What manifold are you using? Click to expand...

can you provide more info on the reinforcement kit you are using and why the change to the E36 rear diff cover (Stronger, better cooling, etc)? Click to expand...

Have you though of upgrading your axles Click to expand...

I spot a 2JZ in the background with a healthy looking snail! What shop is doing the work? Click to expand...

Hey guys!Thanks for the interest! Sorry I haven't been around too much -- got side tracked after I posted this yesterday.Let me answer your questions --The Manifold is a full Tubular Manifold custom built. It's all tig welded etc. It's really nice looking. More pics soon when I get them from the shop. As you can see it even leaves room for a bigger turbo than is there. And Just FYI -- They Jigged it and test fit it on an E46 M3It fits.The kit is the defacto Solution for the M Coupe -- Randy Forbes designed and Engineered it. It's basically a replacement for the trunk floor where the rear end tears away and ties it into the strut towers. The E36 Diff Cover is because the factory M Coupe Diff Cover is single eared, so it's a lot more prone to breaking. They did it for exhaust clearance because it's the same rear end as the E36. So since i'm replacing the exhaust, I can go to the stronger 2 ear design.It's on the list of possible failure points. Because this is such a parts bin car we're having to research where drag E30's / E36's / E46's fail at various power levels and for different parts. It's proving to be a fun information accumulation challenge. The shop is helping me out here as well, trying to do this right the first time and just take care of all the weak spots right off the bat.Heh, I wondered who would catch that. That's a Mk4 with a GT4788. It's really pretty. FSR Motorsport Creations is doing the work. They built my 3000GT when I had it and I've been super happy with the quality of their work and their integrity. They build some crazy Japaneses & Domestic cars, then get in their BMW's and go home, so I figured they would be interested in a project like this and they definitely were heh.Thanks for the Wheel Suggestions guys. I'm hearing lots of love for CCW's. I really think I want 18's and the second Lip on CCW18's multipiece wheels bugs me. Maybe I'll get over it, it just looks weird that the barrel comes in an inch, because they use the same face for 17's and 18's.Hope that clears up some of the questions! I'd love to hear more feedback! =)
