          yes.... much better on throttle responds and 5500++ rpm (max. 7100rpm)
          before using shield, its flat after 4800rpm..
          after using shield, I felt another pull on 5500++

              Sprayed the headliner black. It was too far gone to clean. Came out nice with the black interrior.

                Replaced the starter on the M30 WITHOUT removing the intake manifold.... what a PITA. Should have solved the heatsoak issues I was having with the old one.

                Engine turns over much faster now. :)

                    What you use to spray the headliner? And did you pull it or spray it in the car?

                      Used the r3v forums on the fog diy process and helped out my buddy install and splice his angle eyes on his e36 m3.

                        I changed the transmission fluid and transfer case and Damn both fluids where darker than a cave at midnight.

                            Got my alpina 157 trunk spoiler painted, along with the rear valance. It doesn't completely match, which is expected when you compare 26yr old paint vs fresh new. Can't afford a respray right now, but it looks really good. Will mount IS skirts later this evening.

                              Nice looks real clean. BTW does the holes line up perfectly with the alpina spoiler with the stock is holes?

                                Thank you! The alpina157 spoiler mounted perfectly and exactly where the factory drill holes for the IS trunk spoiler.
