Update on my sweet Eta...

[MR 325]

I've been doing some work on the car and finally gave it its first wash today. It was getting kind of dark so the pictures pretty much blow but whatever.

Things I have done to the car since purchased:
-Timing belt & tensioner
-Water pump
-Thermostat
-Alternator belt
-Throttle cable
-Spark plugs
-Repainted trunklid
-Clay bar'd and polished roof
-Removed IE3's and Bilstein Sports
-Installed E30 M3 springs & Boge shocks
-Installed steelies with caps
-Remounted front US plate
-Gunk'd the engine bay
-Removed clogged cat & shitty muffler
-Installed badass ebay muffler
-Installed ebay chip
-Installed Hella H4 low beams
-Black cloth interior swap
-Installed speaker shelf [didn't have one]
-Swapped M-Tech 1 wheel for sport wheel
-Installed lighted window switches

I still need to change out the HVAC panel and install the radio I have sitting here. Also need to install the round door plugs in the front door panels and the knee bolster. All in all though, the car is coming along nicely. Oh ya, I still need to replace the diff aswell, it's pretty loud. I'm going to swap it for a 3.25 LSD. Still need to pick up some floormats too.

she cleaned up quite nicely, matt. just curious.. why take off all the "upgraded" parts? just cause its a daily driver?

[mspiegle]

Wow, that car looks CLEAN now. Nice!

[James Crivellone]

That is one very attractive, safe, practical, economical motorcar you have there.

Lookin' good! Very quick turnaround.

[MR 325]

Oh ya, and I adjusted the trunk lid and the latch so it actually fit correctly. [and painted the trunklid aswell]

LOL, +1.

It looks really nice; it has a very feng shui look of organization about it. And I really like euro bumpers. I'm wondering why you put an eBay chip and muffler on it though; it doesn't seem to go with the style you're going for, unless your planning on replacing them later?

And is that little red button on the console for the ejection seat? :p

The muffler is from my first E30 [3 years or so agoi] and I love the way it sounds. Looks like a Magnaflow and cost me nothing since I had it laying around. As far as a chip, I'm not paying those rediculous prices, it's just an Eta! A $30 chip will be just fine. :)

[wycoco]

it's just an Eta!

them is fightingwords. heh

oh btw, i really like how your sig is taken in the exact same position as your last e30.. pretty neat
