    I know! I've driven my old 318i that I recently sold for over a year, and It was a blast to drive.

          **UPDATE**

          Got my car back yesterday, and installed my Rieger lip, and smoked front turns. Pictures are on the cam, but lost the cord. I shouldn't even post, but I post just to keep things updated. Will borrow friends data cord and will have pics up tonight! Also going to swap my Ellipsoids from my '88 to this one tomorrow.

              Does anyone know how to properly install a rieger lip? It came with bolts, but I don't know where they'd go etc. I need some help figuring out how it is properly installed.

                  Drill holes in the lip and zip tie it? There are no holes in the lip.

                      Sweet, thanks!
                      How do you like auto X-ing your car? I've never done it, and want to do it sooner or later.

                          Also, are these headers stock? It seems as if they are SS and would produce RED HOT heat. Could I just heat wrap these if they are hot headers, or is it better to just get stock ones? I didn't put these on btw.

                              **UPDATE**

                              Got new exhaust today. High flow cat into Magnaflow muffler. All 2.5 inch I believe. Sounds soo nice now. Oh yeah today as in yesterday. Car has been acting up on start up from cold, so going to be addressing this tomorrow. Working on getting a suspension set up and I think I'm going to take it to my first auto-x. I really want to try one out. Things are moving along nicely.
