What did you do to your E30 today?

[ben312]

Redlined it this morning. Well, close. I didn't get the ne-ne-ne up against the limiter, but it went past the 5 somehow... *shrug* (Dinan chip)

my 325e is bone stock and gets to about 5-5 without the ne ne ne...

Took out my seats to change the seat shocks and figured out that they have height adjustment! Sweet! Unfortunately, the shocks for height adjustment are also blown.

Also, finally redid my C33 wiring and installed a 4 channel amp, but apparently fucked something up because now I get a loud whine instead of music. The head unit is fine, and the amp is fine, so I suspect wacky grounds.

re check all your wires. make sure the tuning is right also. to much or little on the feq. could cause this. also to much gain. to much or to little power from the amp could cause the problem.

I finished putting my tranny and motor back in after a few months, then fixed the wires on my coil this morning that broke, then filled the car with an e85 and 92 octance mix... hell yes

so today I made my interior match a little better... in the dark

My Alpine Headunit

There's in no green on the unit, not quite sure why it came out with green.

My new cluster gauges

PS: centers look very bright, but they really aren't. It's actually very soothing to the eye.


I didn't install MPG part, because that gauge is useless, and I really do like the way it looks, next I need to paint needles so they are more visible.

Yikes. Seriously, just plain YIKES.

[travis816]

[ubernasty]

Nothing special, just making some progress on my engine. :)





you should have seen it before... scary sight
can't wait to get everything clean and looking good

[asuj158]

[ubernasty]

TB, intake

I really hope you didn't just spray paint into all those springs and linkages on that throttle body...

Because that's what it looks like.

Yeah man i wasn't really sure how to go about making it look better w/o access to a sandblaster. For what its worth i didn't, and never have, just "sprayed" over everything. I took a lot of time and effort cleaning it as best as possible and prepping for paint.

Funny you ask, because i never got a PM back from my questions to you about your motor... bastard. ;)

[e30trooper]

i tucked my bumpers the ghetto way and added more oil to my leaky m10

[1mz]

spent 2 grueling hours with shop rags cleaning grease and road grime out of my now-empty engine bay to start preparing for what I'm starting tomorrow

[Aptyp]

replaced my alternator and continued cleaning my internal engine parts for turbo build. Only had a few hours, so didn't get too far.

[ubernasty]

btw, used epoxy paint on the springs on the TB (the same stuff they use on suspension springs), so it will not "chip" off ever. Thanks Janderson for the tip ;) ... or lack thereof.



hey bro, i'm done posting picks till she's done. so i'll post when i get her back together. :)
