Parts relisted.

IMO I would endevour to keep it. Swap the line fittings for AN, get longer lines and mount it above the intercooler. Or do what most people do when installing aftermarket ones, make a few brackets and mount it behind one of the brake ducts.
Best way to do stuff like this is to make it out of cardboard and mock it up before commiting to anything.
But as mentioned before, personally I'd try and keep it.

Yo dude, I researched turbo m20b25's for AGES prior to deciding on my current heart.
Put it this way.
I never felt 100% comfortable that someone managed to get one going, reliabily and for a long time on a megasquirt.
Add that to the fact we have local support for the Link and you've got a fairly strong case.

I had the 1166's in my old Nissan and daily drove it for about 8 months.
Pad's worked fine when cold and AMAZING when hot. Mind you I was using them on 4pots.
Got mine from Racebrakes along with some braided lines, but you could probably find them overseas for cheaper?
From memory it was around $400?
/edit - Can't compare to the 1144's as I've never used them sorry.

Stunning.
/Edit - God I LOVE group B.

PM'd you dude.

You could head down the same road as me and build an RB25DE+T?
Same price bracket but do a few simple bolt-ons, an exhaust and your easily around the 220rwkw with much more scope to move.

Bit to wide for my liking. But I like the wheels. Could maybe break up the mass of red with the BMW roundel on the bonnet which is missing.
Word bro, I thought the exact same thing.
Red's too much for me personally. Prefer it white with silver centers.
Jesus f**k! Did any of you see the abortion that is the rear arch and guard?
Kill it with fire
Haha..

Yes? No? Too much red?
Discuss!

Happy birthday bro! Pulled that M20 out of your boot yet?

As P-Jay said more or less it’s a fashion statement and reminds me a lot of the funny fashion campaign in Zoolandar, derelict, where people were spending a lot of money trying to look homeless.
Thats it. Petrol fight!
Poll doesn’t make sense to me though.
How are you supposed to see the relationship between yes or no with age?
Or am I doing this reading thing wrong?

JZ is cool.
Bag's I think are a bit of a cop-out.
Rolling art.
Man I love how this car generates controversy!

Fiberglass or plastic? Just the skirts or do you need the mouldings too?

FULL TOOLKIT!!!! A++++

BC Golds. Not enough height adjustment in the rear. Weak ass wheels. ~60mm ground to sump clearance.

Awesome find!

Here's the breakdown on my personal take:
Honestly I think it’s too dark for a parts sale website, I’m not sure the grunge theme is what I would have gone for. Also there are 3 different blues used.
- I'm a big fan of simplicity and continuity in websites so I'd either change the gradient banner to colour match the navigation buttons or vice-versa. Ditto with the "view more" buttons.
No e-commerce (not sure if this is in the pipeline).
- Potential a cross sell for your customer, heaps of advantages, fairly easy to implement.
Difficult to find contact details.
- Enough said, these should be EVERYWHERE
Car on the banner looks like it’s been poorly cut out.
- Sharpen up and soften where applicable.
It looks like you've used the same font for a bunch of your websites (including your own?)
- As you know Font packs are super cheap and there’s heaps of free ones available online. Be sure to keep things fresh!
Site credits too big
- Credits too big and detracts from the links and products at the bottom.
On the pro side I’m a big fan of top sellers you've added and the fact you can drill down via the cars model, so good work on that! And provided it’s easy to manage for your customer it looks like you are on the right track to a winner, just a few niggles IMO.

I'm a big fan of FM3
And I hate "drift" modes in other games.
This might just be me but I don’t get it.. If it’s a driving simulator why does it need different modes?
Only complaint with Forza 3 is when you’re using the Xbox steering wheel. Lame 270 degree turning, no clutch pedal, blah. MS need to take a page (or several) from the G25.

Oooh its your E30 that fastcars are doing! Was speaking to someone at a trackday about it, haha
Small world!
Should be ace when its done dude..

Yo dude,
+10? Not much and remember that camber also plays a huge factor.
Rule of thumb for agressive stance on E30's. 0 at the front -10 at the back. I'm pretty sure R3V or E30Tech have a wheel fitment thread you can check out too.
