It's a vert tho.

It's an m20 tho.

fixed :P

[Cabriolet]

fixed :P

you need to drive my wife's car, once it's running. a fresh m20 in a brand new car is probably the best drive you will ever be in.

Is there a way to get the exhaust manifolds on without having to drop the mid pipe?

[mbonanni]

I want a tall shifter. Those are cool. Gutted interior or not. I feel like they would be a lot more comfortable to shift with.

Tall/long shifter with a short throw sounds like a perfect dd settup.

Eventually I am going for: http://www.akgmotorsport.com/catalog...e30%20Shifters

Closer to the steering wheel is real nice. I do agree that it kind of looks stupid though. And it may sound dumb, but it's a pretty big giveaway to an onlooker or a cop that the car is modded. Most plebians wouldn't bat an eyelash at my E30, but if you add a huge 7075 rod and big black knob in the middle of it (oh baby!), people may start asking questions.

Eric, if I was going for an oem+ look id love to stick with stock height, but I want my car to be super comfortable for me. I mean, I'd have to try a tall shifter first. I might even want to get a settup with a shorter throw and a longer/weighted knob.

Wheelhop, that akg one is sick. If it wasnt so pricey I'd buy it. I can't get myself to pay over $150-$200 for a shifter settup.

I need to learn everyones name. I know Eric, Spencer, Steven, Sina, Vivek. That's all. Lol

i installed the AKG one for a guy. it was build really damn well but there were 2 things that i hated. 1. it rolls side to side. no a smooth tilt. 2. the handle that comes with it was the like holding a dildo, felt cheap and shitty.

the stock uuc one comes up high enough for me. 1/2 taller than stock. and with a real knob on there it was plenty tall enough for tracking

Ill just just have to see what I like. My settup is pretty sloppy, so getting something new would be nice.

on a budget. get the garagistic delrin bushing. new foam in the knuckle and z3. it's 98% as good and like $100

[mbonanni]

I want something a little taller though. I read somewhere the m5 is short throw and prety tall? Iidk.

We will see how christmas treats me. Lol.

I have a lot of odds and ends I need to fix up on my car first. Do you still have that headunit Eric?
