hey man... nice m-tech spoiler... nice car... welcome!!
I dimly recall the hubbub on one of the 'other' E30 boards about yer iS-lip replacement thing ( i dig it, personally)
Like they say: if 'necessity' is the mother of invention, then 'perfection' is the mortal enemy of good enough...
words to live by, if you work on your car yourself.

how's the nitrous? fun?
-
The nitrous is more of a show off thing but it gets the job done. Let's just say an M42 powered e30 isnt supposed to go 144ish mph...Oh and yes it's fun pulling up to Ricers and purging the nitrous on them at stoplights and seeing their eyes widen and jaws drop before they get raped.

Pics of your NOS setup?
-
Got anymore side shots of the car? Are those Toyo Proxes 4 tires on your car? If so, how do you find them in the dry and wet :).
-
they look a lot like proxes 4's. I have them on some black bbs 215/40/17. these things have amazing dry traction as w/ any high performance tire, but in rain they are frickin sweet! I mean, i can get sideways if i really WANT to, but i have to conscienciously push it to break loose. i make fairly quick maneuvers as well as very high speed lane changes in heavy rain and they will hold their own. i have to say that i have barely hydro-planed at all, and that was only during lane changes hitting built up rain in between lanes. definite recommend for all-season high-performance tire. if i don't go straight summer high-performance for the next set of rubbers, then i will definietly either give these another run or check into pirelli
-
Ill get some pics of the setup after I redo the lines and wiring, oh and yeah those tires are toyo Proxes4's but i have some Hankook K106's on now and they are not that bad at all but kind of noisy. The Proxes4's are a really good tire for all weather and they grip really good and their traction characteristics are balanced but they just wore out on me way too fast.
-
They sound like a good all-season tire. How long did they last you B2?
-
Well judging by the amount of brakestands and open drift sessions plus daily driving, they stood the test of time to the tune of 7months. My dad has them on his G35 and they have lasted him about more than a year.

Was there a noticable difference when you added the crank scraper?
