    Nice catch then!

        Mine does not have that sticker. But there are at least 2 other alpine m3s that I have seen over the last year or 2, Of course im never in mine when I see another.

            Nice find! I hope you took care of the vacuum leaks... There are 2 more elbows on the throttle bodies JB Weld or silicone them in place. Have fun!

                    My M3 is going through a major overhaul right now as well. So at least both of ours will be fresh when done.

                      I believe he was referring to the issue with the icv.


                      Looks good though! Can't wait to see it after the restoration.


                      Go here be happy!

                        The ITB's have two L-shaped 3/8" ports, that like the plenum are just placed and allowed to swivel freely but since the S14 vibrates a lot they sometimes dislodge and run the motor lean quickly. One is located near the firewall (brake booster) the other between throttle 2 & 3 (ICV/ISV). My suggestion to decrease the chance of toasting your motor (worst case scenario) either silicone them or a more permanent solution JB Weld them in place. Note: if you lose one they're hard to find used and new means a new throttle assembly or you can always fab one. HTH

                              I stopped by lutz the other day to check out the car, Looks like a solid car with potential. I took a few pics of the engine bay since I couldnt remember how some of my engine harness was routed since I took it all out to do the engine bay.

                                you should have seen it before i replaced the glass and took degreaser to it! no problem. Its gonna get painted before anything else gets touched. Let me know if you come across some interior parts.
