That looks great.
I'd love an mt1 kit on my alpine.

Thanks, It is amazing how the kit changes the whole look of the car. And then you could add some euro lights, and euro stuff inside, and it seems like a totally different car:).
Got both cars in the garage today, going to be working on both this next week...lots of fun.

JM wish you would post inline instead of with attachments... not hard to do with a service like dropbox.

Looks great, I've debated getting rid of the 17inch Kopi's on mine and going to a brand new set of euro-weaves.

Yeh, I will switch over. Funny that some of the pictures come out correct and some don't.

Yes, I had a set of hartge 15" on the car and I really think the car looks better with the euroweaves. Just seems to match the car for some reason:)

this car actually reminded me of yours heh. i would definitely do the euroweaves!

Only problem with euroweaves is the cost has gone up a lot in the last year:).
Question: for all you m-technic 1 owners. I did a Google search for m-tech images and noticed that there are a lot of them with the m-badge in the front grill. I just happen to have a badge on the shelf, so I put it on. Is this badge a option on the real m-techs, or a dealer add on? It seems many of the ones in Europe have the badge.

long day

Today I spent about 4hours cutting end caps taking the rear valance, exhaust, wheels and lots of other things off the car. Note, euro bumper end caps will not work on m-tech bumpers. They do not fit. Thanks to a nice post on this forum, I was able to cut them to fit and now they are on the bumper:) Now I just have to get it all back on:) Pictures later,

Good work mate! Can't wait to see it in person. Hopefully saturday?

That looks great.

But you have a late model so that would look goofy :D

Hi Mike:) Spent the day working on the m-tech rear valance and got it on:) Not as easy as I was thinking it would be....lots of learning going on:)
Yes, I am trying to get it ready for Sat, so will see you then. I think you saw the car before I did anything to it....looks really different now.

Yeh the pictures need some work:)

So, yesterday I removed everything on the back. I was using some old brackets off the hartge and getting them aligned was a pain. I would recomend to anyone who has not put these parts on a usa e30 buy the new brackets:). Yes they are expensive, but they will save you a ton of time.
For some reason my euro end caps did not want to fit even with triming, so I will have to make them fit:).



more later.....have to go finish the car, so I can take it for a drive!!

[2002jm]

more pictures

Got the car on the ground, get to take a ride in the morning:)


This was really fun to clean: Wearing a mask was a good thing!

But no rust!!!
Now to take the passenger side skirt off:(. Just did not go on right, so I don't want it to fall off. Sat afternoon will be side skirt time....remember put the back on first!!!!!!!
