Lol i was only asking...I bought some 17's anyway...as seen on my other thread...so like...convo over

Makes sence its Vynal - its still in really good condition. No matter, still looks / feels great!

And I got the parcel tray from Barvarian motors - it was a special request, he'd only ever seen one with no speaker holes...and thats the one. Cant remember what it came from...I just cant stand speakers in the parcel tray...

Thanks for the comments guys, putting alot of effort into this project. As for the parcel tray, I aucutally bought it with no speaker holes, but it was some horrible faded green colour and quite dirty. After a good clean / dry, I dyed it over a few days - it still maintains its fluffyness too.

And I didnt get my seats redone, that's genuine BMW leather from a M325 - Threw away my old stuff.

And yeah I think i'll leave the TSW's on the wheels - looks quite nice.

Yeah, I love them. They're Silver / Polished - not chrome. Still dont know weather to leave the TSW there or put some BMW logos there.

Well, its been a few months since i've shown anyone what i've been doing, so here are a few shots.

I'll start with the interior - its still a work in progress, and I have only completed the back end of the interior - i'm still working on a custom console with a 7" touch screen in it, and a mini ATX in the glove box.

Here are the photos!

Here is before:

And here is now:

Here is after:

And here are the wheels that I have recently bought.

Overall:

So overall, i'm really happy with the project. I have:

Blacked the headlining

Replaced all of the interior including carpet

Switched to Electric Windows

and I need to:

Get caps for the electrics

Get tints redone (booked in on monday)

Finish centre console

Replace rails on Seats

repair dashboard / replace it

Repaint / some pannel

I'm in the middle of reblacking alot of the outside and inside of the car too, using this awesome blacking dye.

So that's it for now!

I did mine myself in my E30 with 2 cans of black vynal dye...looks really good, took me 2 hours, and cost me $25. Did parcel tray, sun visors too. forutnately my pillars were already black.

Hyper. I got all my equipment from Hyper. Luke is the guy I was dealing with - really good guy. they do the mean packages too. I got Tints, Wheels, and the best alarm they can install, saved quite a bit. Depending on how the car sits on these new wheels after a few weeks, i'm going to try and go slightly lower in the front.

But yeah, big ups to Hyper.

TSW Kayalamis arent they ?

Yes, got myself a set of TSW's. Very very nice. I'll post pics once the car has been cleaned and the tints have been redone.

Sold - Tidy 5 hundy.

Thanks

On a side note my new wheels look freakin amazing.

On a side note, is that a US spec E30? Bumper looks different. Took me about 20 minutes to aucutally see the car, though.

Happy Birthday!

You're lucky, I didnt get a HB thread last month!

17"

Prefer the cash as I dont drink at the moment

Hey Guys,

Looks like I have got myself a set of TSW's similar to Hybrid's...so getting rid of my current ones. You can see them in my signature, or more on www.ipwnyou.co.nz (all other parts of the car are out of date on that site ). I wont lie, they are curbed on the left hand side pretty well - but with a bit of effort and a file, you an smooth them out no issues. They're not terrible, but its there. They also might need either repolishing (as they are polished) or powdercoating - but either way they could be nice wheels. The tyres on them are less than 6 months old, and have heeeaps of tread left - being a 316 we dont exactly wheel spin - its hard enough trying to get them to move at all!

Not looking for too much - PM what you think you would pay for them.

Thanks

I didnt see it in person...I saw it as in the office site...lol

Make me a 4 door pannel set $$$

Haha that bad boy cost me too much to sell again

Maybe after I sort out a proper kit

Yeah getting paid too much

Buy mine.

I may have found some that would aucutally compliment the BMW look (which is what I am trying to achive). I'll fit them and see what it sits / looks like, otherwise I might just get the 17" version.

Do I need to flare or modify wheel well or is it just not plausable?

Non-M3...Boring.

Yeah I saw this a few months back - the guy aucutally has a 345i badge on his car lol. I have my 318iT badge ready

ipwnyou, I swear your plans keep changing!

turbo it

Hah my plans always change. But i've already started on this project, so no turning back!

Next is swapping the wheels over for 5 studders and geting me some nice M3 wheels.

If you want performance you're best to go all the way...even picking the right car. BMW arent really in it for performance, unless you're willing to pay big money, or just converting the car into some jap crap turbo anyway - which defeats the purpose of the BMW.

I'm in the middle of rebuilding / reconditioning an M10 1.8 and getting ready to install a turbo. Looking at about a 90hp boost with a bolt on turbo, small intercooler and no injector modifications, running at about 10lb of boost. These engines are nuts, nice with the cam chain ;D

I know there is plenty of room under the bonnet of the E30 for it - you could probably fit a few in there aucutally. The M10 engine sits a little lower than the M40 engine (intake manifold is designed differently). Not sure about the E36 though - but who wants an E36? Turbo E36's are old news.
