Did you build your own mounts for the motor?

Those are from e30v8.com

[ballski]

yes I got them from Matt @ e30v8. I'm trying the other coil tomorrow. Luckily no damage, but it scared the shit outta me. It started smoking and spewing out fluid. I thought it was gasoline at first!

oh and btw I have 2 e46 steering shafts on their way to my house. I'm going to give it a try also. Spent $50 shipped

where did you get them from!?

[IronFreak]

I was talking to a friend, we were discussing the route to take with the exhaust. I know that they are expensive, but I think I might got with treehouse CAB's to buy more room down below. After what Eurotrash said on what he spent to make his exhaust work, if I spend a little more on one part to reduce cost on another, it might be worth it.

[ballski]

Yes, that's a great idea. It will free up a good amount of space. And I got my e46 stuff from ebay lol

[IronFreak]

did you just search e46 steering shaft?


.........you grabbed all the cheap ones!!!!........I didn't even think of that!

I'm on the prowl now......

[ballski]
