Hey come to my car now :)

[DTM190]

loving the colour, very flippy like shadow chrome.

Graphite? looks too light for DS to me but always hard to tell in pics

Nice - but one suggestion and one questions.

That wiring don't look as great as everything else. This may help. It's better looking then split loom IMHO. Not for the average engine bay - but I assume you'll be keeping you's clean. It's called tech-flux braiding. Unlike other sleeving, you don't need to cut any wires.



Q: Is there a writeup on removing the ABS? I really think I want to do it.

+1 on this idea^
The rest looks great. Nice work, this is going to be one sick ride when you're done

[freeride53]

ds bro?!?! ds bro?!?!

[tonywonder]

damn that shit is sick.

really makes me want to clean my engine bay. i love the simplicity of the appearance.

In what way does the car feel different without the ABS?

[Reap3r]

Looks mint as!, Gonne be something I'll have to do when my engines out.

I know the update was 2 hours or so ago but... update?

Sure..

Painted the back side of my valance black.



Tucked up the wiring and wrapped it in some new tape after I removed a few things.



Sanded and painted my master cylinder and brake booster.



Sand blasted my hood catchers and bolts.



Removed all the rubber from the blow motor cover, sand blasted and painted it black. To bad you cant see it.
Installed the M3/318 harness cover I got from Blunt Tech.



Over all view of the whole bay.



Now Im done for the night. Started around 8am and its 2am now. :crazy:

great work!

[White325is]

oh ok cool... i thought it was kinda wierd to paint the bay and leave the rest... although your car will kick ass! zinno was pretty badass as well though, wouldn't you agree?

It was actually Brillantrot. But the main reason of painting is because there are 4 red ones alone in my town. Its not a very big town. My father in law is friends with half the police force and they come to the shop all the time.
One came up to me one day when he was at the shop and it went a little like this.

Him. So I heard from one of the guys that you was out hot rodding around town the other night.
Me. Oh yeah, where was this at and what time?
Him. It was on the west end of town, about 9pm.
Me. oh, damn.
Him. Yeah he tried to catch up to you but you was gone before he could turn the corner to see where you went. Said your car is very loud. Thats the only reason he noticed you.
Me. Well you know I work second shift right and I work 10 hour days. So I leave Town aroun 1pm and I dont get back into town till 1:30am.
Him. Oh. So it wasnt you?
Me. Well not unless someone drove 40 minutes away to get my car and come back to town and drive around.
Him. So your saying there are more than just one red e30 in town that looks like yours and its loud?
Me. Sure is. I know who he is too.
Him. oh, ok well be safe and no fuckin around and tell your friend the same.
Me. ok thanks, I will let him know...

So yeah. I dont need any shit from any cops. Next time I loose my license its for over a year and maybe jail time. So I try to keep to myself.
I know who the person was, he is actually a member here.
So a way to fix it was to paint the car or sell it. Painting the car won.

I like that color. Very slick.
