    Fuh Razzzzze!

    Talk about as cold an intake as possible lol. I put a flexible tube straight from the highbeam to the barrel intake. Call me whatever you like, but the car picks up more speed when I get over 100mph... I did repeated before tests on a certain highway straight, seeing how fast I get before the tunnel begins, and after I did this mod the car reaches a full 10mph faster before I get to the tunnel. Let the chips fall where they may lol.


    I think it looks quite nice actually, form follows function FTW


    Comments? Questions? Flames? lol

    I've always subscribed to the same theory, form follows function, so if it is working for you, then by all means, sport it.

    I don't care for the headlight delete at all but if there was a way to circumvent that and run a similar setup I myself might be interested in it. I can believe there would be gains, albeit small (what else is there w/the M20?), to be had.

        Not exactly, Jay, let me explain. I should have carried my statement out to the point that I don't like the loss of the headlight, as it too serves a function, and not one I'd be willing to forego on a "street" car, and not for such minimal gains. IF it was a track car only, sure, no problem.

        Make sense?

            I totally agree with you Wells, but I just figured that one HIGHBEAM is just as good as two for 95% of the cases. Losing a HEADLIGHT on the other hand, is a very bad idea.:D

                  I agree on the painting it part. Black would do the trick.

                    Ok fair enough. I'll do that when I have time. It does sound like a good idea.

                      Looks like ass, but probly sounds nice. You had gorgeous highbeams, may i suggest putting it back in, and finding a spare left grille of witch you can cut and insert that funnel thing and redirect your intake through? That way, you can at least retain a full light set up.

                      "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                        I dont care for the headlight delete either. I guess if your happy with the performance though thats cool. I bet you could fab something up where youd still get cold air and not ruin a great set of headlights.

                          I don't like high beam delete, but yours are the exception, looks very good IMO.

                            It'd be even better if the headlight delete was for a turbo but for an n/a car its close enough :)

                            If your headlights didnt look so damn good I'd like it even more!!

                              I like it, and if it helps out that much performance wise, i say keep it!
