Looking good Josh! Definitely invest in a strut bar, it really improves the turn-in and feel of the car.

My buddy took this for me over the weekend.

[luis.e30325es]

here's my engine bay on my first swap.
never thought id see myself doing this at age 19.
been seeing a lot of painted valve covers as well as plastic covers, decided to do it myself.
tell me what you guys think.
sorry for it being dirty, its clean now, for sure.


also, im using two 10" pullers, will that be enough to cool my engine?

isnt the akg adapter 200$ ? ouch

wiring is not that hard, my adapter was 50$ off e30 tech

yea it was 200. pricey but worth it in my opinion...

Man these look great guys. I am starting mine this weekend as long as the rain holds off. The one part I am missing and can't find anywhere is that fire wall harness cover

^^^They are off an e30m3. All 4 peices brand new are less than 60 bucks from the dealer

[NERDE30]
