I think it will look pretty wild in the car. I want something you'll notice, but not focus on...

True, well I don't really have a very good grasp on the scale of the pattern, so I definitely want to see it mocked up in the car.

Ehhh, just realized you're only like an hour and 45 minutes away from me. You need to make your way up here in the summer for a BMWCC Trillium chapter track day at Mosport.

02/23/10 - Exhaust reorientation

[87e30]

So those are euro bumpers and a cut up mtech 1? Whatever it is looks pretty sick. Exhaust is kinda lame for my tastes, but when everyone sees what I'm doing I'll be the laughing stock of r3v. :rofl:

[newman]

I had that muffler laying around, you're right it's not very extreme, I really like this look...

God damnit, don't do that.

That's sick. Do that! Seriously, your e30 is so crazy the exhaust fits.


(Mine will not be this extreme)

Kouki taillights give me a massive fucking erection. Ugh.
Do it bro! Looks good.

I'm gonna stick with the vibrant setup for now. No use changing what isn't broken.

But at some point I'll probably go straightpiped with tips like that...

Also, 240s fucking rule. I will someday own a super dirty hella JDM 240. I was close w/ my rhd rb26 swap, but it was all stock on the outside.

Also, I couldn't resist the temptation and bought a pair of takatas... ugh. so jdm ballerrr

I have a soft spot for them too. 180SX spec. Cream! Does the RB26 just drop in on those cars?

[newman]

Uh, it doesn't DROP in, but it's a shit ton easier than in an e30!

I WANT THIS
