Gonna get him a stainless steel exhaust for xmas, maybe a new air flow meter in the New Year. Also give him a good shine up as an extra.

Anyone else sad enough to get their E30 a festive prezzie?

On a much more mundane note, mine was to have had a new intake boot. Although Cotswold sent the right one according to their info, the existing boot turns out to be an earlier design and the two aren't interchangeable, so I've had to send it back :evil: It would have been nice to have cured the wonky idle before Christmas. Still, some carefully positioned and very tightly wound gaffer tape to cover the worst splits seems to have improved things quite a bit and will do until the replacement arrives. The entire exhaust system was replaced earlier this month (only the back box was brand new though), so I don't intend to spend any more until January at the earliest.

Maybe i should just treat my chromie to some quality time and tinkering to get things back on track a little, don't want her feeling unloved and forgotten about during the winter.
