wow, some great responses came out of this. Its definitely been feeling lately that the best thing to do is to keep the E30 and improve the driver.

@Charles Freeborn, I lived in Seattle for 7 years before moving to SoCal about 3 years ago and I know ALL about PRO3. I blame those guys for taking all the 885 heads!! haha I couldnt find a replacement for mine and it started the avalanche of the 24v build. I still want to build a high compression M20 someday, but for now my aluminum block M52 will do. Mine has the M3 cams already in it so its a "baby M3" motor at 2.8L but my power to weight ratio trumps those swaps. Kevin Doyle basically built this car for me, this was a motor he was going to use and I bought it from him. Love that guy!

@Dave. I love 914s and my biggest fear selling the E30 to get one is that its a "grass is greener" scenario and I would regret losing what I have. Thanks for the insight, I may still get one down the road, but it wont be to replace my E30.

I am looking at a pair of Recaro SRDs to replace my Recaro SEs that I currently have. I really want to run with the Alfa club and they require a 5pt harness with any car older than a 2000 MY. Lame, but I think its a step in the right direction.

Thanks everyone! I will still keep my eye on this thread
