dude - this is the stuff I dream of! it doesn't make my lust for an E30 M3 any easier..

what did that manifold cost, $1500-$2k? definitely a work of art. I'm so sick of looking at $100 ebay crap. :(

Thanks S, I can't give Anders and Castro's enough credit for making this happen ;)

Just make sure it is ready for Afest 2 in June.


Oops,did I just spill when the next Archiesfest is??? ;):D

Your car looks great. I've seen it at Chris's shop a few times and it was up on the lift Friday when I stopped by.

Ok Chris @ Castro's has been my right hand since I can't wrench post back surgery and this month he's been on it with his new Miller 350!

So here's the latest from this weekend, after taking Anders' advice Chris & I decided to improve ground clearance by tucking a V-band above the 90* bend... downpipe mods are completed!

Dumptube & WG --> Downpipe


V-band tucked up & fitted


Exhaust pipe clearance ;)


This week, wrap the pipes in the engine bay, fab the (M6) cat-back exhaust, try to figure out COP, Low-Z injectors & Methanol injection with MegaSquirt v3.57. Those damn Vorshlag motor mounts better hold up! Gotta get Group-N Trans mounts...
