kingkarl 136 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Holy crap! This whole project is almost looking more factory than a regular m20 E30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1039 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Cheers Riley, atleast you got to see it before your off. 3 years later on my part! haha haha thanks .. that was the plan, to keep it looking clean and tastefully modded. Not finished yet it the looks department. In the mean time, some photos of incoming parts. Simota 89mm neck and 130mm air filter .. anything bigger I don’t think will fit. Thing I like about these filters is they withstand engine heat and have a life time guarantee. This one will sit inside a cold air box once its fabricated up. (and anodised black ) and a close up of the new centers for the new wheels They really do look 3d, the red isn’t a bright red its more a ruby colour which is awesome!

Forrest 35 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 I feel slightly special/proud that I have the same air filter as this car....about the only thing I have in common with this level of badassery. Keep up the awesome work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep up the awesome work. haha, to tell you the truth its all just been research. And wading through the differences between american and euro differences. Hell, even difference between pre-face lift and facelift and the the guys in the US always quoting face lift in most cases. As for the simota filters, they are an awesome product. Sweet will text. Sounds good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 More 'parts' so to speak... 245/40zR18 rears And the ever important fluids. They don't seem to stock redline 10w60 in this country *rolls eyes* So Castrol 10w60 edge sport it is. Gear box is a secret blend of 11 herbs and spices .. for gearbox chatter (from the lightened flywheel) nahhhh its just Redline 75W140 ns and MT-90 added to taste. Some coolant Some Castrol Dot4 and the saraficial lamb in yellow (4 liters of $40 engine flush oil before the good stuff goes in) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Seems all 92+ engines need cats This is one issue that effects me. And I dont like the idea of putting $1200 worth of cats on to an already $2700 exhaust system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Have you spoken to a certifier yet??? Mark Stokes has been recommended to me by a couple of people. 0274522276. I think, if you can convince them that ya car wasn't fitted, with or designed for, a cat, then you might be all good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
