Hi guys.
I think that could be mine (I've not seen this months issue).
I did have a photographer do a shoot a while ago, but I've not heard from the magazine since then!
I'll have to keep an eye out for that!

the one in the pic is either dark blue/black with what look's like hounds tooth interior & a polished half roll cage & what look like 5 spoke split rims (don't know what make or if they are even proper split rims lol)
any chance of a pic of your's?

Well mine is diamond black, has IS checked seats, a six-point cage painted light blue and Lenso RS5 (fake split rim
) wheels.
Don't expect to see a show car!
The car gets used hard (as you can see) and it's my only car so the daily driver too.
Even a car with rust and dents can get into a magazine it would seem!

I did have a monster thread going before it was turbocharged but not so much of or after that conversion, I really should update it!
Turbo stuff starts around here:
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... &start=550
I must add, for those who didn't see it, it was Toby Unna's legendary conversion that he sold to me.
I'll try and find that thread too, but it's way back in the archives now!

Thanks!
There is a bit of banter in that thread though.
I'll update it later also, I think...

What bhp is that putting out, and at what boost?
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2009 3:45 pm

I've not got round to putting it on a rolling road yet so I don't really know.
It's only running 7psi at the moment (on a £100 Ebay engine on standard compression) so I'd guess around 300bhp.

Fancy taking me out for a spin in it, not been in a turbo e30 before.

Oh, Steve.
You wouldn't have been impressed at how it didn't stop at Brands Hatch last week!
Probably only minutes after that photo was taken in fact!
That gravel is good brakes!

I just went and bought TBMW.
Nice big picture!
And it seems that the camera does lie, my car doesn't look that good in the metal!
October issue out on friday 18th. I can't wait!
Also, well done to Josh Hocking for the fine article and even finer looking car!
