E30 Zone

These came as a spare set on a car that i took in, had to share them with you all as they are beautiful!
They are a one off, never to be replicated!
Something DanThe should aspire to for definite!
We have identified both m42 and m52 manifold in them, there may be more!











I especially like the 'bung' for the lamda plugs in the manifold.
Lambda wires were cut so never ran them!

Wiring loom was fun too!!

Still better than Hottuning...

What Turd was this?!!

They came in the boot of the red 3i8is m52 track slag i am breaking that used to belong to half the zone that had driven over something very big and pushed front wheels up into front wheel tubs, been repaired and tracked.
The manifold came off another m52'd 318is in red that blew his engine so the car i have was reshelled into it.
The manifolds were done for that car, apparently somewhere in wales hence all the sheep poo for welds!
A complicated Ipswich boys swap/buy deal involving 2 cars that were identical and which confused the hell out of me as to which one i would end up with!
Manifolds could be yours......they can be made to fit an s14 and retain their good looks with it!!

Sexy manifold. Better than fitting a mod'd S50 item by the looks of it.

special indeed

alot of thinking went into these.

i know lets cut the end off an m42 fannimould and see if it fits

excellent out of box brainwave

We do have Turks old car but the manifolds where removed from another red m52 converted 318iS.

Well what can I say??

when I saw the title I thought "oh someone has made an m52 6 branch fit an m20" as there are very good-looking m5x 6 branches out there.

but no what are we greeted by?? An absolute abortion of a manifold!!!
I mean what sort of "engineer" dreams that type of thing up??

folk who think that type of scrap look's good need their tool's (& most definitely their welder) taking off them.

why do I get the feeling that if that was put up for sale the like's of Stevie would be breaking his neck to buy it??? Lol.

mind you, you could allways use it to prop the bog door open lol.

Originaly alans old car which never was 100% right with the m52 conversion , Never pulled right and electrics not right
He sold it to turk not running right with above issues
Even the last ad on ebay after hkf crashed it stated it was not pulling right
Thing needed ripping aout and starting all over again tbh

Alan/Turk/HKF's conversion is now in another e30 and it runs fine, all down to a simple speed sensor fault iirc

Alot of time and effort went into that mani I'd say.
You should put them on ebay, Could end up making a fortune
