      I'm running Condor Speed Shop bushings for motor, diff, subframe and trailing arms.  I like them a lot so far! 

      I'm excited to see this in the spring!

            Apparently I misunderstood my body shop guy. Car will be done by *this* Friday.

            I thought a 5 day turnaround was super fast, but he said they were slow and were gonna get right on it.... He also needed to order a new bumper backing, and I'm assuming wanted to wait to ensure he got the right part.

            So it's another long week of waiting. He said everything was getting sprayed tomorrow though, so could be done on Thursday.... Or Friday at the latest.

            Sigh.... (Twittling thumbs).....

              SOMEONE needs to get me more info on this manifold. I need one of these - I hate the way the stock E30 mani looks.

                That is blingin, seems like something that would be used with forced induction but I don't really know.  Really cleans up the top of the engine.

                  It's half of a v12 manifold.

                    ^What he said

                    Someone made that using one of the manifolds from a v12. I dont think it was a bolt on affair. Snap would/should know more about it

                      Found some more info on this.... 1 guy made that mani (I believe it's a welded assembly using the M20 flange and V12 runners/plenum) but no info on if it worked and how it ran. Bummer.

                        Well..... Hoping that today is the day I get the E30 back. Gonna be watching my phone like a hawk!

                        Next step is ordering coils. I've had my eyes on the BC's, anyone have experience with other coils around the $1k range worth mentioning. I like that the BC's have camber plates and are dampening adjustable.....

                            This. BWS is $$$ BUT, you still get quality ride, can pick your wheels off the ground an lay frame static if you so choose. And would still be great for a mild built car. BWS is on top of the game right now for coilovers IMO

                              Yeah - I've been eyeing up those as well. Price tag is alittle more, but you gotta pay-to-play. Options are very similar between the two, and I've got some friends with BC's that really like them.

                              I really like BC's air cup setup as well, I could definitely be interested in that in the future.
