Well Red is now going to be going through the Beautification phase......then I will be giving her 1 more heart transplant.....

She is slated for the body shop and interior shop next month.....
or around spring break........

I like the Alpina front, hides the FMIC very nicely.

1 more heart transplant? Whats going in? Boosted V8?
And are you going to sell the current set-up?

Cant wait to see the new motor :buttrock

Are you not restricting air flow into the IC with all those grills?

Otherwise looks nice.

Actually no restiction in airflow to the FMIC...it is very very
efficient still....

still working on it.......all the parts are in now it will be sent to the
machine shop to be Bp'd and Bal'ced...and semi assenbled.....

Don't know if it's the picture or the setting, but the paint looks slightly oxidized. I'd expect the red to be alot deeper and richer....

Nice Nice looking Good :clap:

why is there a missing light?

a combination of both....

you know how red fades after a few years in the florida sun
it was paintedback in 99

Nice :) but wouldn't you rather have your ram-air somewhere else, like on top of the hood or something? now it looks like one of your lights is broken... and does the ram air add much power?

I do have a naca duct on the hood....that cools the intake manifold and fuel rail.......I also have 2 vents that release hot air
from the engine bay.......a cool motor is an efficient motor

this feeds directly into the turbo the turbo sits about 12" away..
and it is not always about adding power......but yes it has a positive affect on the turbo and in turn makes it more efficient...and keeps it cool

a cool intake manifold +an efficient turbo + a good intercooler=
optimal power and good running motor

Lookin good, I love the dish on those rims, especially in the back. It's great that you have the power to back up the good looks.:clap:

Looks good Pat,
Rich

can you show me a pic of the ram intake?

Thanks
Mark

The front bumper looks kinda weird without the plate.

275 in the rear on the E34 chassis is as wide as I should go on 18's...as she squats she will tear the tires up...even with rolled fenders
