That's a damn nice looking MA! Really gotta give the paint on my own one a bit of love after seeing this. Though I'm not so sure about giving up AC for a supercharger. Summers 'round where I live get brutal.

Also here's the filter I got, it's an AliExpress HKS replica which is SURPRISINGLY extremely well made, sturdy plastic and metal frame. I bought an original HKS filter element and put that in, ez 120 bucks less for the same filter I love basically.

That's the typical 16-valve sound. Any four banger with 16 valves has a certain point where it really starts to growl. Be it bike or car. ;)

Yeah but at least it's a better layout than the D14a4's vertical throttle body haha! Also yes I'm aware of that, they should be alright for 6000/8000 km but I always look at my engine bay so I would see it if it starts flaking! Need to make the tube a little longer and separate the air from the radiator after this. Sound wise it's already a lot better than stock, especially at 4600 rpm... for some reason it changes engine tone quite noticeably there

Clean looking engine bay, I like. But I didn't know that they made plastic intake manifolds for earlier D-Series. Interesting. And just a friendly warning about these HKS-style air filters - they tend to disintegrate and get sucked into the engine!

Really nice MA 😎 will be interested in the supercharger plans.. That's my dream mod.

YEAH I really wouldn't give up AC for ANYTHING lmao, especially here in Italy haha. Though he said it doesn't have it so it's a smart idea I guess! I never considered superchargers on my D14a8 cause I don't wanna make my mileage even worse than it is right now but it's a solid choice if properly tuned :D

Thanks man, Regarding the AC, I don't have it, so I won't be losing anything :D

Bearded MA and miot, amazing!!

Thanks! I primarily bought them for those foggy autumn morning commutes, but the look quickly grew on me. :D Also imported some yellow bulbs for them, and the light coming out of them looks freakin' amazing. Had quite a few BMW drivers mistake me for an E36 because of them, as well! xD
