Repaint/Alpha-n/and more... E30 CONTENT

[uofom3]

My friend just finished installing/tuning his full alpha-n and holy hell does it sound amazing. The sound it makes alone is enough to put a smile on anyones face.

No kidding! I figure with the schricks and the 2.5 it should sound pretty good!

@mariano - I think a guy is selling them on s14.net right now!

So today was not as productive as I wanted, but some progress was made.

Went down a local parts house and picked up my air temp sensor for the A/n - I now have all the components that I need.

I then rolled the car out for the first time in a while. Started with trying to sort out the last wiring problem for the A/n. Ultimately - I think that I'm going to trailer the car to a local shop and have them fix this last wiring setup. I can do basic crimping - but this particular wire is going to need someone with better skills than I have. I figure someone who has a lot of electrical knowledge can sort this out in no time at all.


Nextly - after removing everything from the brake master cylinder, I then began installing in the 25mm MC. With that said - here is a quick comparison of the two.



I then began painting the bracket for throttle cables.. the paint has a minor imperfection so I have since sanded it down/stripped/ and reprimed to shoot it again tomorrow... i think it will look cool against the all black background.


I then had a hell of a problem with my strut bar.... long story short it prompted me to go pick up this:


And finally... I was able to test fit the box - they look so sexy in the engine bay!


Friday or saturday I will be going back to work on it. My friend works in sheet metal fab and is going to make me a nasty bracket for my PS and Brake fluid reseviors. To go along with that I am going to pick up a PS/BF resevior setup from summit or other company in brushed al. or stainless just to look better in the engine bay.

This project could take a LONG time as everytime I go a step deeper it's just one more thing that I want to change/update... regardless it's fun! More to come by the end of the weekend...

ZOMG HOT

lol that was a terrible paint job on the braket,
but i forgive you because you made for it with cool factor.
laser engraved ///m logo = cool
CARBON FUH RAZE box = cool
new paint = cool
Dremel 400 = cool

fuck i need a dremel :(

keep up the good work mate!!!
loving it!

[uofom3]

Thanks bro! The paint on the bracket was TITS, and then I got like overly anxious and put it top side down and had a bit peel off and dimple... it looks much better now!

[E30Driv3R]

looks good man props!

[nefarious7907]

schweeet!!

[mikeedler]

very nice, I am hoping to maybe next year pick one up, Its been a dream of mine for a long time now too.
looking good. did you get the other brake line for your master cyl.? I had change on of mine, cause the orig. M3 one was larger to one of the threadings.

cant wait to see it repainted.

C/F airboxes on S14s give me boners. I'm not joking.
