Kameron re-sells the 30 dollar "carbon fiber" filter and air duct kits that you can buy in bulk from Alibaba. After failing to devise my own E30 intake, cramped up in the factory location with the factory AFM, ABS unit, and coolant reservoir, I bought the Kamotors intake. The best thing about it is that it fits the E30 engine bay, I don't trust it for filtration and the radii on the inside are dreadful for flow losses, but its pretty much all that exists besides the stock airbox. When coupled with your run of the mill AFM adapter, you are faced with an even worse transition which creates a lot of turbulence and flow losses that hurt your low end performance. I stand corrected, thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for a little better filter, spectre makes a couple inline filters ranging from 3-4 inch inlet/outlet smooth look or flat edge. Part numbers are 9831-9833. No shame plug I make custom intakes and buy silicone couplers in bulk off of alibaba, I have up to 3 inch tube bender and bead roller.

IIRC they run about $150 You mean a chinese intake from Alibaba that kamotors buys in bulk, puts his name on it and resells for A LOT more? aka I bought one off ebay (when I first bought my car) for more than half the cost that kamotors sells his for and compared them to someone who had his. Same shit. But don't tell Brian since kamotors is his boyfriend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I have a brand new KA Motors branded intake I'll sell for $35 ($5 extra since it has the sticker on it). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_love_cars Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 love it. 2 e36's both listed at 14k and both sellers needing to sell in order to buy a house in the same timeframe. I guess i shouldn't be surprised considering it's home-buying season. That white one looks like trash. Anything with a sticker on the front windshield that says "just drift it" is basically an automatic fail Earl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 That and the fact that he threw on over fenders but the wheels he has on would have easily fit under a stock bodied car lol i_love_cars and Bassboy3313 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Felony Form over fenders can look great if done right. It looks like they aren't even painted smh Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I have a few friends (not from Wicsonsin) with Felony Form cars and they can look really good. This is one of those examples where the person has a white car and thinks the gel coat is a good enough white to not even worry about painting them lol.

bk335 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/6047238498.html Do anybody know anything about this e34? Apparently it's been for sale for a long time which is a red flag to me, my friend may go look at it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slid into a snow bank. see above. also looks like the nose panel is broken and possibly the fender is damaged 4)The 5-speed swap, e36 steering wheel, wheels, and paint condition are nice! conclusion - overpriced, but not by a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. The title is "in his sisters name" which is another huge reg flag to me. I'm trying to steer my buddy away, as sweet as a bagged e34 touring is.

If I had a son or daughter in high school I would say this would be a great project car, a lot of different repairs for him/her to learn on their own car. If you could get it for a reasonable price.

He can only have one car right now with his living situation so he would sell his f-body to accommodate the E34, not a smart choice IMO when he needs a somewhat reliable car to get to work everyday.

patsbimmer1 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 That touring might be a good deal at $4k considering the work that would have to be put in to make it "good" condition. Looks great! I've always loved those wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobZR Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I love a nice E34 touring, but this one looks like a polished turd. The red flag BS detector is in overdrive on this one. 240K on the body with a 110K? S52. maybe.... 97% rust free not... $6k not even close. hell I don't even think Calypso would be worth that, and it's 100% rust free. this one reminds me of the 1st Hellrot 540Ia I had after a year every panel was bubbling with rot.

Talk him down to $3500, felony form overfenders $500 esr wheels $500 raceland coilovers $200 poly diff / subframe bushings $100 csl wing $100 So $1500 in shit parts, and $2000 for a beat to shit E36. Seems fair.... That touring just looks awesome, and I totally want it, and seems about the same deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
