My newest Alpine acquisition

Where would one find a Supersprint replica catback?

[e30austin]

Been driving this car almost every day this week. Runs awesome. So much fucking fun, especially on the freeway. The Supersprint is music to my ears. I never thought much of them until I owned one. Half tempted to sell my UUC that's on the red car to get a Supersprint for that!

Thanks guys. Took a few pics today. Will get more tomorrow.

Hella work!

Noice. Love the look of that early front dam

[e30austin]

Finally drove this thing yesterday. Has a minor vacuum leak that I need to address, but it runs and drives awesome. The Supersprint replica exhaust sounds amazing. Slightly louder than stock, but a beautiful sound over all. This car, on coilovers, rides better than my red car on IE3/Billy sports. It is so much fun to drive :)

[e30austin]

Got it movable and put the hood back on. Installed the exhaust too. Raceland headers, stock E30 midsection and Supersprint replica catback. Just slightly louder than stock. I fucking love it, sounds beautiful.

Tomorrow, I diagnose a slight vacuum leak and go rip it around!

I got the coilovers installed on the coupe tonight. I'm pretty happy. GE coils with Bilstein sports. Rear adjusters removed and one spring pad put in place (just to give it a little forward rake.)


I still need to swap the S2.93 for the S3.73 and install the new rear brakes. Once I bleed everything, it will be hitting the streets!

She lives! Running video tomorrow after I get it all buttoned up.

M50 is in! Installed a Treehouse E21 booster and newer E34 throttle cable this afternoon. Installed M50 shortly after. Going to finish the last of the harness adapter wires and hope to hear it fire up tomorrow!

Finally got to feeling better today, so I did some more work on this.

Ripped the motor out:


Cleaned the bay:


Going to finish building the harness adapter tonight. Will install the brake booster and throttle cable tomorrow afternoon, as well as install a new rear main seal on the M50 and drop it in! Hope to have it running Saturday sometime.

Started work on this Friday. Came down with something Saturday night so I haven't done much else.

Pulled the drivetrain from the bronzit bomber:


Started getting the engine/trans ready to come out of the ETA when I stopped. No pics of that quite yet. Still need to order an oil pan gasket and rear main seal before I put the M50 in the car. Hope to have it running Saturday.

Ohhhh, this will be purdy!

Seeing a mangled euro bumper makes me want to cry.

Planning a respray or keeping it A/W?

I was pretty disappointed too. Definitely keeping it alpine.
