    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.

                                        Got some work done today - front lip is on, lower ducts are in, got some adhesive and junk off the passenger side. Hopefully start buffing tomorrow.

                                        99E1BA6D-4110-4AE3-8A85-7C445DE2A5BE-821

                                        Need to order smoked turns and side markers by Monday, possibly replacing the front bumper trim as well.... I like the "clean" look of no front plate (I would run a WI plate anyways - debating on a running a color matched euro plate). If I run a euro plate, the front trim I have is fine (has 2 holes from previous euro plate install). If I don't run any plate - I'm gonna replace them.

                                        My trim has square knockouts for a front toe hook to pass through - get replacements squares from the dealer?!?
