I used the Massive FIA sidemount brackets, they use the stock E30 sliders.

Updates from the last few months.
I replaced the old deteriorated rubber fuel boot.
Old boot falling apart
New boot installed
Got a new Alpine White II sticker for the engine bay
I found some S52 cams for a good price and picked them up.
They had very minor scoring on one of the bearing surfaces so I had them polished at Delta cams in Tacoma WA.

I ordered up all the parts needed to do the cam swap including a TRM tune. I took my car over to my friend Jparkr's shop Accuracy Automotive to do the cam swap. With his help we were able to get it all done and back together in about 4 hours.
Taking coil packs off
Valve cover off
Had to modify my cam locks a little bit
Cam and crank locked
Vanos Removed
M52 cams out S52 cams going in
Ready to install vanos
Vanos in valve cover back on and coil packs being reinstalled
Engine done
Now I just had to switch out the chip in the DME with the new TRM tune.
I reinstalled the DME and now the car pulls much harder up top with the S52 cams.Comment

They did mine for free but it was just one that was not very bad at all. They also said that they were trying to source billet cam blanks for 24v engines so they could make any cam you wanted.Originally posted by Wishno87 View PostComment

Got some Euro Smiles sent from my friend in Germany. Finally no more sealed beams.
And the reason why I do not have the supercharger on yet is because I spent all summer driving my car and did not feel like taking it apart. Now that winter is here I will start on it soon I just have a few other project that I have to finish first.
Maryhill Loops road
Then in August I did the Waterwerks Auto-x.

Isn't it against the law to drive on the road? I've heard it's only open to bikes/pedestrians. Or do you know someone? Besides the point, awesome looking car. Nice job.

I have switched cars for the winter and started working on the E30. I haven't done much to it but I did charge up my camera and found a bunch of old pictures. I think a few of these may have already been posted but most of the previous pictures are all shitty cell phone. So here are some more taken with my shitty point and shoot.
Painting the engine bay: My engine bay was covered in cosmolene and had a few brackets that were being unused with my old M50NV so I started removing the unused brackets and prepping it for paint. This was my first time painting a car, at least it is the engine bay so if I mess it up it's not the end of the world.
This is after about a week of sanding on it after work, ready for base coat.
After the base coat I sprayed the clear.
This is after it dried, when I sprayed it I put water on the floor to catch hold the dust and over spray, worked out great.
Changed out the antenna gasket while waiting for the paint to dry.

Putting the car back together with new M52B28:
Cleaned up my ZF 320 Transmission, I got this out of a wrecked E46 that only had about 50k on it so it wasn't too dirty to start with.
Cleaned the oil pan up.
Miscellaneous pictures of the engine getting cleaned and put together. Lots of new hardware.
The engine bay is back together, some other things that I did but never took pictures of are the TIG welded reinforced subframe, 95 M3 sterring rack, new lemforder control arms and AKG bushings.
Ignore the chewed up oil filter housing cap, it's just a temp. I had a new one ready to swap out.
