      Pretty cool stuff.

      Any other product plans? I vote M20 ITB's that aren't 3,000 or crappy, lol.

          Just installed euro coolant res (same part as e30s)....what's the benefit of the AR design one?

                Would be cheaper to adapt other ones. 2002 guys do it all the time.

                That's kinda pointless. It needs to be the highest point in the system to be worthwhile, so basically the same spot as the one you're showing in Andrew's E30.

                    Lots of guys use motorcycle throttles. A few have done it here on r3v, that's the route I'd go.

                    Yup, and Critter, it's a HUGE PITA to install. I really like how it's self bleeding, but goddamn was there a lot of work involved.

                      buy some TBs, make some drawings in cad, send it to a shop, have them CNC an adaptor plate for you, profit.

                        That part is super easy. Getting the cable routing, fuel, airbox, and afm or maf to work properly is a different story.

                          If i remember right, you don't even need an adapter for certain bike throttles. Search r3v.

                              Yeah... You forget I have a manifold, turbo and downpipe taking up that area. The passenger side is out of question. It's really the only place I have, and it's better than the plastic one ziptied in there right now.

                              As for advantages over euro... Looks cleaner (Not necesarilly this one, it was made from scratched up ugly material), I'm sure it holds more 5"x7"x9" and it's not plastic.
