Ya, I got a helluva deal. Of course I'm the bastard step child no matter which forum I join. All of you guys have e30s so I have to glean what I can.

And bmwman91, dude, I'm the one who's jealous.

I thought about moving the airbox to the other side. The PO had started it over there I assume because he had eventual designs on a turbo. The ducting is the plastic stuff from Pep Boys. I'm hoping that the mirror polish will reflect the heat but we'll have to wait and see.

Simpsons did it. (South Park reference)

Very good looking engine compartment, but that metal intake tube might pick up a little heat from the radiator.

Like I said above, it's the chorme plated plastic stuff you can get at pep boys. I was hoping the chome would reflect the heat and plastic is a great insulator. I'm more concerned about the length than anything else. I may have to play with moving things around. I can always wrap it with the foil bubble wrap. I have a ton of that stuff from other projects.

I�m sure a O2 with a M42 is even more hot
I�d like one of those later

This might be a strong possiblity for next season.

I have a sheer, break, CNC mill, and CNC lathe available to me, so if you need anything cut out, let me know. I could also make those COP brackets for you bmwman91 if you like.

With this thing the loud noise of cone filter will be more quiet? My K&N cone filter is too loud for my taste:confused:

Yeah I can do that. I need to make a mock-up first as this one has no provisions for the brake lines coming out of the ABS unit. Of course, I could always send this to you and have you play with it lol. I will look into making a D-size DXF tonight.

Did you ever, Mock one up ? I would love to plot one, full size, and see if it will work.
