    First time in a while since the E30s were inside together (garage whore pics)

    As the title states, thought it'd be nice to take a few pics.

    The 325i is getting some quarter panel work after one of my dads employees backed into it with the company truck. It will be my winter car/DD once fixed while the alpine M50 car sleeps/gets some work done. The turbo M42 car is behind them.



    Tools and workstation.



    Some spare heads and parts awaiting my M50 car. The cabinets have all sorts of spare goodies too.



    Rear shots





    And here is the rest of the shop. Approx. 10,000sq. ft. total for making various aluminum tube products.



    Thanks for viewing my shanty of a garage. :p

                    Similar, but not the same. That one is a Recaro SRD in confetti cloth and will be a passenger seat. The driver's seat is in the car and is a Recaro SPD Seat. Thanks and here are some pics from a while back.

                    Dude I have a line on a really nice used SPG that I was considering picking up, but I just bought the SRD before the seller decided he wanted to sell it! It was the same guy I bought the SPD from. I think he was asking around $550 so let me find his info and pass it along to you.

                      That is a really well thought out and efficient turbo setup. Nicely done. what does the powerband look like? Is that water to air?

                        Thanks and yes it is. The tank for the water is in the spare tire well with a marine application bilge bump for getting the water there. The lines run under the car and there is also a heat exchanger up front.

                        I have been meaning to get some dynos for quite some time, but have just been slacking as its not a top priority. It's very driveable around town, starts to build boost around 2800rpm and makes full boost around 3500-3700rpm.

                          Just noticed your not running the usual coil on plug setup. What are the coils off?
