    Any plans for the car? Are you just using it as a DD, or are you going to start modding? From what I can tell, it already looks lowered.

    Also, there is a whole forum dedicated to this engine/car: www.m42club.com

    If you wanted to look into some mods, I would definitely consider:
    Mark D Chip.. pretty much plug and play.. will run about $200 or you can buy a used one. I think there is one on m42club right now, actually.

    Remove the mess under the intake - pretty much replacing and rerouting some major coolant lines that most likely are rotted under your intake. Honestly, one of the best maintenance things I've done.

    Electric fan - replaces the clutch fan.

    Coil on plug kit - this is also from a seller on m42 club, but I think he's on here too? Amazing quality COP kit, new wires.. amazing.

    You've got a lot of resources here, make sure to use them - especially the search function.

    Any more questions, feel free to ask.
    Thank you for the info ! I am planning on modding it , but tastefully. I was also looking for a chip so I'll look into a used Mark D.

    On my list is suspension , coils if I can , wheels , various engine mods , french hella lights , and a hartge rear wing .

    Also , I appreciate the compliments everyone! ;)

                      M42 for life. Bumper looks great!

                      If you hadn't figured it out, "Does anyone know what causes the little overlapping circles in the paint?"
                      I'm guessing someone took a buffing wheel to it.

                      Definitely a nice find, I can't decide if I like the IS skirts or not ha

                            Thanks! I guess thats the only reasonable explanation for the circles.

                            The side skirts are BMP my man!
