I havent been to this thread in a while but WOW, amazing transformation! We need some pro pix.

How did you polish those wheels?

[Schnitzer318is]

I am floored... you sir do work. *thumbsup*

I hope I do somewhere near this well when I get around to my project that has been sitting for a year.

[hi its me alec]

Updates/photoshoot ASAP! I sure have a lot of catching up to do.

What's the next big step you'll take?

im not sold on the front seats, but the color is a nice contrast, and polishing the wheels was a great move.

nice job.

Im going to go with "most improved e30 this year"
If you go back and look at the start of this its pretty amazing.
I thought "wow this is a pile of shit but hes going to try and make the most of what hes got on a budget" which i really respect because not everyone has deep pockets.... But in following through this thread its amazing what he has accomplished
Great work

[hi its me alec]

Sami, how many miles have you put on this car since you bought it?

[mRodiek]

Looks great! I like the red/tan combo

You know a red sharpie works just the same on those gauge needles though lol

& I know uber newb question but the silver rings around the gauges, can those be bought seperate? Or do you need another cluster.

[White325is]

Wheels look much better now. Can I have them? :)

Hi guy's I'm new to this site. I have had a couple of 318i. The one thing I'm still trying to do is find a way to eliminate the afm. Does anyone have any idea how to go about doing that? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Definitely not the right place to ask this question. Take a look at all the subforums, see the one noted 'm42'? Start by searching through there for the topic your interested in. If you still can't find an answer then post in THAT forum, not in someone else's project thread.

Thank you!

Yeah, now that I am finally done with the exahust and could drive it, the next step is to detail it and take some really good pics.

I am floored... you sir do work. *thumbsup*

I hope I do somewhere near this well when I get around to my project that has been sitting for a year.

Thank you, get started on your project, you wont regret it.

Updates/photoshoot ASAP! I sure have a lot of catching up to do.

Lol, thats the next step, detail and photoshoot.

I want coils and to work on my rear end, so prob coils, LSD, and all new bushings in the rear. I just have a Jeep im working on now so I have to do half time for each, lol.

im not sold on the front seats, but the color is a nice contrast, and polishing the wheels was a great move.

nice job.

Thank you, the def take some getting used to. I loeved the E30 iS seats, but for the price I got these I couldnt pass up, plus they are heated and power. I couldnt find any iS seats in tan that werent full of shit, and didnt feel like getting new covers for some worn out seats.

Thanks a lot Blunt, that means a great deal coming from you.

Sami how many miles have you put on this car since you bought it?

I have no idea because the odo has been broken since I got it, I just got a working one about a year ago. I havent driven it much since I painted it, or at all really because its been in limbo between projects. When I sold the ZHP though, I drove this car a lot for almost 4 months staight, and drove it a decent amount while owning the ZHP.

Wheels look much better now. Can I have them? :)

Thanks, sure come pick them up :)

Yeah, a red sharpie probally would of worked better, but it was late and I got lazy, I did miss the MPG guage though, lol.

The rings could be purcahsed seperatly, I got them trhough Guten Parts on the board, really nice guys. They just clip in.

[motorsports_3]

Well it must be a christmas miracle, lol, because I finally had time to do the exhaust. I couldnt take too many pictures because I was under the car and helping. I also only had my Iphone.

I know when it comes to exhausts, everyone knows more than the next person as to what is better, and what looks nicest. I went with what I like.

I went with 2-1 3" stainless all the way back to a V Band behind the diff, and a 3" in 2x2.5" out stainless Magnaflow muffler with 2 stainless tips. I chose this setup because I plan to turbo this motor and I would have the exahust all done. I dont have any sound clips right now.

Welding the collector
