Nice clean looking E30... Good luck, and what turbo engine you going for? ;)
Some cars make power at the front wheels... Real cars lift them.

To be fair thnk most people appreciated the time and imagination that went into your other work. Maybe for most though it was a bit extreme but even Piccaso must of had his critics. Loving the look of this one BTW. 8)

i wish it was mate but not this one. should have alot of power to play with though.

gooner1- lol i was just having a light joke. even i agree my last one was extreme. thanks for the comment on this one mate.

elf- i agree totally mate. still think the zone should have a modified section. even if there are only a few. you've got a pm by the way.
