    You sure its an es? No cow-catcher and the es emblem looks a little wonky. Nice car regardless, the houndstooth is b-e-a-utiful.

          Congrats on the upgrade.

          I have an 87 iS front lip in the color if you're interested. It's not an eS btw, but I think you knew that. Also, wtfbbq upper radiator hose? Double also, it has the wrong intake boot.

            I used to not like Type C's very much but they have grown on my quite a bit. They look great on your car! The interior is veddy nice as well!

              the monster hose is temp. Last week found a nice leak in the top hose. None of the part stores had the oem so I had todo with the flex (14bux)

                The boot is for an i motor. The Eta intake boot is smaller and the breather hose should hook up on the firewall side of the boot, not the radiator side.

                      Its just the overlay of the 6k gauge. I could tell because the needle for idel/fwy is exactly where it is on my eta, so someone just slapped that thing on

                        Yes it IS an i boot, not all i cars have the extra brake booster hose nipple.

                        I've owned 15ish E30's, I've learned a thing or 2 about them. ;)
