    Does anyone know if the RD headers will clear a 4hp22 auto tranny? If so, I'll join the GB. Thanks

        Frank... please give us a real update. what the heck is going on?
        Got tired of waiting. picked these up (h/t to e30m3s54urbo)
        they look like the E34s @nando installed on his m20 some years back.

        I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s

        HOWTOs:
        DB vert plastic bumpers
        OEM Keys
        MTech1 docs

        88 ix Lach/Card
        91 ic Calypso 3.1
        86 Cosmo 2.7

        OEM+ or bust!


        reelizmpro: I will always be an e30 guy.. I still do all of my own labor
        TrentW: There's just something so right about a well-built M20 in an E30
        e30m3s54turbo: I save my money for tuner parts.

          We may have a new idea to get the group buy completed, but won't give any details until if/when it comes to fruition.

                ha. they're definitely original ANSA, but I'm fairly certain they're not the E30 version - check this earlier post from on this thread:

                As you can see from the picture, because the original headers had a doughnut style coupler that allows for some angular mis-alignment the flanges are held together tightly by the spring force.
                Here's another shot of the ones I picked up - note the difference between both, especially the left header.

                So they're most likely E34, and I'll need to modify the oil filter mounting to use them. also not willing to do a Nando and just flip the oil filter mounting flange - I'm keeping AC.

                Then again maybe the E30 versions required the oil filter to be moved too.

                  Posting to help others avoid confusion about E30 vs E34 header designs

                  this post earlier points to a strictlyeta.net page that explains the difference between the E30 and E34 RD snake header designs.

                  RD E34 M20 headers (collectors aimed back, interfere with E30 firewall, require modification)


                  RD E30 M20 headers (collectors aimed down - the group buy design)

                    UPDATE - seems like this is the OLD group buy thread.
                    There's another thread - check the THIRD POST on first page for info: https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=237043

                      I sent messages to both of you. Brad did not waste anytime. I see the differences on headers. Hartge did the same on e30 H35 and e23 H7,e24 H6,e28 H5

                          Don’t forget that Frank has been teasing along this gb for years prior to “officially” kicking it off again this year...

                            I picked up Brads old set of RD headers so I'm officially out of this.
