Buy a section of assembled line of roughly the correct length at NAPA and bend it up yourself with brake tubing bender pliers. They had the right stuff for my E30's rear brake lines so they'll probably...

Don't spend $135 on that, search "carbon fiber catch can" on ebay and sort by lowest price. I bet the same thing is available for a lot cheaper since mishimoto is just chinabay stuff with a...

Just talk to him, don't be a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles about it and vandalize a car....

That blasted then clear coated look is really nice.

Yeah without results from a stock car on the same dyno it's hard to tell what the result means, what it will show is the difference in delivery between NA and turbo. If you're putting an aftermarket rail...

I have a smaller cam and injectors (272 and 60lb/630cc) and I could never get the car to idle nicely around stoich, that should tell you something about trying to idle at 14.5:1 with a bigger cam and...

300whp NA in an E30 sounds amazing. How high will that engine rev? The ATI damper hints at some 8,000rpm action. I was initially building my wagon's bottom end for an 8,000rpm future, mimicking Nisse...

I don't know, but it's a fun excise vs talking about buying the most ordinary ferrari (360s don't even seem make it into the exotics section at palm beach cars and coffee ). Swapping an E30 or...

My gen 2 E30/E34 M50 turbo manifold seems to be of good quality like my M20 manifold is, but the wastegate pipe routing... That's definitely going to be "good and tight" as he says. There will...

I'm curious, how much does that built, dry sumped, 9,000rpm stroker S65 cost? 35k GPB is $44,000. I see S65s for US $6,000+, VAC dry sump kit $7,500, that's where I stopped searching but I'm willing to...
