I painted the sidemarkers black for poor mans fix, Euro trim will come eventually, along with the rest of the IS kit in body matched color.

Long term is buying up the Hartge H27 kit and getting that on the car, along with a 2.7L build with a small turbo on it.

Leaning towards some Hartge Type A's now, 16x7.5 ET 25 ones, The Euroweaves are up to $1500 new, thats getting a bit much for me.

OP... you were right on the money with it.. LOL

New:



Got some goodies from blunt, some bushings, CSB, Guibo, Z3 Shifter and rebuild kit, and a bunch of air intake and ignition parts:



Old Throttle body gasket looked a little oil soaked and burnt:



Replaced with a nice new Goetze gasket:



Dirty old Mann filter replaced with a nice new one of the same brand:



New Intake boot, ICV bracket bushing, and the rest all installed and cleaned up:



Look at those nasty old plugs, looks like i might be running rich and burning oil:



New NGK V power copper cores already gapped to spec:



All button'd up and back together, still pretty dirty, but until i find a pot of gold or get out of college there will be no immediate rebuilds:



Runs great as expected!
