My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

[88SuperETABD]

Small update, more to come. So far, I've only installed my little m-tech strip on the steering wheel. Got some M-tech flow in the car now :) It's all in the subtle details right?


Another thing I thought was really cool. My parking permit at school(SJSU) has a e30 vert on the back of the sticker.



What will come soon...iS lip/ryan g splitter. m50 injectors, adjustable cam gear for my 272 cam. And something kinda fun/stupid.

[88SuperETABD]

So, today was a nice day and had some time to work on my car. I still have to install my adjustable cam gear, m50 injectors, and replace my drivers side headlight lens. (I have it). My fog light is cracked too and plan on getting new lenses for those as well. And I need to adjust them so they sit nicer in there.
Here's what i did today :)
masked off my car to touch up my valence cuz there were hundreds of rock chips.



Looks loads better :)
Then finally got some protection :) ejknights skid plate

Painted my iS lip :)

Attached Ryan G Splitter

Then installed on car :) I LOVE IT!



I'm low, i ripped off my lip within 10 mins of installing it backing out of my driveway. Sucks. I gotta be super careful now.

Just repeat, low and slow. Haha.

I did some measuring. I have 23 1/8" from ground to fender up front, 22" in rear. From ground to iS lip= 3.5" and skid plate to ground = 2.5".

But I am HAPPPPPPYYYYY!!!!!

I will get some better pics of whole car soon after I wash it, its filthy right now.

They sell them on eBay. Its no more than $10.

Get it off Blunt here on r3v. He's got the best prices I know of.

Also, small update, I will be picking up a e46 center console/armrest tomorrow. Going to try to customize it to fit into my e30. It's been done before, hope to have success. Wish me luck! Also...any pointers are welcome :)

[88SuperETABD]

Went to pick-n-pull and picked up some things.
-sunroof guides (to fix sunroof)
-window lock button delete center console (2 holes only)
-grey carpet
-drivers side bumper shock
-some miscelaneous clips

I also started retrofitting my e46 console, I cut/grinded the armrest to fit, its currently sitting in my car, just not bolted down, but it fits and looks good!

I'll get some pics tomorrow. Starting a new job tomorrow :) Elephant racing. Pretty excited. More $ to spend on the e30 :)

Been super busy, and tired after work so haven't been doing much, but heres some pics. Also did some research on these m50 injectors. So in the application with a 3 bar regulator for m20's, these m50 injectors will actually put out 15.81lbs/hr (166cc/min). According to some calculators, these injectors will support about 181 hp at 80% duty cycle, if the BSFC is .42 that someone recomended. I believe these should help out with my engine, since i feel like I'm running lean, since my 2.7i/cam/m30afm/alpina chip. I found out that alpina used same stock injectors, but used a bigger fuel pressure regulator which means more fuel, so thats why it was able to achieve 210 peak hp. Maybe this weekend I'll install, and let you guys know how it feels (if at all noticeable). I also ordered 50 sq ft Fat Mat Rattle Trap (Like dynomat). Gonna lay it all on the trunk/interior when i swap the carpet into my car. I'll get some more pics then, but to hold you over, these are the ones I have so far.

Filling her up! :)

Grey dirty carpet.

All Cleaned up. Used laundry soap w/ stain fighter/hose/brush.

Will get pics of black carpet soon, Also got a new late model rear deck with the built in 3rd light (flush) and sprayed that black too. Used Duplicolor fabric/vynil spray, I sprayed a couple coats and brushed it. Its not hard and feels like I did before I painted it.
My new sticker :)

I really do now that my lip is 3.5" off the ground and my skid plate is 2.5"
And...my project. e46 console, Gonna paint it black, Also got a new black leather wrap for the armrest with red stitching :) I will also be painting my Recaro's from the brown to black with the same duplicolor. I'm really happy with the result of the carpet and wanna try on the seats. If it doesn't work, I'll live with it until I can afford to get them rewrapped with grey suede where the brown is. But I'm confident it will work!

[88SuperETABD]

So, past few days I've been trying to tackle this...takes forever, and I'm working full time now. So no time to work on the car :(. So, I sprayed my recaro's, this stuff works awesome!! Sprayed the carpet also, and with some rubbing/petting, they both feel like they aren't painted. Almost like they did before I painted, maybe in time. But anyways! Heres some pics!
First you gotta take everything out!


They were black at one point :)

After some paint :)

THrow a layer of Fat Mat's Rattle Trap Extreme (Knock Off dynomat, works just as well for 1/3 the price)

Then new carpet in :)

And thats where I stopped, I can't tell you how much of a pain in the *** this is. But the outcome is soooo nice! :) Well worth the total of 50$

Anyone know how to turn off the running lights when your headlights are on but still have the turn signals work? I've seen it on a DIY before but now i can't find it...please help haha.

m50 injectors will be going in after I finish dynomatting the rest of the car and put the interior/seats back together/in.

[drutt23]

Lookin good dude. Keep it up

[88SuperETABD]

Thanks, P.S. e46 console is on the back burner...stock console is back in, will get back to that after I finish other stuff.

[Nick_S]

Looks great man.

[fiveofeight55]

You had a 67 Camaro and liked it? Must not have had the original mono leaf springs on it.

[Pantless Spency]

Update, not too many pics because my hands were DIRTYY all the time.

But yesterday I tore down my brakes, rebuilt the calipers, painted them, put stainless brake lines, ceramic pads, New spark plugs (W8LCR), new distributor rotor/cap, and fuel filter.

Looks like I haven't updated this in a while. Since then, I've purchased a Miller MAF/W.A.R. Chip...and s50/s52 swap is out of the question now and replaced with turbo plans :)

Heres some pics, my car runs sooo much smoother with the new parts and STOPS!!!!
Painting the calipers

While the wheels were off I cleaned them nice and good with the power washer, scotch pad, and some wheel cleaner. Nice and clean!!

Calipers reinstalled...

Rear...

And back on the ground!!! Just noticed this was taking before I put my iS lip back on

A close up..
