Nice, yell out if you want help with wiring the M50, should be the same as my car.

You wont regret going M50, seriously shedloads better engine too drive than the M20. The numbers on paper dont look that different, but with the right diff ratio etc M50 e30's are surprisingly quick and just feel much happier while getting thrashed! Mates GTt Caldina and 3.0 Legacy 6 speed are no faster than my m50'd e30.

thought i was losing my mind but yeah those are e36 side skirts. how well did you get them to fit?

paintwork has come up nice

side skirts are fibre glassed to guard and sills...for the seemless look . wnted wheels to match car,save on masking tape.

[Top Secret 2]

That is very red.

Dig the sideskirts
