BBS RC project!










New CNC alloy nuts for the BBS RS project rims!









Had to take her out for a wash!



Removed the rear bumper in search for rust, and found some! As well as I noticed the left bumper hook has been changed to the new type. Probably have been damaged on the left side.











Cables cables cables....I MUST sort this during the spring and build a proper looking and sounding stereo. It will be insulated with Dynamat as well.



Removed the carpet, and as I feared....it was WET! On both left and right side. I welded the whole floor last winter, but it is still wet. Maybe it is because I don't have the rubber on my DTM mirrors or the water seal on the door trim. Any ideas?





E36M3 3.2l EURO rear calipers, is to be sandblasted and powdercoated.



Overhauling kit for calipers from Ebay



And brackets for the rear calipers.



Today I received new 500hp++ driveshafts from PPM Racing in Australia!

3 Questions;

-what did you use to get your motor that clean?
-what dye did you use on your carpet?
-what is your dash wrapped/covered in?

thx

-I used a cleaner like the Loctite Super Clean, glass blasting and paint
-The dye I simply bought on a textile shop, did cost almost nothing
-Dash is flocked. Procedure for that is the dash is sprayed with epoxy glue and then electrically charged nylon threads are sprayed on. The charge makes the nylon stand when it hits the glued surface.

brilliant looking car, love the on-going progress!

those driveshafts look pretty beefy. i've got my eye on them on eBay as i am considering getting them for when i do an SR20DET conversion.

Hi mate looks good!

How did you mount the front sway bar? Is it off e36?

Are you happy with your sump conversion?

Cheers

[Mr. Horsepower]

Swaybar is stock e30m3 mounted in the front, adjustable endlinks required. There is welded mounts in front of the engine subframe. Just chopped them off an old subframe I had.

I'm very happy with the whole swap. For me, there was no other way to get the engine in properly. Welding the oilpan was a must. You then get to keep the semi dry sump and you get the oilpan just 0.5mm lower than the subframe. If you use the E34 oilpan, the sump sits very low.

your e30 m3 is crap...give it to me.
