    It just offers a little more oomph than the S14, without the $10,000 rebuild. Different strokes for different folks

    oh..well that not what i meant to have come out...i figured the he meant swapping a m20 in for some reason. My bad, if you said the you swapped a m50, m52, etc. that would be a bad thing to do! I don't usually think about those swaps cause i don't ever plan on doing that. also, i wasa in the mind set of stock 325 to stock 318.

    anyway...i have someone who offered me a set of brand new spax springs for $100. I cant seem to find much info about them but searching on the forum it seems like theres alot mixed feelings about them and i was hoping to get someonoe with some first hand experience with them. if they are way to soft for auto-x....let me know

          as far as suspension goes I had the same issues with those springs being soft. I am about to have my vogtland's in and will tell you how awesome they feel (I am hoping) when i get them on lol. Does fidanza produce a *made to fly* super light weight flywheel series for E30's? Someone find me part numbers please? They have to...I got one for a geo storm lol they must make one for an E30. the one for the Geo Storm went from I believe it was 17.5 or 15.5lb stock to 5.5lb's....it was so sexy I literally just pulled it out of it's plastic and carried it around marvelling it's awesomeness for probably 30 minutes, demanding that all of my friends hold my new fly wheel hahaha.

            you put a LTW flywheel in a geo storm? WTF?

            FYI there are lots of flywheels available for our cars - around 8 lbs, $500. worth it if you have money to burn, but you can get most of the way there with $50 and a machinist who has a lathe.
