Just considering a swap to AlphaN and carbonfibre airbox. Has anyone made a box specifically for converted e30's?

There are some in Germany mark but they are big big money from what I recall.

You could change the master cylinder to a smaller one as it has the 22mm vw one but could compromise some breaking.

. I got one off John @ s14 power and if fits perfect with loads of space between it and the inner arch, you will need to get smaller servo and master cylinder tho

John quoted me 1500 euro for an s54,which is a fair price, for an aftermarket carbon intake, but was not clear on it being specifically modded to drop straight into an e30 with s54 lump. I replied positivley but asked for confimation it was modded for an e30 as im not paying 1500 euro and taking a saw to it to make it fit. No reply as of yet and no pic,s of one in an e30.

Shame as I'd get one if I knew it would fit, or even if it just had dimension so I could check...

If I find a spare 1400 yoyos, I'll be able to test fit an S54 one in an E30 and E36 soon.


Love that engine bay Barry! Just perfection!
