My E30 325i. Slowly getting on it's wheels

[Philo]

haha you see the red e30...is that relavent?

It's not an E30.

Tested it today. Holy cow! It is more than enough power for a 18 year old with a fresh licence, that's for sure! :)

The car looks great man. I want move over there so bad.

I'm so glad that the only thing left to do is to just some finishing touches like painting the bumper and so on. I have decided that if I find a cheep m-tech 1 rear bumper, I will buy it and try to modify it so it fits. Then paint the front, sideskirts and rear black with silver stripes.

Thanks btw! :D

It helped a lot on the looks to get rid of the eyebrows. Those will clearly not come back on again! ;)

I have mounted my new grill as well.. Think it looked nice! :P
Can't wait to get the front painted!

I have done some work on the stereo in the last days.

I have bought and installed a Pioneer DEH-P75BT cd-player.

I have redone the apolstry on the wooferbox, and installed the woofers.

Before:



After:




Woofers:




All wired up and almost done. I will mount the amplifyer to the back of the wooferbox to get more room for baggage. Sounded pretty good! :D

Looks good man, thats some nice work. I been to Norway and ridden on some of those 1lane, 2 way roads. Absolutely insane. I want to say it was along a fjord near Bergen but I can't say for sure, it was along time ago and I was only 8. Beautiful scenery though, too bad my dad never got a chance to see it cause his eyes were glued to the road trying to keep the car from hitting an oncoming vehicle and killing his entire family. Needless to say he as a little bit stressed.

Hehe.. I've been practicing on driving for nearly two years now, so I'm getting used to it. I have a lesson to get my licence in about a month for now, so hopefully I'll pass.
Perhaps I can drive and take a picture with the E30 standing on the road, so all the people can see acctually how narrow the roads is! :)

Nice work! Enoyed the pics!

[Larsinnj]

Thanks! :D

If you think I'm doing things wrong I would like to hear! Always room for improvement.. :D

[Larsinnj]

Changed the thermostat (?) today. Took some pics as well.
She's dirty, but the weather is relly crappy, so it's no use washing her! :(
Another thing I'm going to do is to but some new mounts for the exhaust. I can lift the exhaust aprox 5 cm, and I want it to be as close to the bosy as possible.

[Larsinnj]

Did some work on it today. Letting the pics speak for themselves.
The only textile available was grey, but I don't care. I might replace it once, but it stays there for a while.

It's my birthday today (11), and i got a nice little *cough* big present for my E30! :)
Everything that's nessecary to convert to power-steering! :D That is a very good thing, because the steering-wheel is fucking heavy to turn around on 195/65-15 so I don't dare to think about what it's going to be with 215/45-17! Well, don't have to worry about that anymore! :mrgreen:

Got the Rial's kome today. Couldn't resist to polish them once again. I don't regret doing so either. There were some scratches on them, but I got rid of most of them.
I've only done one so far, but wednesday is my last day at school, and then I den't have anything to do until late august, so I think it will be time to do the remaining 3.
Got to get some money so I can paint them soon! :)




Not polished:



Polished:

Passed the test to get my licence today! :)

Onøy downside is that the DMV have destoyed my numberplates, and it takes time to get new one. Hoping to get them by next week.

In the mean time, I drive around in this! :) A 320i
