Gus 5 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 here she is...since andy putting pics up thought i may as well too....pretty shitty pics and car aint that clean...but the motto of this car is "it'll do" for those of you who don't know, my old 87 motorsport was written off by a young lady...ended up getting insurance back and buying the wreck , so i put all my bits in a 4 door kitted auto 325i. mod list pre FL engine, on FL engine management cam (lumpy....dunno what it is) headers (rangi, but work, and will not be there one day) bigger exhaust valves (apparently) headers go into single 2.5" exhaust (needed to get made up because old RD one doesnt fit the facelift rear valance) e30zone.co.uk chip on the way, 900rpm idle, 6900rpm redline maybe zone Big Bore throttle body too, still undecided. 5spd now 3.64 LSD z3 m coupe short shift, with gus special recipe shift stiffening urethane engine and transmission mounts urethane subframe bilstein sport shocks blue springs (....pass) front and rear strut braces (front carbon fibre overlaid ) all new (ish) pads/disc front and rear braided stainless lines all new fluids (everything) mtech 2 door kit smoked front, side indicators possibly smoked rears too personalised plate (came with car, would prefer JUNGL3 but...) shadolined (pics show before was finished) sports seats black leather spraypainted black headliner (you know it) black rear parcel shelf map light rear view mirror de high stop brake light leather knob/gear knob gaiter Bel RX65 radar detector hardwired through blower vent sony HU front 5 1/4 infinity coaxial but hooked up to crossover and tweeter in mirror panel, soon to be covered by the premium tweeter panel (i know this is rangi, needs to do something about it) rear 6" coaxial pioneers pioneer 12" sub, sony amp for rear speakers and sub rewired a lotta sound system sh*t, total thing took about 2 weeks to get driveable (with ohakune in the middle) and another week or so to get all the little probs sorted out...been an interesting little project...hopefully wont have to muck round with it much more, and can just enjoy driving it and i got a badass aluminium trolley jack, damn i love this thing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted July 17, 2005 I love how the shore boys have a complete inability to get the entire car into the frame, must be something to do with the inbreeding.

m325i 711 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 Looking mean. IMO i prefer 2 door, but its unique. I also vote de-spoiler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dnz 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 Nah, keep the spoiler, downforce downforce I think it makes the back look more 'complete'.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 i prefer 2 door look too, but 4 door more practical..i use my car a lot i love my mtech 2 spoiler...running the mtech 1, kinda cool being a little less obvious...but i love my big wing wil smoke rears eventually..not too fussed! maplight mirror came from my motorsport..having trouble hooking it up though, so am letting it sit till i can be bothered playing with electrics will do some interior pics when there some decent light...the shadowlining is pretty rangi...i was running out of patience to do it nicely, but it looks good enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
