    Those are the ones that are needed, if you have TreeHouse Racing CAB's the fit is a hell of a lot better or you will probably have to cut off the heat shield around the stock one. But, that being said they all with fit differently (ebay quality) and will work fine, the coloring does get really weird after like a month too lol

    Lol yup they turn a weird purple neochrome

        So I got my M50 longblock the other day.

        IMG1624.jpg

        I needed some parts for my swap so I got the following:

        late model coolant reservoir

        IMG1645.jpg

        e28 535i motor mounts 

        IMG1646.jpg

        M50 alternator (my longblock didn't come with one. I got it on the cheap!)

        IMG1650.jpg

        Then I filled up my corolla and went to milwaukee to meet with Snap and KaiserRolls for lunch.

        IMG1630.jpg

        I bought these headers off of KaiserRolls for my m50 swap for $50. The welding connecting them to the midpipe is almost too good to be true.

        IMG1647.jpg

        IMG1649.jpg

        Then Kaiser drove me to meet up with Rampelsauce. I bought a zinnoberrot trunk + is spoiler off him for $40... Yes... I am in the back of an E30 coupe WITH an e30 trunk. So very spacious indeed (and I'm almost 6'2").

        IMG1635.jpg

        After a very dangerous drive back (freezing rain.. saw a lifted jeep with meaty tires spin off the interstate at 70mph smack right into a concrete wall under a bridge) my corolla had used less than half a tank to get to Milwaukee and back (I'm from madison; I filled my corolla up before I left)

        IMG1641.jpg

        I "Kryloned" the is spoiler and did the trunk swap. Here's how she sits.

              glad your travels were safe. 

              the fact that you shared the backseat with a decklid is hilarious :D

                    They had to try and weld it when it was already on the car. So I can see how that would have posed a problem.
