I posted a 3d printed request in the last video? (E39 phone slot replacement) I have a second request for you to 3d print. Not sure how big you can go? I want a 4" turbo inlet that holds a flat filter to fit behind a e36/e46 top mount.

Welcome back. Taking timeout with a few months of downtime does the world of good. Let's you get more jobs done without being slowed down with film making (which good to replenish finances). More importantly it does you good, you can tell to look at your face. You look more relaxed, recharged and fresh. You actually look far less stressed and tired, more youthful. Maybe the annual end of year break from here on?

Great you're back Chris. I was planning to send you a message about what's up. Me, I'm still waiting for a normal price for 6 index 12 injectors. But instead of going down in price they went up to $450 each, because of inflation they say at the dealership. Have a great weekend, Dutch regards, Nico.
