There are several vendors who supply Vinyl Lettering and Numbers for race cars. I'd encourage you to check out the ones that advertize with Grassroots Motorsports since they support the race scene. Not sure if these guys are on that list since I don't have my latest copy of Grassroots Motorsports in front of me, but:

There are many companies out there, just search the intraweb......

Thanks for any info guys.
IDA refers to downdraft individual throttle body carburator. A stock 48 IDA is ideal to run even on an otherwise stock 13b or 12a, or built motor. There are many ways to modify a 48 IDA... 48 stands for 48mm.

Thanks for the comments guys! I try to keep them clean and simple. . .looking to trade in the E30M3 for a RX7 though, hopefully straight trade to save hassle of selling.

The E30 makes an AWESOME daily driver though, decent gas milage, fun to drive, and cheap and easy to repair.

The M3 is a 4cyl S14 engine code, 2.3litre with individual throttle bodies pumping out 200hp. The EVO version America never saw came with a 2.5litre version with a bit more power. . .

Only action shot I have saved on my laptop.
