My Alpine 4 door/5 speed

[jeenyus]

I have some new RWD e30 tie rods I've been looking to get rid of locally, but if you need them I'd be more than happy to swing you a deal. They are FEBI Bilstein. Also, if you ever get rid of your trunk lid, let me know.

Just picked up a dslr so I needed some non-potato pictures of the car so I snapped a few real quick. Really brings out the flaws. Oh well.

Passenger side 'is' skirt is on along with a new dent-less passenger fender. Planning on doing the drivers side this week since there will be some days where its not 95-100 degrees.

Not too much going on with the car. Installed the new icv as well as adding smoked front turns. Huge difference but still needs euro trim.




But I have started a nice parts dump. New ignition cylinder and keys, ignition switch, new is sideskirts to paint and mount and an is trunk spoiler. The spoiler is in DS metallic and its almost too pretty to paint over in alpine white lol.


Garagistic strut bar. Either getting polished or powder coated white



Coming up for me is to get my z3 1.9 rack swap started ( I have the hardware from Dungeon Motorsports on the way, just need tie rods), install my euro clock, ignition parts, paint and mount skirts and spoiler, then install the spark plugs wires and timing chain tensioner once it arrives. Then finally make another list of things to do.

Not much new going on. Did buy a new genuine OE ICV but still have to pick that up at the dealership (Trust me, don't have to pay full price on it :D)

Just going to leave a few recent pictures

Looking good, man! Seats look great in there. Jealous of how clean you keep your Alpineweiss! :up:

Thanks Foster! Its coming along nicely, still needs a lot more to clean it up

I like the interior swap upgrade

Yes, it was definitely much needed! I missed not having sports

Gave the interior a much needed change today. I had already removed the airbag wheel and put in a sport wheel, so I need the seats to match. Door cards were installed by the PO so all that is left is getting new black carpeting and of course a matching parcel shelf. Also put in charcoal 1 series floor mats out of my parents car, they replaced them rubbers so I went ahead and took them.

Rear seats are pretty much mint, passenger is good, but the drivers side is fairly ripped. I plan on having them reupholstered but I definitely couldn't wait to put them in anyway. I also like having rear headrests, a must for sedans.


Yuck

More yuck

More better


Floor mats

Just read the entire thread. Car looks great and wheels made a big difference IMO.

Keep after it.

Thanks!! :D

I'm actually already considering what wheels to pick up next so I can alternate sets lol

Haven't had a lot of time to do much with recently. Even with the upgrade to the m20 radiator, car seemed to running a little warm around town, but was perfectly fine on the highway. Main issue was it would start heating up if it was idling too long, so with summer approaching it wanted to change that so I installed a fan, clutch, and an m20 radiator shroud.



The bay is starting to look pretty good


Being in there made me realize how filthy it is. On the left is probably 24 years of dirt. The right is quick wipe with a towel after being sprayed with degreaser.


Also showing CCA pride now!

I think it looks really good man, keep up the good work and glad you got that idle bug all worked out

Thanks! I'm glad it was sorted in time for the good weather.

I dont get this obsession with having undersized tires. The car would look so much better with tires that actually fill the wheel well

I have a 205/45 on the front and a 215/40 on the rear. I not slammed/bagged or anything, but any thicker of a tire on a 16" and I'll be rubbing probably.

I like it how it is, as I think it sits nice. I'm not trying to go OEM+ on this car
