Apex 693 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Na, the bushes were from Autoline, Nolithane brand. They could be found for cheaper im guessing, I was just in a lazy mood that day. Cheers guys, she’s one nice wagon to drive now, not fast but rewarding if that makes sense. Will hopefully get a new front bumper, fix the rear one and have them freshly painted in the next couple of months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deane30 30 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) This is definitely one of my favourite e30's. Cloth or leather interior? Recaro? Edited February 25, 2009 by deane30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spottswoode Report post Posted February 25, 2009 It gets more attention than the Sri-T hahaha! I wont say what TTEETT means as it blasphemy on a BMW, im going to get some new plates when I have finished a few other bits and bobs. In 1995 they were famously banned for 12 months from the WRC for cheating by designing an illegal air restrictor that included both a bypass mechanism and spring loaded devices to conceal it from scrutineers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Looks awesome, I like it alot, its not so bad once the bills are behind you, its only hard at the time of spending I'm a little confused, you fitted a larger 325 throttle body? But did you not recently fit a 325 motor? Or were you still running the old throttle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Seats are cloth “Recaroâ€, driver’s seat has a few tears in it but the rest is mint, have been looking for a replacement but nothing has popped up in cloth for a 4 door/ Touring. I will have them redone in Pantera leather by Retro Vehicle enhancements at some stage as I want to recover without the Pleat lines. Fitted a 525i Motor and had to retain the 320i throttle body so that the intake pipe would fit, the 525i runs a different pipe. Spottswoode. That’s the one, have had a plethora of Toyota’s over the years, a limited edition (3/100) TTE Lexus IS200 Compressor being the reason for the plate. TTE is the German company that built the WRC and Le manse (s) cars for Toyota and they now run the Toyota F1 programme. Awesome company. And as they say in Motorsport, its only cheating if you get caught. Some info on them and their road product, my IS200 had the entire catalogue + more fitted a factory. http://www.tte.de/ Cheers guys.

bravo 35 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Graham, your Lexus was sold again in Nov 07, and currently wears the D0C1LE plate. Carjammywhammy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I know, it was an 01, I brought it in 03 for lots and lots then sold it in 06 for f**k all as by 06 every GE-Money customer in South Auckland had a Gaytezza and they were worth nothing I know the current owner, he was at a Dyno day I attended recently.

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Ahh I see, well the b25 throttle is quite a bit larger than the b20 one and that must surely be helping it along now. I dont know about you but I would consider the b25 a reasonably fast motor, sure it does not compare to most things that have a big hair dryer coming out the side, but they dont look anywhere NEAR as good as e30s and no way as good as your touring, I reckon its the best of both worlds.

Apex 693 Report post Posted May 24, 2009 Had both front and rear bumpers striped, straightened and re painted and seeming I have just done a contra deal on some tasty new Meguiars products so I thought id give her a clean and go on the drive Heath organized, will update this and give a review on a few new products from Meguiars. I used two coats of Mothers pure Carnauba wax this time. Thanks to Heath (DRTDVL) and his mate Ian with the 4kg mega awesomeness camera. Have also had my drivers side Recaro rebuilt and recovered and I fitted some rear head rests, Im happy everything is how it should be now and the only aesthetic upgrade to complete is the clear front and side repeaters.
