Mattzy = is painting is car atm/choosn colors Turbo e30 = not the v12 turbo one with the outrageous body bods? like 700hp????? on e30tech???

ditto

+ 1 for ///Moneypit

Electric or manual window?

What size are they Jon?

Still my favourite e30 ever..even if it isn't done yet

^ Thanks Si. Should have some pics by Wed, hopefully get the wheels fitted by then.

That motor is sex, im seriously impressed.

Looks mint, need to be gunmetal like these tho for me to them

I just need to drive mine at full noise in the dark, fuel pump whirring with those glowing orange cluster dials to make me love it everytime..serious as. I have had a blown water pump and thats it in 3 years. Im hooked for good. Don't sell it Graham, if owning e30's was easy, everyone would do it and spend $$$ at them.

^ Ive seen the TM one round wellington, I would still hit it, I would get black wheels like the link Sam posted to smooth out the in your face color

^ Hardout man, I am dreaming off eating alive some bigger displacement weapons. And yeah deadlines are a funny thing, was sposed to have this done by new years, but just got hooked and spent more and more and more money haha. Originally just wanted to replace the shocks, put bottlecaps on and do a rear disc conversion....now look where it has got me hahahahaha

We arn't buying a car in Waiouru are we to replace the 540 Ian???? Just putting it out there...haha

Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments, Sam, I love the color more and more now, have only ever seen 2 other e30's with it. And yeah it doesn't look too bad for a car worth a couple coke cans when I started. And Luke ^ should be within the next month to have it 100% done, but when I have deadlines they usually get obliterated so I am not going to hold my breath. Have my first track day in May I think, that'l really show how well it goes.

Hey, good to see some more ladies joining BS

WIN Dish just needs another polish and they are good to go.

Who cares about wanking over how much displacement its got, and because its a smaller motor the owner shouldn't care, its the price you put on how much you care about your car.

Car is back up on jacks today for some repairs + replacements. Lip is being replaced next weekend after the v8 supercars (thanks Blair). Am learning how to replace a camshaft after the above weekend too. My diff output shafts seem to be leaking where they bolt to the drive shafts with the allen key bolts, can I gasket this? Also the bolts seem to be vibrating loose, thread lock???? or can I put a nut on the otherside to lock it in, any advice for this is appreciated as it is slightly worrying and is burning diff oil off the exhaust. Made a slight modification to my exhaust to stop it rubbing on the rear valence with some welding wire to keep the tension on it (backyard as I love it). Got my tyres on thursday after my spin, spending the day preping the rest of the wheels for paint and tyre fitting. In a slight tangent, went for a good thrash over Paekakriki Hill in the car on Friday, goes sooooooo much better than it used to, actually has some real pace, had been waiting for that day since I started back in August. Makes the $6k I have put into it worth every cent. Till next time, (with some pictures), Nathan

I reckon it all looks sick, apart from the work badges on the back

HB Man

OT, but is your car light blue metallic (sorry don't know e36 colors) ???

^ Haha yes I heard they are 'fun' in the rain. Just can't wait for the 3 - 4 sec deduction of laptimes at Manfield

In a way I'm glad I spun this makes interesting reading Better than the usual 'cops' threads

^ Yeah up in Grenada is always busy, when I was waiting to get back on the road there were heaps of cars and trucks going by, was very lucky not to have ended up a lot worse
