Melon's E30 Build.

Sounds like fun!! It's interesting I have had an S65 for so long I forget that 68-7400 RPM is very high for most cars.

and youre putting in the spinniest factory i6 in your next car too

m20 at 7400 will be nuts. Make sure to bang the limiter in the sound clip you post

Haha

I'm actually a little apprehensive spinning the engine that high, but I'll make sure you get a clip.

Thanks man, your build is coming along nicely as well.

I'm a little jelly of all those new interior pieces. I'm planning on using old items that I'll do my best to bring back to life.

8,000 RPM, yeah... yeah... ;)

From what I've read, around 7,000 RPM.

Refinished the air intake box.

Still have a few things left to finish up on the IHKS, and don't have more photos, but I'm almost done. Made templates for all the new foam.

100% Agree

I tried taking one mirror apart, and it ended up breaking, so I decided to go with black and no disassembly.
