This looks like its gonna be a sweet build!

So I spent hours trying to get the stock headers to work. In the end they just won't fit so I've gone ahead a bought these.



It sucks because when i first built my motor i had these shorty mustang headers (as they are cheap) but i got so pissed off with them coming loose at the collector that when i got my new full length headers I binned the old ones =(

So these will come in 2 weeks, meanwhile I'll have to occupy myself on some other smaller things i need done.

I see you have most bases covered ... what's your plan on the lectrics? I see the msd box but what about tying the bmw stuff into the power plant?

[drift e302]

being a carby motor there is about 10-20 wires needed. So its just a matter of finding the matching wires in the bmw harness and job done. Nothing to specky as its just a drift car. =)

More happy snaps!

Loving my new found ability to weld =) only learnt it from this build!

Flowmaster block huggers, these had a horrible mount so they had to go!




Lengthened header number 1




Muffler positioning, later decided to tuck it up a bit more
