The finished product (so far)




Since these pictures, I have blacked out all the chrome on the car, replaced the hood (the clear coat was pealing), ordered HIDs, did some body work to take care of some of the little rust it had. Now i am just waiting for the damn snow to melt.

Looks like a picture BMW themselves would take. looks sexy

Well done, sir!

[Lrutts]

I am not against it, I've always ran around the idea of just getting all that stuff off ebay and seeing what I could come up with.

Still a clean install, regardless of the parts.

Well the Kit I got was very solid

I guess its a bit of a hit and miss with ebay stuff, I have heard of ebay stuff braking right away and then there is me and my 2 other friends in edmonton with ebay kits in our e30's, and we all have had good luck, my friend had a 2.8 stroker and ran the ebay kit for 4 years until he sold the car.

Nice, you should post a detailed list of the engine/turbo setup.

btw, what did you do with the old headers? :)

I traded the headers for a LSD 3.73
