    Great looking car! I'm looking to go with a RHD itb setup on my touring, but it would be a DD. How's the driveability? Is it doable to keep the afr's right at low revs/ low load? I'm a little worried about turning it into a fuel dumping on/off switch.

    Wouldn't mind some more engine bay shots, thing looks killer!

      Driveability is fine, even on alpha-n. I think there are probably some spots in the map where I'm used to the car and things could be improved, but overall very manageable on the street.

      You could go MAP too for better correction, but the calibration will take more time. With an otherwise stock longblock, it just isn't crazy enough to have poor street manners.

      Thanks for the kind words, I need to get it out more. Still trying to find a set of seats :(

        Finally got the new seats in (second round on Thailand Upholstering...). Very happy with the quality. HKTBMW on instagram uses a vinyl that's very close to the OEM texture and color for E30 black. They're a great fit in with all the stock pieces.

        A note on the massive recaro brackets: Make sure to retain your existing seatbelt hardware. I used the center shim and outer washer that the belt mount point uses to secure it properly.

          Thanks for the info. Interior looks killer! Love everything about this car, I have watched your yt vids more often than I'd like to admit. Addicted to the sound, shouldn't be long before I order my own RHD kit, can't wait.

            Thanks! Get one, you won't regret it. Linkage has been updated somewhat too, he's always revising it.

                    I really have my heart set on this guy, but I don't know if I can stomach it.

                        It's been a while! Car is still pretty much in it's same form. Has been to AMP and Road Atlanta in the interim. Lots of fun, but ended up disconnecting the larger IE swaybar.

                        Last fall the car got a new IE hose set / Mishimoto E36 Radiator upgrade and the corresponding t-belt & water pump service.

                        In the spirit of quarantine, I decided to overhaul the brakes. Calipers have been rebuilt at all four corners, and the aging master cylinder was replaced. Plenty of scuz behind each caliper piston, and the reservoir needed a good shot of brakeclean too. Still having issues with the bleeding, hoping to enlist the help of a local shop this week to get it ready for Road A again in late June.

                        It was time for the street wheels to come apart for refinishing, it's been almost 5 years. They're going back to their full polish / black color scheme courtesy of Ehrlich Wheel Works. Mocked up some 3D printed center caps too.

                                You said you disconnected the sway bar. Are you talking about the rear due to over-steer?
