Dude nice, ya you and KAmotorsboth say you can squeeze 350up outta the m20 but i somehow just cannot believe it.

I thought I was a bit conservative on my HP goals..

Why not go with the M3 front bumper to complete the look?

always wondered what an m3 would look like with an alpina cow catcher

Personal opinion. I love the way normal E30 trunks look with M3 panels...or maybe I'm thinking of the M3 vert. Either way, I think they look better without a spoiler too. Awesome project, can't wait to see where it goes.

Like Nando said I'm curious to see how the late model will look. I plan on making a nice splitter. The rear bumper is going to be m3 style with out exhaust cutout. Side exit exhaust. If I don't like the front I will get the m3 front bumper.

What are you plans for changing the A pillar and the trunk?

I may leave the A-pillars or fabricate some sheet metal pieces. The trunk is most likely going to be fiber glass.

Looking forward to seeing this done. Also h1c might be a bit laggy, may consider a different turbo for better drivability if its a 2.5.

Yes I am considering a different turbo. I believe but can't tell due to the numbers being worn that the turbine housing is either 16cm^2 or 18cm^2. Any recommendations on a turbo?

I'm actually kind of curious to see what it looks like with a late model front, but I'm not sure how the rear would work.

I think there was a white car on here that did just this, with a m3 fenders, side skirts and rear bumper.

I see that and I am impressed.
