Some of how my 30 looks this morning.

I have had my compomotives refurbished by lap-tab in birmingham and run 215/40/17 on the front and 235/40/17 on the rear ( yoko's on the way)
I have uprated my Front brakes to AP Racing 4 potters which have been refurbed, and are coupled to 330 mm discs,
The rears shall receive an uprated conversion pretty soon as just waiting for adaptor plate.
Braided hoses all round

Heres mine and my Brothers 30s picture just before a gentle run out at 6 in the morning ( sorry picture not that good )
Both 325i with juicy bits

Image


Further plans are to have the windows tinted gently, and to fit the Black Ellipsoid Angel eyes.
And take a trip to see ANT from the zone to have Mega-Squirt fitted in mid April.

Thanks for looking..... 8)

Not entirely sure yet,
Got to get it to ANT for megasquirt, for full setup as not running as sweet as she should be
As a gauge tho it kicks my mates standard scooby into touch from the lights
and totally floors it round the twisties.

Yours looks absolutely fantastic mate... :D

Thanks Andrewpany2002

Wasn't sure to begin with with swopping Alpina reps over and a few minor adjustments as i really like to see 30's with them on , but as the day has wore on and countless times into the garage i am happy that i have made the right choice, still got the pina's just in case i change my mind, but if i do then the AP brakes will have to come off cos they don't fit with them on ! :?

You got any pics of your car on here dude ?
