      I'm kind of leaning towards m42 swapping the 318 my girlfriend wants m50 but I let her drive my car and I've decided she will kill herself( I know it's not fast) every car she's had has either had traction control etc or had been an auto 8v VW. She wants m50 for the looks but I think an m42 may be a good alternative that also gets good mileage. Talk me out of it.

          Everybody hates on toes but he really does great work. How many of you have actually seen one of his motors in person? They're gorgeous.

            I don't think people are saying Toes doesn't do a good job of things, its that the the thing he chooses to do don't make a whole lot of sense.

                      Toes is a tard who cuts corners believes an m42 is fast. Who appears to have zero logic at times and mature sense of thinking. Guess we can label him a visionary

                        I'm not calling him dumb because he's clearly dedicated to what he's doing, I'm just saying that what he does isn't shoddy work - it's just not cost effective. Plenty of people blow money on dumber things.

                            Im going to have a 200hp m42. in my gutted sedan that is gonna be faster than most e30s and have the throttle response of a bike. not a smidgeon faster either. I have put considerable research and hands on experience towards this and I am dedicated to get as close as I can to that goal. gotta pay to play fellas!

                                I think he's saying that research and experience from the internet plus money =200hp m42

                                Needs more button flywheel and 2.93 rear end
