          The couple of M50 E30's I've driver were pretty fucking fast. Granted, I drive a chipped eta, but they're (24V's) quite lively.

            They are properly powered with a 24v, nothing insanely fast that isnt driveable but most people with swapped m/s e30's wanted something reliable and smooth. If i wanted something nuts instead of rebuilding my motor when i dropped a valve i would have decked out a sr20 and dropped it in. This car should be clean as fuck when it is all said and done. I would go with s52 obd1 due to the clean power and the acheivable 300hp is plenty of power in a sub 3k pound car.


            Cant wait to see more updates, keep us posted:D

              well i have driven alot of E30's. Plus i owned a original Hartge H27 (hense the the name). But this car is ok fast. It will be getting a power upgrade in the near future.

                If people love these rims, how can they talk so much about how bad SportMaxx's look?

                    well for one the center caps were off, they look alot different with them on. plus they r super rare. And at a cost of $700+ for each wheel. they r just in a whole other class.

                      ok i dont have any pics of the car but here r some of the parts going on it.
                      here they r


                      the ground controls


                      and the Massive Brakes front and REAR




                      the proportioning valve for the rear


                      And what seats to choose. The dove vaders r power only, and the mulberry vaders r power and heat, oh and the tan sport seats. Whichever i choose will be getting recovered.

                          Vaders are super heavy, thats the only real downside to them.

                            yes i know, but the power i hope to have should counter the wieght added.

                              Spacing the wheels out to clear the brakes? Or are they just so awesome that you don't have to worry about it?

                                not the fronts r on spacers, the rear will be just fine. When i had the wheels built i had the setup to run with the brakes so they r offset properly.
