Title: Amazing growth... Site/Member news
Post by: sheepdog on April 26, 2006, 07:44:11 PM: This board is now 7 weeks old (6 publicly).

The growth of this site has been amazing. Much faster and larger than I (or anyone I think) had expected in such a short time.

We currently have 142 members.
A ton of how-tos and links to how-to's related to our specific cars

Our members have:
A skidplate in the works
An M.A.F. conversion kit on the way

We also have some serious engine mods happening;
Two turbo mods going on
Two strokers in the works
Another turbo setup found (rumour was there was only 1)

I do not think the e30 M42 community has ever had so much going on before. We seemed to be the outcasts and had terrible representation on other sites. If there were projects like these going on before, and I am sure some of it was, it was spread all over where no one knew it was happening and/or or got buried on other sites.

Maybe now that we have a face for our community, and we get a little larger maybe we can use it to pressure some larger companies to start acknowledging we need more performance mods. Supercharger kit anyone?

Thanks to everyone for helping to make this happen. We will all benefit from it.
