Did some screwing around on my car yesterday

Found this old dizzle exhaust tip which slid right over my twin tips

Then I broke out the 2 shitty cragars that i had laying around for a test fit. What do you guys think?

Exhaust tip = NO!

Cragars = YES!

Oh yes to the wheels!

[RamRod E28]

I love the wheels and that tip came off right after that pic lol

I wouldn't trust this at all for towing unless he did plenty if reinforcement underneath and in the trunk. Using the shock mounts seems like a bad idea in the first place since it's such a common rust point.

I'd have to look up where the oem trailer hitch gets mounted, my euro shell had one. I know it also had extra bracing in the front of the trunk between the strut towers. Guys in Europe tow small campers with these babys!

You should snap a couple pics Chris, I think it could be reinforced and work pretty well, obviously not too big of a trailer though.

I have pictures from the previous owner when it was installed and taken off. I'll look for them next week when I'm home.

That would be great if you could find them! I would love to tow my ski boat with the e28

I worked on a mustang today... It was awful Ford is garbage

How do you plan on sizing the other turbo for the twin setup?

How would one use the compressor maps for this?

[jc43089]

Thanks Chris!  So that is an OEM setup?

I guess its not OEM but a euro dealer option Westfalia trailer hitch. Doing some research this exact hitch wouldn't work on a US car but the basic design is a good base for a custom one.

Here is the BMW one, no idea how/where this one mounts underneath but it also has a rear strut tower brace. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=DC11&mospid=47220&btnr=71_0088&hg=71&fg=10

Thanks Chris you ARE da MAN!!! And anyone elses thoughts on twin td04 turbos on the seta? With low boost a big ass intercooler and have a y-pipe for the twins to go to the intercooler. I was thinking about angling the trubos back a n=bit and run small pod filters on each and rock the smaller hot side parts from earlier wrxs so dirt cheap good turbos. Next step is to get an e30 i cam and springs with harness and e30 megasquirt pnp so the stroker is gonna happen first then start hording parts for the twins after that. I bet me and mr menard can swap cams and springs and put in a wideband and guage in a fortnight. i want to see if the m20 seta will run lean with stock fuel components before going ham on a new harness and getting megasuirtle
