Nice estoril. I really want the new twin screw for mine, but 7k is way too much.

BTW what kind of job did you end up taking?

Im really growing to like e36 M3's. I say put a blower on it or possibly a turbo if its not too expensive.

If you dont mind me asking, why dont you have a lisence 'till the end of summer?

I'd blow the 5k on some HRE dubs

I wouldnt SC it till you can afford to do internals.. But I don't know a thing about how well built stock BMW motors are.

Actually fucktard I just recently (read: past 2-3 years) have had ANY interest in hondas, I started out with american muscle cars (Owned a couple GM's but still have a soft spot for the 67' GT350) then got into VW's and BMW's and then since I couldn't afford an E30 I drove an Acura Legend 2dr, from that I went to a prelude, so stfu you don't know shit about me bitch.

They build really impressive engines but they are high compression (over 10:1) and require a lot of tuning to be reliable/put down lots of power. They are fine under 9psi, AA has been doing forced induction on BMWs forever, and have very few problems (I do like the thought of the fast spooling rotrex, it's very small too.)


I don't have a license because I got 1 ticket a couple months ago (80 in a 45, pace by a white intrepid cop who was tailing me on an empty road, floored it for a sec and he pulled me over.) I had 5 positive points and a perfect record, they gave me 6 months suspension, $600 and 6 points (with a lawyer.)

Anyways, I'm going to keep my rims and get them refinished with polished lip.

Most bmw turbo kits suck that are out there. THey are not designed correctly. Supercharger all the way.
