Good progress!

Mmmmm-Tech 1...drool. And with so many toys to put on it!

[HennaE30]

So I had a play this weekend with my new toolbox!

Toyo Proxies T1R 205 55 R15
MTEC Gold coated brake discs F + R
EBC Greenstuff pads F + R







Carrier bolts were SO tight, I had to do this:



Very corroded rear discs:











And after bedding in:



(gold coating only stays on the area without pad contact to prevent corrosion.) Got some stuff ordered today to take the calipers off for a clean and a coat of some satin black next weekend which should smarten them up a lot!

Car feels a lot better to drive, had a little run in for 15-20 miles to be cautious, tyres have mixed reviews but I've had them several times before on my 106 Rallye and was very happy!

Cant wait to get all the suspension on now to complete the handling package!

Cheeky hole in the center resonator has also ‘ forced’ me to book the car in for a full custom stainless set of pipes! Cant wait for a little extra rasp although I won’t be going ridiculous.

ONWARDS!

I wish my tool box was that clean have fun with the new toys

Nice detailing job. The finish depth is great.

Skip the M badges though.

^^ agreed.

Hell yeah, man. Screw what everybody else says!

Hey man it's your ride not mine. I guess yours is acceptable cuz it's M-Tech :P I just hate people who put M badge on 328s or similar. Lol the worst I saw was a guy who put an M badge on his Civic, that was bad... Lol I've also seen them on Mercedes

Yeah cant be everyones wet dream!

I still like to think i can get away with it on an M-tech car but a civic might be taking it too far..........!

Sorry to disappoint guys but I love my M badges, they are the correct size for the car if that helps - not aftermarket ones that are too big!

Do the hella smiley ones fit on an early e30?

Not sure if someone already said it, but yeah they do.

You need the whole assembly from a later model. high and low + the plastic support frame. But they are compatible, i got that setup in my euro84.

really nice car, congrats.
