Possibly g57yle.... thats the only turbo'd e30 in that neck of the woods THAT I KNOW that could be pulling that much speed IN THAT COLOUR.

There are some serious weapons arond in e30 shells now..... they seem to be coming into their own for turbo and supercharger conversions.

and the thing is, when you can get 320 BHP off a standard M20B25 block by bolting on a supercharger, why the fek would you d1ck about worrying about the wiring or clearances on S50/2/4 engines. It works out cheaper in the long run too, as you dont have to fanny with engine mounts, gearbox mounts, moving bits and pieces to the boot etc etc etc etc

scott i dont know if its the car you mention but it blasted past me very quickly and ive been in some serious modified golfs and this thing was moving like one of them. as i came down to redbridge roundabout it was just pullin away from the lights and all i could make out was it had azev rims and four exhausts. then in a puff of turbo smoke it was gone :) this thing was shiftin mate.

metallic blue colour?

If so then it is the one Scott is talking about, that has a supra engine pushing way over 600bhp in it, must be an absolute missile

I think thats a zoners car if it is the one with the supra engine, i seem to remember reading a thread on here about it tearing the diff mount from the cross member.....guess he's beefed it up a bit now!

This is it i think....
