Welcome, your evo is pimp. Got much specs on it? Nice work buying a BMW you will learn so much on here. Good luck at drag wars. Nathan

Just get one of those electric superchargers...hahahahaha

Not much of an update. Just mainly, sway bars, wiring and rear seat and belts going in tonight. Then will be ready for a warrant on friday. Various pimp ass stickers have been ordered to raceify my car. Exhaust is getting fitted on Saturday morning, is 2.5 inch straight through with a flowmaster 'esque' muffler in the middle to a 3.5 inch muffler and tip. Should give a tad more torque and make all that 'power' sound even sweeter. Also mounting my fire extinguisher to drivers side seat rail and getting the dude who is welding my exhaust to reinforce my seat mount welds etc so my body doesn't fold up like origami if I crash on the track. Wheels will hopefully be sent Saturday/Sunday and here early next week, day or so to paint them and tidy up. Tyres will be in later next week, get them fitted next weekend then just to buy harnesses. Just need some info on mounting them without a cage, JiB, if you read this you will get a pm soon Am tossing up buying a strut brace off ebay, if anyone has one from race series etc, that would fit a 4cyl, let me know, will pay well, exchange rate is way to lame atm to be paying stupid amounts for a bar of metal. Pics to follow in due course. Then it will be done just in time for the Anzac cruise. Can't wait. Nathan

Definitely has a single car driveway on the fence line to go up to the garage. Just a deceptive picture. Retarded, none the less.

Looks good mate, needs the front valence straightened, a facelift lip put on it, the wheel centers black, window trim shadowlined and europlates. Personally, I wouldnt pay more than 2k, maybe a lil more with the wheels

The wait isn't that bad, I used to have to wait a month for pairs of running shoes from the US. Im sure a flywheel is alot easier to send. Guess thats what happens when you train 100km a week, they wear out fast lol. Customs are usually the worst, up to f**k all. BTW: Car is looking good, admire you quality of workmanship etc. Factory as.

It was in the performance car year book a few years ago. Nice wagon if sounds are your thing.

Um see my thread here: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....st&p=232696 Will be some pics of the painted bumpers there They are just gloss black, I guess if you want diamond schwartz ones, sand and spray with plastic adhesion primer then get some diamond schwartz made up
-
I primered and sanded mine with some 400 to 800 grit wet and dry, but im sure you could just spray on, maybe just wipe down with some meths/wax grease remover too
-
Or just buy K+N Bumper Trim Paint from Repco and paint them yourself, mine came out great (standard gloss black) Is like $17 a can and you only need one can.
-
Yup..everyone delete it if you got a pm

Haha all good bro. I will see if it passes or not first Im only worried about my rear shock mounts (they look like they are splitting but its just the way they were taken out of the moulds) and the wiring chilling all over the cabin, everything else should be sweet.
-
This is going to be so badass when its done. Can't wait
-
My mate got hook ups there I think. Keen to come with when I take it in maybe? Sort me out

A big f**k off plumbers wrench

Probably, but with my dad going in there for 4 cars year round they may let me off a bit since they know him pretty well. Where else would anyone recommend to take a e30 race car??
-
+1 for stilsons, used them on my strut caps. Meaty

I did mine myself, no dramas. Pretty easy to do.
