After a first weekend test drive of my car.

wow. i remember te early stages. its come a hell of a long way. and it looks great.

Sounds like my turbo m20 when I had 195/60 Ohstu tires..... With 225 RS2s...it is much better. Get some sticky 235s on that monster.

You should be able to fit 245/40/17's in the back. Should lower the gearing advantage as well.

Thing sounds like a monster!

Were having a dyno day this april 7th. You should come. It is a hike for you though.

Car looks great. What car did your motor come out of?

[NC325iC]

[MikeK]

chrome wheels are for hoopties

So are roller paint jobs :(

[euroshark]

lol, you guys don't know shit! Roller paint jobs are the new... something... If you take your time it will come out as good as a spray job, and cost you a small fraction of what a spray job costs.

His roller paint-jobbed hooptie is cooler than your E36 without a doubt, way way cooler.

Hey thanks!


I dont care if it's a roller paint job. You can't tell it's been rollered from far away AND close inspection. I put countless hours into it and put it side by side against an alpine white bimmer, you can't tell the difference.

I won't make it to dyno day on the 7th. I'm going to be out of town until the 8th. Bummer.

The engine came from an '89 735i it's an E32. Stock internals, so I can't boost it too much. I'm almost afraid to intercool it.

+1. I don't see anything wrong with the quality from the pics that have been posted in his other thread. At least he's doing something different, and doing it himself, which is what its supposed to be about.

For every one that posts negative comments on his paintjob, there are several that can appreciate the work he's put into it.

The M30 internals are incredibly strong, you should be able to push 15psi through it on stock parts with no problems! TCD has a kit that can push 15psi+ and its all on stock internals! 400rwp no problem 8)

..waaaaat... food for thought :)

roller paint jobs are cool. i did one to my 84 318i last winter, cept i put NO effort into finish, didnt even bother to wash the car.

[nando]

sounds mean! your car has definitely come a long way, it definitely looked like a beater/parts car for a long time. I'm sure the roller job isn't perfect but it looks pretty good from here.

too bad they aren't chrome, eh?
