Looks good! How much were those wires, and do they make a big difference?

Looks like your car had too much pot...

Not digging the blood shot eyes...
I like what you've done with the valve cover. Nice and ubderstated, but very visually pleasing.

why the RED kidneys & RED headlight rings? is it to match the RED pin stripe?

[enercity]

ix is looking a lot better!! how did that harness cover fit with the washer fluid tank? did you have to do any cutting? I've been thinking about getting one....

well with the mods that ive done i have more power. according to the butt dyno. i havent adjusted the afm yet. i think its running rich. i suppose now i need a fuel pressure reg. ill see how adjsuting the afm goes.... pluss new cap an roter help out im sure cut the old stuff was toast. im sure the wires had to make some dirffrence. they are new 300$ i picked mine up slighly used for 75$. if it wasnt for that id prolly of gotten some from jegs and made some. i dont think they are worth 300$. if you can pic em up cheap or for as much as some other good wires i think its worth it.

jeffersonville IN. just across the boarder. been talking the guy down for months.

i thought it might look good so i gave it a shot. if it was a white car it may look better. or a japanise white car. or a race only car.

yeah i had to trim it at the windshield fluid resevor. i took snips and a file and a razor and sand paper. its pretty easy just got to take small parts at a time. you also have to trim it at where it will touch the intake man. pritty simple. i also used a 318 cover to the blower moter so i didnt have to mod much and to keep it simple.

ill get more pics later on.

[moatilliatta]

oh yeah the metal airbox was tough to get to go down in there. i recon its resting on my charcoal canister. the filter that goes in it is bigger also. i say by about 2ish inches on both sides..

[moatilliatta]

oh yeah its so fun to go crusing with the hood off.

[golfdmb18]

does that guy own a bmw parts company? I saw his ad in the yellow pages and im pretty sure its the same guy.

[moatilliatta]
