I know.

Yay another DIY vinyl wrapper! I did my MINI a few years back. Incredibly painful and frustrating but also super rewarding.

Ya ya. It's been a painstaking project hence why its still in the process. Though I'm stoked on how well it's turning out. I can't wait to see it all done cause just the little amount I have wrapped so far is 100x better then the guy that painted it before me.

[10-66kruk]

Yay here is a little update for those of you who are interested. The car is progressing.
I'm getting very excited that the project list is diminishing.
So got one side of vinyl 90% done just have gas door left and pillars.
Now only have the drivers side to wrap and bumpers!!
So for today I finally tackled my ie sways.
Man talk about difference. Shit the car is like glued to the damn road.It's AWESOME!

I'll update a little more tomorrow.
Enjoy guys.

[10-66kruk]

Ya I'm getting stoked only one side left really an it will be all done.
Ya she has been a trooper helping me out and damn good at helping with the vinyl also!
Hopefully have finished pics very shortly.
The door use to pop when i first had it. I didn't even remember that till you brought it up. Wow.
Hopefully will get a full under car shot soon too.

[10-66kruk]

Okay so just a two more pics for today.
I forgot, I also added something else that I'm going to let you guys guess.
Also there is just a pic of how low the car is, and I was shocked at how low the front sway bar sits...

[bzboardz]

how you like the ie bars, thinking about getting some
what size you have?

[10-66kruk]

Lol Henry, Im not to sure exactly which ones they are. I think they are the 22 & 25mm bars.
They are stiff as fuck i have to work to get the car to break free ;-)
Also I have a slight request for people that might live in Europe area.
I have been trying to get in contact with a company EMC RACING, I am trying to buy a set of fenders they make for my Alfa though their email does not work.

Also their mobile number is 07887-846098
I just have no way to get in contact with them.
Thanks guys

What the heck. All these e30's literally 2 minutes away from my work. Thats right behind OC Burger right?

[10-66kruk]

Ya ya.
We Gots a whole gang.
Plus every thursday night at 10 we have a meet here.
It's pretty cool you should come.

So I decided to do a compression test today..
Cylinder 1 -150
Cylinder 2- 150
Cylinder 3- 150
Cylinder 4 -150
Cylinder 5- 140
Cylinder 6- 150
I was pretty pleased.
Now what should a 2.7 i be at on average? I know its a lower comp. motor, but is the 150 range good?
Anyways that all for now.
