Lucan 196 Report post Posted February 23, 2014 Naice, the interior contrast looks good! Rear blind is different, I knew you could get them and have seen them on trademe but never in an actual car...yours came factory? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah the blind is factory, nice tidy unit that retracts down into a recess. If anyone is interested in these weaves, they are for sale. PM me for details Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted March 1, 2014 its the wierd sh*t available for the E30 that add to why they so cool! And its a good job you live so far away from me or i would be tracking you down for a test fit/fap of those Borbets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tidy30 38 Report post Posted March 1, 2014 Ohhhhhhhh man definitely sell your returned weaves and keep those A's. The blind thing is pretty nifty! I'm not sure from the images but is it transparent enough to have up while driving? This was your big pre-facelift to facelift conversion car right? Hard to imagine how much work would've gone into her to get her looking like a facelift. May I ask why you did it instead of looking around for a good cond facelift? It would be arguably better simply based on vehicle age. Semi taking the piss but don't tell me you kept with this one and converted it due to the blind!

Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted March 1, 2014 Where the heck did you manage to get those A's anyway! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk they were for sale in auckland some guy had them on his honda, painted matt black... two needed professional straightening and they have been blasted and painted with a 2 pak system. Not polished on the lip like the originals but the cost to do that was just too much. They are the original item though, not reps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk ha ha no sorry the title meant a manual box from an '86 e30 into an'88. It meant the CSB and pilot bearing were different. Its a getrag 240, 1st is pretty short and in 5th it sits just over 2000 rpm so really driveable in top gear. I definately recommed the manual conversion, the car is so much more alive and tactile, somehow you can feel the driveline working but in that precise bmw way. blah blah blah. I decided to convert this one because it had the msport suspension and the LSD already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
