    Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

      Thank you sir! I sub'd to your build as well. You will LOVE the gains you get with a good exhaust attached to those headers.

      Right here - http://www.ogracing.com/sparco-front...w-e30-3-series

      Looks like they still have some in stock, the fitment was perfect for me and took about a 7 business days to get here. If they don't, I.E. has them as well!

        A small update... The new rims are almost done, went 20% gloss black due to the color of the car ;) Adapters are going to be ordered, just need to get some new tires and it's go time (messed around with some effects) -



        Also waxed this dirty bitch -



        Interior is coming along nicely -

                My flag was a 3-piece design a buddy made. EASY to apply and if you don't like it you just peel it off. I think if I bought another shift know it would be exactly like yours but in black!

                  Enjoyed reading your build... I'm a fan of the style 32's also and have been considering them for my 88 vert with the 42 draft design adapters. Wish they were a little less dinero. Good looking car.

                    Thanks for taking the time to go through it :) That is exactly the route I am going for the style 32's, running a 0 offset setup for a fresh new look.

                          Great thread! Would like to know more about the benefit of going with a Megasquirt set up and also tuning for E-85? Just moved to Mizzou and have easy access to E-85. Would love to utilize this cheaper, alternative fuel. What are the benefits vs negatives?

                            Thank you! I like messing with stuff and most of all I like having the ability to "change" things when I want. Megasquirt allows me to do that along with the ability to tune for different fuels among many other things... I am still learning something new everyday and applying it.

                            E85 has its perks, it may be cheaper but you will burn more of it. ~30% more than regular. I think availability is the biggest negative for me, i have 2 maps saved for both fuels so im not stranded.

                            Pros -
                            • cheap race gas (can handle some timing = more power in essence)
                            • Pretty generous grey area for leniency on tuning

                            Cons -
                            • availability
                            • fuel system upgrades (pump/injectors/etc.)
                            • % of ethanol may very enough to throw off a tune, e70/e85 (winter/summer blends)

                            It's late and I may be forgetting some stuff but at least you get the idea. I am no expert and learning something new everyday. Hope this helps you answer some of your questions.

                              Well a small update, with my work so busy I havent had much time to throw money at this car. Adapaters are in and rims done. Tires are in the mail!

                              A HUGE shoutout to the guys over at 8380 Fab. for hooking it up with an awesome product -

                                That's going to be a "snug" fit. :p What tire sizes are you going to run?
