hehe, no point doing things half assed now.

Hmm yeah, would like to do something about the interior at some point .. Im considering flocking a dash and installing it. Would like to find a nice recaro seat. If I can find some, m3 CSL seats ... dunno will hunt.
Racechrono with touch screen on removible brackets that sits over the top of the stereo for track days. Will also log ODBII info
Some extra mechanical gauges oil pressure / temp water /temp. Im waiting for a word on a certain solution to come through ... however the on-board computer EEE PC looks like it could supply a lot of the logging I need .. will see.
hmmm While a friend of mine is running a full race car with s50b32 in an e30 and has the same sump setup as me I'm looking at running an Accusump and I might look at getting a custom winged / baffled sump made up for next oil change.
Sump crash plate

A second set of softer springs with keepers which might be better suited to NZ B-road driving.

Hmmm then after driving it around on the roads for a while I'll most likely look at turning it into a full blown race car. (Cage / stripped out, rebuilt rear towers and rear coil over setup blah etc etc)

Your going to stick race rubber on them and you are concerned with their appearance? IMO that is wasted money. Looks awesome so far is there anything else left?

Seriously one of the crappiest jobs you could hope to do on an e30. Now to work out how to remove a few KGs of spent KY like substance from my garage.

Beautiful cars. Love that silver.

Engine bay as promised

Some updates:
Fuel system added (before hampton actually) but heres a shot of it anyways.
Specs: normal pre-fl tank feeds the external accumulator (high volume, low pressure) feeds a 2 liter surge tank which inturn feeds the Walbro 500hp (low volume, high pressure 5 bar++) pump (not pictured as its underneath).
The 2 liters is a bit over kill but also acts as a nice reserve if the accumulator would ever to fail.
Accumulator and primer is wired in a relay and then to the DME so when EWS enables engine start .. both pumps fire a primer of gas through the lines. It leaves the pumps on the security system which is nice :)


And an interior shot so far.
mostly stock, e36 window switches and e34 leather hand brake (e brake) grip.

Do you guys actually tow with those cars? Because those ball hitches look wwaaayyyy out of place on such clean cars.
