My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

[mbulsa]

just read up your whole build thread, makes me wish I took more time with my e30s and put a little more effort into them like you have. Awesome car man.

That's a sick ass exhaust.

One more for my elbow hurting after polishing hood.

Got it back, Sounds GREAT! Not loud, but you can hear it :) freeway cruising doesn't drone whatsoever, i actually can't even hear the exhaust note, only engine. I'm so happy, highly recommend the Scorpion exhaust, very high quality, also, if you need a good exhaust guy, Louie @ Exhaust Specialist in Burlingame is great, and inexpensive. I'll make a video when i take my car for a drive with my gopro/suction cup mount.

Don't add up what you spend and it will all be worth it! :D

The catback came in the mail....



The oval tip looks really long, it better not stick out too far, from the looks of another pic i saw, doesn't seem to be a problem.when installed. I never thought I'd spend some much for an exhaust system...$437 catback,$150 hi flow cat, $190 headers + paying a shop to weld it all up for me... ~$300. over 1000$, ah! i need to not think about these things.

It's all worth it right?

Some Good News. Some Bad News, so today, I mounted the new studs and headers, replaced my CSB, cleaned up everything under there, and when I attempted to change my output shaft seal, it all went down hill...first I drove all around to find a damn 30mm socket, then I find one and the guy says it will fit, it doesn't, had to grind it down, no biggy, so anywho, I get under the car with the 30mm and try to break that shit loose with a socket wrench! No chance, then tried with a breaker bar. still no chance, so i drag out the air compressor and impact gun, still no luck!

HOW DO YOU GET THE DAMN NUT OFF THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SHAFT?

So after lots of frustration I said **** it and reinstalled my driveshaft and take it for a ride :)

Had some fun setting off alarms with open headers :) My car sounds like a beast! Can't wait for my muffler to come in. Btw, the car ran suprisingly well open headers and no o2 sensor.

Other side of engine

I'll be using the stock H pipe for my wideband (will be added between cat and headers)
Also, my coworker was nice enough to let me drive his 911! was a blast, very different from an e30, but I think it is compareably awesome :). I think my car can take his porsche tho :)

And here's some videos : )


Havoc In The Streets!

Awesome transformation man love the progress keep it up.

[88SuperETABD]

It's mail time!
Driveshaft is out, going to be swapping csb's (having a vibration from 2k-3k in 1st and 2nd gear), going to change out the tranny seals as well.
And new hardware for my headers :)

[88SuperETABD]

Test fit, not bolted, cuz I have new bolts coming in the mail as well.



It's a tight fit, but clears everything! :) I'm excited.

[88SuperETABD]

So I know the o2 sensor needs to be added before the cat, and between 10 and 2 oclock up top, but here's my question and I searched but failed to find an answer,

So for these headers, for my m20, They come with a bung, but there is 2 collectors, and one o2 sensor...is it best to have an x pipe and drill the bung into that x so it reads from all 6 cyllinders(How BMW did it) rather than 3. I contacted topspeed and waiting for them to get back to me with the answer, if its okay to just do it in one collector, which do i put it in? Front or back 3 cylinders? Does it matter?

I'll be piecing together my exhaust, got Scorpion Oval catback coming in the mail,re using my high flow magnaflow cat (lessthan 5k miles), and these headers.

[88SuperETABD]

Yeah. I've gotten the eBay ones prior to this, this one looks to be much better quality, shame is that the shop only had the front roundel, so i have an yellowish one from ebay as well. I agree, they do look bad ass at first, then look worse and worse.
