$250?

So i bought a few bits and bobs for my e30,

I have bought a replacement led bar for my obc,

I managed to source me another is lip! After regretfully selling mine in an effort to raise funds for this project! now i have the car i need the lip

I have my german flag badge for the front grille,

All i need this week is to get some duplicolour bumper coat and respray my grilles,

I am going to replace the back bumper when i get the torx key.

After these little bits it will be a few weeks till i have any new news,

Had to pay a few bills this week so rim painting is on hold for a few weeks.

Then it will be save save save for 205/45/16 falkens which works out to be $716 for a set of 4 ! :/

I will try flick my coupe for 1.5k-2k since i have the work van now,

That will pay for my adjusties! still got the cert to think about,

need 5mm spacers on front. rolled gaurds

and then we can think about a 5spd 260.

I want the visuals to be mostly done before i convert, project shall be done before my 21st in october,

Booking my tints voucher soon @ carfoile and i want to get some eurotips after i get a vtnz wof in may.

Slow progress but will be worth it!

Congrats on your sale andy,

was a tidy car mate !

Anything new coming along? Or is the money being used for practical reasons?

Hi,

yes the fairing is still for sale

Thank you

How much are you after mate? i have rectangle bar racks, is that compatible?

Is the fairing still for sale?

Hi guys,

Been very busy with work lately,

no major mods again but i have added some nice roof racks that i purchased from scott e30 last year,

And i have shown my support to the bimmer community and purchased a bimmersport sticker

I have slowly pushed aside some funds to paint all 4 bbs reps, so will try get them painted in the next few weeks !

I get my full licence back in May,

Have decided i will treat myself to a full bmw service at team mcmillan and get a vtnz wof.

But this is 2 months away

Will update when i can,

let me know what you think, like/dislike, ideas, im open

Brilliantrot?

how much for boot and bonnet,

what condition?

Looking good. Jealous of the steering wheel haha. Tow bar removal isn't as hard as it sounds. Takes about half an hour. Just make sure you get stock bumper mounts like dubman said.

Cheers mate, thinking of getting it releathered

And okay cheers might attempt it in a couple of weeks,

Il ask ray if he has stock mounts available

sometimes its an inverse-hex 10mm rather than the torx ones. but the inverse-hex 10mm will take out both types, provided the torx type bolt isn't rusted in tight etc

Im pretty sure theyre torx, i want just the allan key ones haha, way less of a stuff around. Need to get a torx bit from repco or somewhere?

My sedan looked nearly identical when I first got it.

SA, Delphin, blue leather, all the SA extras...Except manual.

Did you get ur leather rehupolstured in black?

Haha yeah i will get mine converted, read your thread like a milli times, lets hope mine looks like yours when its done haha so jealous of lpc

rear tow bar removal depends on how well it was fitted

t55 torx to remove rear bumper, then just normal sockets etc to remove tow bar bracket and support. remove your boot carpet and rubber bungs above the rear rails (where the tow bar support goes into the body)

Do you have spare OEM bumper mounts? When you remove the tow bar, you need the stock bumper mounts to re-attach he bumper.

also look at xxx/45/16 profiles for wheel, kumho has ku31? in similar sizing? just a thought

Jesus, sounds pretty hardcore, do you reckon its worth the hasstle? or should i just black out the tow bar and if any bastard rear ends me itl stop a lil impact haha,

And oh yeah i just checked my trademe watchlist, It is 205/45/16

I will have a look at kumho thanks mate! Only reason im looking at falken is apparently you can legally have more stretch according to tyre/wheel sizing guide, But il have a look at kumhos, I wouldnt mind saving a bit of coin to put towards my manual conversion

So not too much has been done to the e30.

My europlate look surrounds arrived, Look pretty sweet from affar

I swapped in some smiley lights, i prefer these, others may prefer ellipsods,

Have the yellow highbeam film on, as they came off my coupe. What do you guys reckon? keep or remove yellow film?

I put in clear indicators, fronts and sides

And i removed the rear brake light and replaced it with a 52 led light bar from ledworld.

I installed my tech II steering wheel, looks pretty sweet!

Next weekend i will probably be getting some spray paint, to repaint the plastic grilles including the chrome kidney grille.

Am taking my bbs reps up to the other halfs house to discuss paint with her stepfather and maybe see how much to colour code my bumpers, leaving the trim black though.

I have to remove the rear bumper as it has a bend in it and im swapping it with one from my coupe, Its starting to look pretty sad now!

I need to purchase a torx 50 - 55 for the bumper bolts and im thinking i will be removing the tow bar and selling it, Anyone know how easy/hard this is?

I am saving up for some 205/45/16 Falkens, They are about $180 a piece! but Can get more stretch from them.

That is all i can think of atm,

Will update you guys next week!

When you say "lay frame" what frame are we talking about?

Chassis almost sits on ground when bags are depressed, but not quite.

Sorry its a term associated by my mates with their minitrucks.

Unfortunately those sort of mods don't really increase it's value to that level I don't think.

Each to their own anyway, I guess theres always a buyer for this sort of thing.

I understand that, and yeah would nees a certain buyer but i know its had over double what hes asking for spent on it.

But cars are a slack investment unless theyre mint original condition classic/vintage

jammex super lowwering spring kit-$150

We grabbing the springs tomorrow bro, I think daniel may have texted you?

Hey guys,

Just wanted to put a post out on this car:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-563893144.htm

This is my girlfriends brothers car,

I have been there through out the whole build.

Shell: 1990 318i coupe

Engine: M20b25 from PFL - Stroked and Rebuilt to a 2.8l; less than 1000 kms maybe even less than 500kms on engine,

Uncracked dash,

Genuine Mtech II kit

M3 leather seats in excellent condition

Full airbag suspension

Angel eyes

basically brand new 18" rims and tyres, Gaurds have been flared so it can almost lay frame on 18s

Brand new paintjob, 2nd brand new paint its had in 2 years, Its an e46 m3 red apparently

Sounds nice with eurotips.

I personally would change the rims to bbs and replace tail lights to standards, Paint hood back to match rest of paint, Its a nice car and would be very reliable as almost everything has been rebuilt or reconditioned/ replaced.

Maybe ideal for the right person, but i know alot of you bimmer fans would have different opinions,

Just chucking this up for the bro as he doesnt really know too much about bmws to be honest.

Have a look

What suspension was it running,

That made it "too Low"

What springs was this running Bro? Was it on adjusties?

Sold.

Mods can delete this post

Bump!

APT is selling a set no centrecaps or tyres for $275,

Just putting it out there

Bump

$100 pickup will take this,

Will come with mtech Emblem when it has arrived

So tonight i have been buying a whole lot of crap for my e30 really.

German flag badge ( i really like these for some reason )

52 led rear brake light, the standard ones just dont do it for me

europlate look number plate surrounds

bbs centrecap stickers for the rims

Mtech emblem on way for tech I wheel which is getting replaced by the tech II

^^ got to love ebay

next week im ordering a new light bar for obc

looking good! keep it up!

Nothing in comparrison to the condition of yours! cheers for the support bro, il try update this regularly

Pretty clean looking e30 bro looks good!

Thanks mate! Hopefully i make the right mods to it, so i dont take away that classic look, but i also want that aggressive stance
