Welcome to the zone!

damn, you been busy aint you!

cars looking good!

[shedrool83]

Looks great. What exhaust is it

[fuzzy]

welcome to the zone. looks like youve been busy already. do you have any pics from a rear quarter angle showing the whole side and rear of the car so we can get an overall view showing the exhaust arrangement?

[BAUR335I]

Well done mate,looks nice.
Exhaust and door speaker pods,where from and how much?

[aceraf]

Is the armrest a factory one?

It looks like it's got the big bracket on the side that it mounts with, and it's normally the factory one's that have these!

[shazE30]

i like the extra little details you've done footrest, arm rest,door pods nice overall like it tho think you should lose the spoiler but thats just my opinion

[theflop]

beast

[e30bmlover]

she looks the real deal mate, quality stuff!

Yes, that goes someway to justifying the quad pipes!!

Standard advice is to remove power boost valve thingys (ecotek jobby right?) as they cause fires in the engine bay...

FSE adjustable pressure fuel regs are what 'power boost valve' generally refers to. All they do on a standard car is cause overfuelling, but depending on what setup's on there, may well be suitable for use with a supercharger! Other brands may well be less likely to burn your car to the ground, but I've not had any first hand experience of them so I'll leave it at that...

Not one of those electric superchargers is it

Car looks good, like the quad tailpipes

[oneblueleg]

I'm sure I've seen this car on the zone before... a year or more ago... someone bought it for a steal, it was really clean and really cheap I seem to remember... odd colour...as was

[evilbemer]

The exhaust was a cheapie of ebay £100 from a guy called the_bike_shed i think,but if you take your time fitting it and put good parts and decent welds on it,it looks good,and it sounds awsome.
The door pods were also off ebay from a guy called audiosport-hi-fi, i think they were about £65.
The center armrest is an original factory one again of ebay from america.
A few people have said about the power boost thingy, so i removed and binned it could do without an engine fire.
The supercharger is an electric one, and it does give a little bit more grunt and for £40 not too bad.
I've owned this car for 5 years now and its been off the road for most of the time.
The cars at the trim shop at the mo so as soon i get her back i'll post some more pics.
cheers for the replies guys.

Oh dear god

That is not a supercharger it is closer to a hairdryer unit. Remove this instance.

[evilbemer]

Hey for £40 it does what it does,i spend more each week on marlboro's,and i'll post some more pics of under bonnet and the new interior hopefully on friday.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

The only function ebay pc fan superchargers do is take money off people silly enough to buy them.

[evilbemer]

Interior finished,just waiting for the rear valance to come back from the bodyshop and then back on the road.Decided to do the quad backbox black.















Not too sure what colour to have the overmats in either black or to match the leather,any comments welcome!!!!!!!

[munky30]

fse powAh b00st valve AND an electric supercharger... fokkin wikkid!

Must go like a rocket!

If you didnt have them I would mock you for having all the stick on ///M tat but they more than justify it.

Interior looks nice.

[Giggz]

Love what you have done to the interior mate. How did you colour the centre console?

[Ajay325]

welcome to the zone, its nice to see more and more people restoring these legendary cars, keep up the good work!

[evilbemer]

The center consol is hand double stiched leather to match the seats and door cards.Pete at Bromsgroove Auto Trim did it and he's done a top job!!!!!! Cheers Pete.

[evilbemer]

Few extra pics with the rear valance shaped for the quad!!!!!











Fitted the sat nav today really pleased how it fitted in.

[trevski]

[Rosc0PColtrane]

[whipsey]

[Simon325i]
