Hey man, welcome to R3V.

Nice looking car, love the wheels. Delphin looks better with very light tint or none at all, seems you feel the same.

How are you liking that JVC deck? That is the Bluetooth one, correct? If so, are you using the bluetooth for music or just cell? Seems like a decent piece to me.

The valve cover is different. I am sure I would like it more if I saw it in person, but seeing white under the hood just seems so odd to me, I don't know. Nice work though!

All in all, looks like a winner! I bet your E36 buddies are just tripping..WTF, why is he driving one of those old things? because we know things, bruddah, we know things.

Welcome aboard!

welcome to r3v... btw nice car

[mdc]

thanks for the nice comments :)

the ACS replicas are nice indeed! when i saw them for sale, i was hesitant at first to put them on the e30 . . . but when i bought the rubber and had them mounted, all that changed! i like 'em

i live in alabang - it's like the suburbs of metro manila and is a residential area. definitely one of the better parts of manila - we have lots of sports cars in the village - that's always a good sign

the valve cover came out very nice! was thinking to go for the all black look but it would look too simple! it came out nice - so all is well. hopefully it doesn't peel off with time and heat

the JVC has no bluetooth. but it's an all in one player. DVD, VCD, TV, MP3, radio and iPOD player in one. i control the ipod using the headunit. my favorite part is the DVD player. i have one dvd with all MTVs - perfect for the women :) hahahaha


thanks again guys!

more pics to come - just ordered eyelids and will do the french light mod DIY soon :)

Hey MDC. Welcome over to R3V & congrats on your new E30

Long time no see over on DTMPower.net , ur E36 was/is nice . You still have it?

Wow, I'm impressed! I like those reps your rocking. If I may suggest, look into some spacers for the rear rims, it would fill the rear wheel wells out nicely. What's the plates behind your normal ones?

Nice car mate and welcome to r3v, Those arent 16s ACS Type 1 replicas the look more like type 3 reps

[threlevenguy]

looks good, but why a shift light?
