5ickride's 1991 318ic Build Thread

[5ickride]

Gutted most of the interior yesterday. Still not sure what direction to go with on Interior...I'd like to go with cloth inserts/leather bolsters. We'll see...

[5ickride]

Voila! I painted the 90kmh mark to indicate 55mph. Better than guessing.

[5ickride]

Got some goodies today...



And the much needed

[5ickride]

Suspension....check!

Just one shot for now...will have to wait to settle in

Before


After

[5ickride]

[5ickride]

Euro grills and Bosch projectors installed.

[ZM Blue Devil]

getting there...

[5ickride]

Installed MarkD chip and it upgraded my teacup yorki engine into a boston terrier. Def feel that little fucker zipping through the gears!

Also installed the euro clock finally. Very simple and straight forward with the "How To..." thread here.

PS- dont show this to Luke, he might throw up! Putting an order in for JVC soon! :D



While at it i figured id throw this in also.



Progress is a bit slow but i figured this should be a two year project and not a 4 month one.

Stay tuned.

Not too much to report on. Getting brakes done this weekend after i freed up some cash with the sale of my BBS's. Then looking at possibly picking up some Azev wheels.

New (used) soft top will go in soon.



Duct tape is the shit!!

Sick cluster. Where did you get it from and how much?

[5ickride]

Bought it off a member here (AC Nico). It's a Euro cluster. I got the rings from another member (87vert?) and Alpina tach strip from Levent (ZM Blue...). I took the cluster apart, painted the needles, and put it all together. I like it!

[Jand3rson]

Great idea on painting the 55 mph mark!

[5ickride]

^^Thanks. The cluster mod is one of the more eye-pleasing experience you can do to the E30 (makes me feel like im driving a real sports car) Lol

[airkhin]

keep up the good work! looking forward to seeing more progress on it. ;)

what is the difference between a euro grille and a regular one.
Im new to the whole e30 world but i think the cars are awesome.
im 16 and i just bought my first car on tuesday and it was a 1991 BMW 318ic. it was in great shape.
