Where did you get this yellow sticker?

I got it from Pukar. He sells them on r3v and s14.

I got the yellow sticker made locally as I couldn't find it.

Keep loading your progress here Raul :up:

Thanks, Diego.


Today I drilled out the turbo return oil line nipple and tapped it.
Trying to keep progress on this car.
It been a month when I sent out for the Alpina wheels to get painted. The painter still not finished my wheels. :(

My friend Frank gave me a used front set of e36 m3 rotors slotted. I will install these soon. If my Alpina's come back paint.


I also bought a used set of fog lights that had hids on them.

HID sucks...I really prefer the std. yellow lights which has deeper range, hids are for looks though and does it good.

Diego I am using Hid on my black m3 head lights and fog lights. I love how light up the road. For 17 years I hated how the 55w lighted the road. It was hard see the far head on the road. Maybe the Hid you tried were not very good on lighting at night.
I will try to take pics of brand.

Sounds good Raul the set of HID you got. I have OEM in my C43 AMG and the Litronic in my 993tt and I like them though, it doens't have deep penetration inthe dark, arround the city is OK. Problem is in the long range, for those 55w bulb headlights I usually change them to 100/130w with all the wires, relays, connectors to suppor the new current only the if the beams are from glass/ceramic?

Just read through this thread on my lunch break. When you posted the alpina interior/carpet/floor mats my jaw dropped. Those alpina vent read-outs are also very awesome. I hope you can find parts and keep this project going, I understand this isnt the project that can be rushed. Thank you for sharing with us!

Love all the rare goodies on your car. I would suggest putting some teflon tape around the threads of the oil return nipple so it doesn't leak. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Diego. That good info for 100/130.

T did not plan to build a Alpina project in the beginning. It started with the Alpina air dam and grew from there. Yes the parts hard find and not cheep. Here is a pic of Alpina big brake kit I bought. To bad I'm not going use it on this project because I went 5 lug. I will be using it on my Hartge H35 project.

Otis thanks for the tip on teflon.

Looking good Raul. Good to hear that work is busy so you have more money for your builds. Now all you need is the time to work on the projects.

Cheers,

Jim

You know how it is to have multiple projects. I have no time to work on all them. I have to many crazy hours at work for the rest of the year. I'm thinking about having Tod finish the motor, turbo, exhaust and have him build a mega squirt plus tune it. Just a thought.

Looked through every page and every post. I must say EPIC:bow: Your thread is a real inspiration for the time and effort it takes to make a really nice car. Vary well done.
