Thanks guys.

I have fitted the clear repeaters to the front now and once I find some silver-Orange bulbs I’ll take some more photo’s, would also like to show off my cleaned up interior.

Really happy with the results, it’s nice to finally have the whole thing looking mint, the tear in the seats, non M-tech front fixed up look great and rear bumper that had been glassed to fix where a tow ball once was is perfect.

Has a few dents and stone chips but I don’t want to repaint any of the body preferring to keep it original.

Needs more power and some Viagra.

It’s just a Carbon fibre pod enclosure, contact Simota for details, I think Jono and M&T direct (forum sponsor) can provide Simota.

Would still need more, a late model 180kw SR20DET would be perfect power and wouldnt sound and run like an ol car.

Cheers guys, went and got some of those silver smoked repeater bulbs to eliminate the egg look on the fronts but it didn’t work.

Dyno-Day.

Ran the old girl on the dyno to see how its mixtures were, it went really well considering the engine has been to the moon and back and is stock bar the Extractors.

Bar the Ferrari 360-F1 Spider that was there, the old Touring was my favourite sounding car, was so nice on cam.

Well after two Saturdays working on the old girl I thought id go for a drive to Taupo to check out Powercruise....got as far as drury and the E30's water pump died... Steamy steamy.

So I just learnt how to replace a diff, next weekend I'll learn how to do a water pump, its not a car its an education.

Should have this sign in my Garage, sums up the amount of time my E30 spends driving.

+1, The only thing I haven't had to do is replace the fuel tank, pull out the rear sub-frame and put an engine back together.

It is all fun and games. Least you don't have something newer and can't fix everything on it, thats the beauty of a E30. Still looks awesome broken down on the side of the road :rolleyes:

I've done it all, Except I've never replaced a fuel pump.

Everything else you could think of, I have removed/replaced.

Cool photo anyways lol. Should probably do your timing belt and tensioner while your there?

Also, newer cars are easy to work on, well I find them easyer.
