This car is awesome!

Apart from the gutless m40. Turbo it until it blows up!

I really like that hood. I bet your friend could make good money doing that for helmets

Thanks mate :)

You see the problem is that in Lithuania there are strict swap rules, where you cant increase your engine displacement and power by more than 30%, so i cant for instance swap an M50B25 in it, where as an M42 or an M50B20 is ok.
The problem is that i dont want to change the engine atm :D

I didnt dyno it yet...
If you want to turbo it, much better with m42.. IMO

M42 is high commission, where as M40 compression is lower, so it should be a pretty good candidate for a Turbo :)
Saw some Russians turbo it with Megasquirt and blow 1.2bar into it :D
More/less stock internals on it :)

Small update, got myself some new glass today :)



This will be much better than the rock shipped ones i have.
Also sold the BBS spoiler :/

Also im 50% done on my 5-lug swap :)
Front is done and rear is going to be done tomorrow.

Whoop whoop.

[Max399]

Update!
Got the wheels from the sandblaster :)
Still debating on the center color..
Lip is going to get polished for sure.



Also, finally a video of my car came out :)
This is how it looked during the summer ;)

[Max399]

Little update :)

The strut brace arrived, and it looks exactly like the picture i posted before :)
Apparently it's an Eibach strut brace, even thought it does not have any info written on it.

Ok so onto the original update, got some new wheels :)
These are R.O.D R15x7.5J ET13, apparently they are a copy of Roundell 0058.
Well who cares copy or not, but they are solid, straight and will look awesome.

Here's the current look:



The previous owner apperently decided that green is a perfect color to paint the whole rim into (Lip and center) and hell it was ugly.
I did try to use pain stripper on them, but in the end said f*ck it and gave them to away to have them sandblasted ;D

Current plan is to polish the lip, prime the center and i really do not know a good color for the center.. I did buy red plasti dip to try it on the center.

Any better options? I need help to decide :D

Oh, forgot to mention, best parts about the wheels - all 4 of them was only 40 Eur ;D

Max.

[Max399]

Whoop whoop :)
Christmas presents :)
Also got new handbrake cables and new brake lines.
Rotors are like new, but i think i will sandblast and paint the calipers.

Also today made an impulse-buy, got myself a front strut brace :)
Looks sometihng like this:



Photo is not mine, but i will add some photos when i have it on my hands :)

Max.

[Max399]

Thank you ;)
The paint is original Diamant Schwarz Metallic, and it's code is 181.

While im at here, might aswell do an update :)

So the current state of the car is that is in ugly winter mode
So i'm just collecting parts for after-winter updates :)

Scored some nice BBS fiberglass-replica sideskirts :)





They need a little fixing, but fit absolutely awesome with the front Rieger lip :)
So these are sure going to be on the car :)

Got a new set of Taiwanese grilles, the quality is OK :)





And last, but not least - got this gem :p





Original E30 BBS Heckspoiler :) It is currently for sale, but if i dont sell it - it will be going on the car also ;)

Also today im getting 318ti rear trailing arms, all in preperation for 5-lug swap. Already have front 325 brakes and bearing. Just need time :)

Max.

Keep going. Good work. Great looking sedan.
I Like the paint. It's very very nice. Can you give me the paint code maybe?

[Max399]

Without this ugly headlight looks much better.

Ha, thanks :D
Which ones of them count as ugly? :)

LED? LED RGB? CCFL? Hella Black? :)
Had em all.
