]

By all means, keep the DB's.

It's great to see and early done this well.

just keep the m20
driving this low you cant even go fast enough to need an s50

Thank you! Yeah that was one big issue I was thinking about how to tackle. A friend of mine shortened his E34 pan a bit, was thinking about doing the same. Cons besides wrong dipstick reading/lessened oil capacity?

The car is on air ride. I can air it up to the height of your car and go just as fast as you. Thanks though.

you can space up the motor mounts with some thick washers and that would help a little bit.

Yeah thats an option. Was just worried about driveshaft angle. Hopefully someone with a low 24v car will chime in.

Good looking car. I like the Challenger in the background. :) Do you work in aviation too?

[King Mufasa]

The front end is or its almost kissing the ground. Thats the lowest I see an e30 go.

Looks great man :up:

[smerfs]

I can't remember who it was, but I believe someone is making modified subframes/oil pans to work with the 24v swap and avoid clearance issues. It's a member on here, but they're expensive

:rofl:
BBS's,Bags, S50 swap. Its all just money that could be spent else where!
Nice car tho.

[Vdubmt]

Awesome build so far. Looks perfect.

[theBAYsics]
