Before you buy your Adel Wiggens clamps, check out the Vibrant Vanjen clamps. Cheaper and I like how they look better (plus they come plain, so you can powerdercoat them whatever color you want)

www.verociousmotorsports.com : the only place I shop for aluminum tubing, couplers, clamps, and anything else except for pure metal stock for making brackets, which I get at www.onlinemetals.com

^ Thanks for the compliments and suggestions.
Just came back from what will probably be the last drive till next spring.
Collin, I have already purchased the Wiggins clamps. I like how they look better than the other ones. I have been searching eBay for the past few months picking them up when they sell for cheap, definately not paying retail on those things

1. Intake
2. Intercooler
3. Front suspension
4. Front subframe
6. Oil pan
7. Turbos
Here are some pics.
Before
I did not take to many pics because there was not much to see.
I have to order some parts tomorrow and then play the waiting game.

This one is particulary intresting. I was shfting from third to fourth when all of a sudden the engine revs went up like crazy! Oops, I went to second
My instructer told me "In BMW world, that is what we call a money shift" My response was "why, because it usually costs a lot of money?" Gotta love rotarys. He wanted me to pit and check the car for problems. I just steped on the throttle, the car made boost and sounded fine. I stayed out and finished my session.

fiz-e... oh yea it is all because of your car
bubble tech... I did buy the mirrors, but I do not see a please in that post so no pics for you
It is a little annoying but with the subframe completely removed it is not so bad.

are they mounted on the door or the triangle part?
yeah, having the sub frame removed does help a lot but annoying doing it upside down
