American's don't like going around corners so I can't see how they can critique...

HB mate

Thanks everyone for the comments, for the first time in weeks I actually like my E30 Fridays off uni today, so will be spent; - Pulling my 4th rear subframe in about 4 months - Painting my calipers - Taking apart the front subframe and rebuilding it, and the struts.

If it was easy, everyone would do it. That is my Dads favourite saying to me when I muck something up.

^ Think I will keep my rangi home made as holesawed job for the mo, wont be long till I break another one

- Race Series Spec (ish) Koni Adjustiable Rear Shocks to match my Fronts, thanks to Paul from Interpart (#14). - E36 Clear Side Indicators, awaiting a custom mount to hide the holes in the body, thanks to Jason (SIRE30). - Brass Sleeve for the knuckle on the gearbox for my Z3 Short Shift, thanks to Jason again. - Long awaited caliper photos that have been attacked with a angle grinder to get the Borbet Rep's to fit, will be painted the same blue as my valve cover - Small selection of other things to put on the car this weekend as well as the urethane mounted rear subframe. And one more photo just for kicks (with some little Hubcentric rings, thanks to Jono (Zenetti) for sorting me out with those) Think that's enough updating for the moment, time to get cracking Comments are welcome

- Fusion 5.25's for the rear, soon to be mated with Fusion 4's for the front in OEM covers. - Stole some carpet off some 6 x 9 speaker boxes and put two panels by the rear seat to cover a small rip on one side in the vinyl, looks so OEM - One side of the car with no more rubbing calipers on the new wheels. - Now the Piste De Resistance, my new ignition coil, mainly made to take the piss, Red Bull is my #1 vice and I copied it out of a magazine I saw - Colorcoded Mirrors, Eyelids, thanks to Nick (Nick021) and Tech1 Wing piece all nearly ready for fitting to the car. - Broken foglight to fix - Silver tinted orange bulbs awaiting my clear front indicators. - Painted headlight rings, awaiting a new pair of high beams though

Right time for a update, have been ultra busy at uni consuming my life, but have slowly been making progress and picking bits up I need as I go along, just need a couple solid weekends at it and a little more funds and the car will be finished to my liking (for the moment ). Deadline is the end of this month to have it done, my lovely GF is sick of being a garage wife Prepare for a sh*t load of pics, haven't bumped this in a while, purists close your eyes 56K OH NO!!!!1111!!! - Dash Mat, thanks to Luke (Boost Junky) - Recovered Drivers Seat in original black vinyl, amazing job, recommend these guys to anyone: Allcar Car Upholstery. Can't even tell which panels are the new ones. - Schedule A rated Fire Extinguisher, bolted to the floor in front of the drivers seat. - New center console and handbrake console thanks to Ian (Hartage) along with a new rear ashtray and battery holder for the boot. - Suede Shifter Boot and Handbrake Boot with 'M' color stitching. - Noltec Blue Urethane Spring Pads for the rear. - Red Tinted Tailights, not bad for my first attempt, sides are now more blood orange than full red. - Completed center console with headunit stolen out of our Subaru Legacy - Painted Valve Cover with Sanded back BMW and lines, in my favourite color. - Completed Airbox - Rust repair still going, and the rear arches still to start.

God I lust over iS lips, wonder how easy it would be to throw one of these on a PFL

Looks good Jimmy, glad I can say I helped provide funds for this beast

I love a good Q-ship. Looks good

Proud as Luke

Badass.

Tick tock goes the clock. I can feel my life passing me by Just jokes man! Eagerly awaiting this, give me some inspiration to finish mine.

^ Saw a Silver GT3 yesterday with Neon Green wheels was sick as. Also spotted my car in the garage with some bimmersport stickers on it lookin sexy on the jack stands aha

^ It is the driveshaft hanger bearing mount, it sits half way down the driveshaft and the boot splits and it clunks. And or check your rear subframe bushes and your diff mount bush at the back of the car.

Fixed.

Just round the corner from my house too, good to see the BMW driver escaped essentially unharmed.

That is all. Subscribed.

Slightly offtopic but I brought some of these for my new e30: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E30-E36...sQ5fAccessories I will post some pics up when they get here to see how good they look. Should be amazing to match my suede wheel. Man if I didn't love my JDM/Nismo/Buttplug shifter so much I would be all over one of those M Knob's haha.

I have sorted the interior stuff while shopping at Ian's but will be definitely keen on the lights when funds roll in

Prefer to have a matching pair, anyone in Wellington with some? Or I will have to look further afield. Need them urgently. For a E30 of course. Thanks, Nathan

^ I would check the carrier bolts that bolt to the strut, IIRC you just painted your calipers so make sure you torque them up to factory settings, even use some threadlock, I have had the same problem too.

That'd ruin your day. Sorry to hear that Ashkan.

^ It is real rust....
