You could always call a local shop that specializes in diesel trucks and big rigs, I’m fairly positive they’d have a 3.5 inch piece of tube to sell. Probably stainless too. You could also give a Schorr Metals a try in Placentia.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Motor/trans mounts have been replaced. Guibo/CSB is solid. Clutch is about 65%. Am I missing something?

Diff bushing has been replaced also.

So does anyone fancy a drive Saturday night?

I'll be up for drive, provided my appointment with the BAR goes well on Thursday!

Sorry, I can't do this Saturday. I may go on the upcoming morning drive on May 5th though~
Good luck!

Got a small issue that I need your input on guys.
I have a 3.5" MAF on my 24v, coming from the elbow to an air filter. The thing is, I also have a Castro airbox I'd like to install and I cant find a 3.5" piece of piping that a muffler shop sells to extend one more inch into the box.

My second problem is the filter, the one I have on there doesn't fit and it hits the ABS mudule or protrudes out from the top (cone filter). So what are my options, has anyone done something similar? I can only find 3" piping from local muffler shops too, if you have a lead lmk, any help is appreciated.

Stop looking at muffler shops. Plus, you don't need steel tubing for this.

Buy this:

Amazon, Summit Racing, Pep Boys, etc.

Summit Racing has a nice catalog that lets you search filters (like K&N) by size, length, width, etc. Measure the room you have and try to find something that fits.

Or, just leave the stock MAF. :)

As an employee of a former muffler shop//now chassis reinforcements shop, I am HIGHLY DISTRAUGHT by the lack of faith you have in my business to supply E30 owners with valuable services. In fact, just a few weeks ago, I cut and welded 2man's front struts for his coilovers!

Nvm, piping has been acquired. Thanks Chilezen.

You're welcome.


Btw Matt, I sent an email to bimmerheads about a 24v issue I am having. Let me know if I should send that email again. :)

Hey guys! Been awhile since I have posted on r3vlimited. Came for the bay area, moved to socal 3 years ago. Names Patrick!

Anyways, I am in need of the Pillar trim cover for the sedan e30. Anyone have one or know who has one. Hoping to find before the CAtuned openhouse. Ordering new is a 2-4week wait.

cheers!

There's a guy out of the city of Wilmington, if you're interested I'll put you in contact. PM me and I'll shoot his number.

Hey if I have an early model, and I want to use a late model radiator and coolant res, all I have to change is the water pump and associated hoses, right?

[2mAn]

Yes, but why?

[Chilezen]

To prep the cooling system for the 24v swap.

I have a Brand New mishimoto radiator (late model size) and expansion tank for sale.

Pm me if you’re interested.
