    some updates to the vert. MMMMMM30?

    before




    318ic 68k original miles.




    after...

    M30/getrag 260 (thanks to the kind folks at autobahn sport)
    stock exhaust manifolds to single 2.5", cat, resonator, and M coupe stock muffler. single in/dual out.
    GC coilovers
    Mtech2 wheel
    ZHF weighted knob
    custom upper strut brace
    smoothed decklid
    replaced front valance (yes, i know i need a lower center grille)
    body-colored lower rockers
    euro grilles
    euro plate filler
    euro elip smilies
    euro bumper strips
    iS lip
    fogs
    RS reps
    blacked out center grille

    maybe some other stuff i'm forgetting.

    and yeah. my rear valance is a bit wonky around the exhaust. i have an ACS thats likely gonna cover that.

        Might I also recommend some black clip for the iS lip. The white ones stick out like a sore thumb.

        Once again, another thread that makes me want a cabbie.

                      Looks awesome! just curious, but what kind of gas mileage are e30's getting with m30's?

                          sweet. did you hook up the A/C? was it hard to fabricate the lines? ditto on the mpg question. i believe a regular m30 gets like 17 but the e30 is lighter.
