    Yep, 300-400k is the goal. 200's is nothing. Heck my in-laws have a ford sport-trac with 240k that is a 2001 and they always forget to do oil changes.

      Brad, you were thinking of getting a C30 at one point, right?

      Read all the "Project Grocery Getter" bits on Jalopnik right now.

        My engine sees 6000rpm a lot. I've only had this one for a whopping 1500 miles so far. I'm planning on a LOT more.


        Looking for a clean e30 shell for a project.

          Motor stuff is way down the road, I just like hitting the hornets nest with a bat and seeing what happens

          PM me for detailing services in the Longmont / Boulder Area in Colorado!

            Shotgun is more effective.

              No.. They give similar HP to the stock OBD2 stuff up high, with much better midrange torque.

              The AA Race/Supersprint Euro give much poorer midrange torque, but considerably more HP at the very top end (especially in a cammed/very modded 3.2.)

              I've dyno'd both sets back-to-back on the same cars. For a street car I would run the Turner's every time.

                    In other news, the E36 M3 is back to being more competitive in autocross, now in CSP.

                    All DSP-classed E30s and E36s are now in FSP.

                      Wow it's about time. It's pretty hard to compete with turbo awd cars that weigh the same.

                              The M5 has 206xxx miles and is still in top condition! I hope to get another 100,000 miles with regular maintenance.
