        Congrats on the purchase! Never mind the S14 purists, they bring a good point and a wealth of knowledge, but for some reason refuse to think outside the box. You sound like you know where you plan to start and the finished result, and what to do to get there.

        I say swap all the motors you want. Give it 3-4 decades and I bet we will be off fossil fuels anyhow. If you want to run a $18.00 / gallon fossil fuel rig it will be at a private track. Or at least if we are running a fossil derivative it won't be worth trying to run in a S14.

        Anyhow, looks like fun!

        It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

          I love the pics, the car looks great. Do BBS LMs grow on trees out there?

              Nope. Euro S50. S38's have a flat valve cover like a stretched S14. Similar (sort of) intake mani too.

                Yes there is a BBS forest just northwest of Munich

                I really like the BBS LM wheels but they are expensive and I´d always be afraid to damage them on the track. Maybe I´ll get a set later to use on
                the road (if they will clear the Massive brakes I´m thinking about getting).

                As for now I will most likely get Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels in
                white or black.

                PS. Just to be clear - the car with the LM´s and all the blue hoses is not mine.

                  one of the stupidest things Ive read on r3v.

                  As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                  You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                    lol

                    Theres a fossil fuel discussion somewhere... I don't have much to add except that I seriously doubt we will be without it in any of our lifetimes.

                      No shit. Even if youre 15(:roll:), you'll still be filling up at the GAS station the day you die.

                            I would do that with an E30, but not an E30 M3, looks like fun though, its just its going to get damaged and when it does I would rather it not be an M3.
