    Are you slower than this?

    But go for a turbo M50.

    Didn't see you at that car thing in the Gaslamp on Sunday.
    I'll do some videos, right now I may be leaning towards turbo M20 because of how easy it sounds haha, I just need to break open that bottom end and make sure it's ok...

    Yeah I was supposed to go, but I had something come up. We brought out a Gallardo and something else... can't remember.

    Should I sell my old car? Should I start a thread about it?

    I think I should....
    I'm sorry for posting on Rev, shouldn't have done it in the first place.

    To be honest, I do love my job.

    I have ridden in some of the fastest cars in the entire world, so at the end of the day when I get into my e30 it does feel slow... slower than dirt. Earlier in this thread someone said to slow down and think, definitely a good piece of advice for myself.

    My car does handle great for being an older BMW, it sounds amazing and it does run great...here and there, I just always want more or something better and that's just how I am. Unfortunately, I'm not in the position to buy a Lambo or Bugatti but I sure do have the itch to push my car for more power, a lot more. I've always loved turbos, always loved BMW's. This e30 is my baby and I want to get the most out of it, I guess it's just a matter of committing to either a swap or turbo which is why I made this thread.

    After a lot of thinking, I'd love to finish my clutch build and start piecing together a turbo kit. I guess we'll just see how that goes, but thanks again to everyone for the help so far. Keeps me thinking about what to do next...

    my last e30 had a cam and rebuil head, chip, miller MAF, and a 4.10 LSD, full intake/exhaust.

    it ripped up to about 140. car was fun but felt it met the limits with FI. however, it was fun and more than enough power to have a blast in.,

    now my m50 vert...well i have a plan for that motor, but i dont want to spoil anything...cough cough 3.0 cough cough cough
