Arrived this morning from the other side of the pond. It will be refreshed/taken apart and cleaned. Sanded. Primered. SEM Trim. Going to black it out. How I like them.

[dinanm3atl]

I knows... I did it on my M3 as well. I haven't done it in forever. Isn't there a DIY somewhere?

Youd better do the 5th gear gate pin before you through that ZF in there!

10 of this/that/other. Guys I am working with have done more and said get 'obd2 manifold gaskets'. Maybe I was misunderstanding. I dunno. No problem. I have extra random parts and big sale once running.

[White325is]

Yeah, They are double as thick as the ones you have.
I have done over 10 24V swaps. So you get used to what is good and better to use.

FYI: Try fap99.com for parts.

[dinanm3atl]

Guess I should order dems... thicker would be better.

[White325is]

With stock headers I would use them. But you have the cheap ebay headers and they are never perfect.
These are the ones I would suggest using.

But thats just me, I have had experience with both style. I would rather use the thicker 3 piece style over the thinner 2 piece style.

[dinanm3atl]

Apparently these are the OBD2 style which multiple people said to use so I dunno.

[White325is]

U should get the exhaust gaskets that are 3 pieces instead of 2. Them ones there suck.

Opted not to use the Aasco eh?

Just cause of clutch options. I sold it. UUC hooked me up and they are down the road.

It is one of Matt-B's shift boots. I have the cardinal seats. May just go with fresh OEM boot since I went with red seats. Dunno.
