colormatched security device.. i applaud you



the work you put in on this is always fun to look at. do you have your own lathe, welder, paint gun?

[Mr. Horsepower]

Fucking norway and your sick clean ass e30's! Yes i am yelling!

Why you don't build one "Norway spec" car then? :) Parts are cheap in US & A!

love the custom fab work. Where can i get one of those wheel decals? =)

Thanks man! Like to put a personal touch on things. Stickers are designed by me to fit the curving of the rims, and handed over to a friend that works with graphic designs. Idea is stolen from the internet ;)

Had to use the last drop of paint I had :) Glad you like the project, continue to watch this thread. I will post pictures more often if there is much interest of the thread.

In fact, I don't have anything... I have borrowed a ESAB Mig from a friend this winter, a lathe we have at work and a good friend of mine is a very talented CNC operator. Painting I have never tried unless it is a spray can :D

I can add that I autoX the car on monday and had the all over best results!! I had the 1 place in class two modified cars, first place in the best heat time and first place of all three classes compared to each other.
Behind me I had a Lotus Exige on semi-slicks and a Opel Speedster, there was also a EVO8 on semi-slicks. I run the car as it is on the street. 18" with crappy stretch and Toyo T1-R at front and Nankang rear.

Made this film this winter, mixed together with random clips I had from last year season :)

Some autoX prictures. Chrome kidneys suits the car well I think!











Doing changes to the brake fluid reservoir, going remote 2002 reservoir.
So a bracket needed to be made.
First I made a dummy in thin plate at home and took it to work and made it in thicker alloy. Bended in a vice with a wrench.



Going to be fixed like this



Then there needed to be nice finish on the bracket, instead of painting it black I went with the more tidy bling look to suit the strut bar

Very nice M3, Great work. It sounds unreal aswell

[Mr. Horsepower]

Long time no see! Since last time the car have been on the Nürburgring again and had some more upgrades.

Fitted Ground Control top mounts front and rear, these things are awesome!


On the jetty, waiting for the catamaran to Denmark. About 3am here!



In Denmark we went to a Zoo...so...I photographed the car



On our way to Köln i Germany, on the autobahn



In the land of the cars, they have 102 octane pump gas



In the parking under the hotel in Köln. Actually met up with a Canadian S14.net member here!



E30M3 owners drink Warsteiner beer



On the Nürburgring there was not less than two M3 GTS that day!



Scaffolding in the back



GF did a lap on the Nürburgring as well!

[Mr. Horsepower]

So, we had a photoshoot on my car and friends Escort Cosworth!

[Mr. Horsepower]

I got a set of BBS RS in 5x112 that I'm restoring! They will be sold when I'm done with them. Just a side project to earn some money.





Lips was toasted, so new lips had to be bought.





Blasted all the parts and delivered them for paint

[Mr. Horsepower]

And then I bumped into a set of BBS RC0090 I just had to buy. Started the job on them on saturday, and will continue this week. There is not as much work on these as on the RS'.

When I picked them up



Paint remover on the lips to get off the clear coat





After some hours of cleaning with steam and paint remover the clear coat was gone!





So, started off with filing some stains on the lips and sanding. This will continue during the week!

[einarsss]

Amazing amazing m3! Love everything you have done with it! :D

[ttrousdell]

so much win. awesome car.

[CrusherCurtis]

I don't think I've ever desired an M3 as much as I do now. Awesome car. What color is that?

[Mr. Horsepower]

Thanks!

The colour is Avusblue base, but there is added some secrets that I'm keeping for myself.

Picked the BBS RS's up from primer yesterday, so I will wet sand them today and deliver them back to the paint shop tomorrow.

[Mr. Horsepower]

New 2.5 inch lips for the BBS RS's



As well as new stainless valves



And gold plated bolts with new nuts



Diezel the cat approves!



The centers are now primed and wet sanded, so I delivered them back to the painter tonight. I'm doing the sanding myself you know.



After wet sanding



Aaaand a status pic ;)
