    New Guy, New track toy.

    I'm a new member here, not new to the car or fabbing scene. Here is a couple pictures of the build up on my previous track 240.





    Here's the new track toy, picked up this 90 325is a few months ago.

    I started working on it last night. I fitted the IE race hood and fiberglass decklid last night.

    It's sitting on a set of IE3's. I also have a set of ITB's laying around, need to get an extra intake manifold to fab those up. I'm keeping this car alittle more simple than my 240. Just going to do bushings, sways, header, exhaust and weight reduction. I'll start on the cage in a week or two.

    you might get some shit for the front valence, but judging from the 240 it looks like it'll be nice (if not be a show car) and fast when you're done.

          Thanks. I'm going to keep the motor alittle more simple than the 240 was. ITB's, Header, Cam, rockers, and sometime before the end of summer I'll do one of the IE 3.0 or 3.1 strokers.

            The 240 isn't finished.

            I'm using a couple sets of bike throttles, off a CBR1000. I have a new megasquirt setup ready to go on once I finish up the itb's.

                I got the bumper, hood and decklid from Ary at Eurostop. Great guy to deal with. It's an Av3 bumper I believe, but he only had this one laying around.

                      I will, I'll get started on them once I get a spare i intake manifold to chop up.

                      I like to take pictures, so that should work out. I have over 1000 pictures of the 240 build ups.

                        Welcome to R3V. That bumper kinda looks like an altered e36 m3 kit. GL with the project. Keep us updated.

                          Nice looks pretty cool. I can't wait to see the finish product.

                            I like the "splitter", but then the gigantic holes to let the air just pass right over the top of the "splitter".
