Here's one, the bay is still really dirty and I have another valve cover that I have clean up waiting to be installed. That picture is clearly not a recent one!!

I hate it when people rush through swaps and leave shit dirty...
nice car though, needs some wheels but its a sleeper as is.
Not everyone has a nice garage/time/money to do a picture perfect swap. Sorry masa sir.

Well bud...
Ive done some HUGE jobs outside in 30 degree weather in my time.
But aside from that, are you telling me that he couldn't spend an hour or two of his time during the swap to scrub some things down with some simple green? Which I might mention is cheap.
My workshop isn't nice and its small as shit. I dont even have running water down there. I use simple green and some elbow grease.

The few days I had to wash the bay it was 10* outside, so I decided to just move forward with the project. I was much less concerned about how clean the bay was than I was about it running well in a timely matter. Trust me, there were no short cuts taken in that bay other than some oil and grime. :up:
Fired up first try and runs great! I went with 2.5" from the down pipes back to a y pipe with factory style flanges on it so the catback has a factory fit. I am catless right meow and have a good amount of rasp...has any one try an Aeroturbine muffler? Seems that a bunch of e46 M3 guys are using them?!?!

Who are you anyway?
Don't worry who I am.
I'm not telling you he couldn't spend an hour or two cleaning shit up. He obviously didn't have the time or give a big enough shit about his m50 swap to clean anything.
Like I said not everyone has the leisure time to do such things. Maybe he had a weekend to do it and time was tight who knows. I don't see the reasoning in dogging on his swap because the engine bay is dirty.
