Hi Guys,

Was mucking around on the car today and thought id take some snaps for those of you who have asked for them. I have not really posted many engine pics in the past so might as well start now. I still have not got around to painting/detailing like i want to because im to busy enjoying the car at the moment.

also added some close up pics off the brake booster, its a MK2 Golf booster with a 24mm Nissan Terrano MC so its a nice we upgrade from the standard e30 booster

The last photo is of my Keskin 16X9s mounted with ET10 on the front TIGHT ;) Note they are my ACS wheels on the back so look skin ny.

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Regards

Riley

Thanks for posting these mate. Looks quite a factory finish. Could you take some pics down the side of the inner wings/ exhaust manifold clearance, especially around the steering rack.

Looks really good mate.

No worrys mate I thought you might want a look.

This is the drivers side, its a bit of a mission as you can see, i used quite large pipe diameters so that didn't help. Passenger side is easy as

Its not easy, but as far as conversions go id say its a 7/10 on the how hard list. Not to bad

Its dam tight lol. My friend Ben (who did most of the engineering work on the car) made the extractors, he does that for a job and is very good.

That looks like a piece of engineering art to me! Did the E30 body need strengthening to take the power of the V8?
