Since I had to dump all my funds into relocating, I wasnt able to get a winter beater this year. So far it hasnt been too bad though. Right now my immediate goals are lowering it a little, then throwing some wheels on it. Waiting for the wheels to come in (hopefully in another week or so) and the last few parts of my suspension are like 6 weeks out. Might throw a lip kit on it if I can source an Mtech2 rear for not super expensive. Just put in some racing seats yesterday. My OEMs were trashed, and I was offered a set in exchange for a review. So I jumped on that deal. I have a ton of shows all around the country I need to be at. But time and funds permitting, I’d like to do a motor swap this summer at some point. Still kicking around ideas for that one. But basically it comes down to which motor I can get the best deal on. ---

I think hes trying to sell it. Been thinking about grabbing it and swapping my M20 for that S52. Then I get a daily driver E30 sedan in addition to the S52 coupe. I have another buddy with an S54 swapped E36, that thing is boss ---

Even an M50 turns an E30 into a quick little thing. They can be had on the crazy cheap too. $4-600 with decent mileage. ---
