    Yes they run them forward because shorties run into the firewall and steering shaft and longtubes hit the shaft also. Still havent seen anyone try block huggers but there exensive and i havent seen a cheap cl set so i havent tried.

      If only I had a tig, I would probably try to design something for Stuart and then put them on the market for all the e30 5.0 guys.

        This is why I ask, I have tig, plasma cutter, mig, you name it. I'll see what I can come up with after my car is up and running. I need to get it done sooner than later so it will start with the shorties backwards, but as soon as I have the funds for tubing and bends, I'll probably figure something out.

        Going to go ahead and get the e30v8 mounts to save myself the headache. It will double purpose because anything I make, I can duplicate since most run those mounts.

          I would bet that block huggers would work. I've been looking for some too

            You could probably pair up with e30v8 if you design the headers and have them advertised/sold on their site. I'm sure he wouldnt mind doing that.

              That WOULD be quite nice. If you end up making something, take a few pictures and post 'em - I'd be interested if the price was right.

              ~ALSO~

              I was gonna say that it would also be nice if massive hadn't stopped making/selling their booster delete kit. Well, it looks like they're making/selling them again!

                Fantastic! I've wondered why they haven't, it's a simple kit so the profit per setup seems like it would make them a lot.

                  Well when I spoke with Lee yesterday (ended up snatching a kit up) he made it sound like while he doesn't plan on stopping sales of the delete kit, it's not exactly a hot item. As such, he stocks his shelf, lets them sell out, then makes/orders more. He said sometimes this can take a few months, but judging from the quality appearance of the products, I'm OK with this.

                    I noticed that the white 5.0 e30 with the big turbo had, what appeared to be, a brake booster in the stock placement. I didn't realize you could fit one there. I was wondering what you thought of it.
