Well after crashing my last e30 last year i decided to build my vert with an S50 on it... After thinking about it , i decided it made allot more sense to put the S50 on the track car.

RIP 10/10/10 Image


On to the new Car...

A little info on the car, S50 engine completly rebuild to 0 hours everything new... Euro maf, Pink top injectors, 323 Euro Flywheel.
Suspension E30 M3 5 lug swap, with rebuild calipers and Zimmerman Crossdrilled rotors. IE 25/22 Sway bar kit, urethane bushings. bilstein sports and IE Stage 3 springs.

Body, Henna Red with DTM Fiberwerks Wide Fenders Flares. Evo Spoiler with Flap.

Got a rust free 1986 325es to start with and take it all apart.

Great build !

Are they Ireland Engineering ARB's and Ground control bars?

Awesome stuff, loving the "neat freak" attitude, very cool 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
