Top job mate. That engine bay looks great, very neat and tidy.

Paint job at the same time? You've got to have deep pockets!!

It certainly looks smart! Would a local classic show appreciate it? There plenty of zone meets/shows and there's always a big BMW show each year at Gaydon.
Where are you based?

probably not haha but am based up in shetland isle so not ideal to get down to the meets/shows down there, possiably some day

the show up here is quite big (for shetland) there is alot of people that come up from south for it.

She looks lovely mate. The unbeatable looks of a schwarz black tech II coupled with S50 power.... perfect.

Very nice,, but please remove the cone filter and try to use an oem airbox if you can,,

on rough pedal,, the heat inside the engine bay will steal a lot of horses from you

thanks for the comments.

just waiting on my new stainless manifold and exhaust system its getting made at the moment

Posted: **Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:11 am**

Beautiful! I'd say the front needs just a slight drop though.

its all new suspension so hoping it will settle a little bit more, but not wanting it much lower as the sump it quite low and bumpy roads up here

What size brakes you got there mate? Im looking to buy them and put pinas over the top aswell.

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:19 pm**

Hi, got the kit from Keri-WMS (its on the zone somewhere)

....the car's looking bloody nice...!

Just for general reference, this is the "fat" 300mm kit (300x26 = 4P144, flattish disc), the other big WMS kit (298.5x24 = 4P028, deeper offset disc) gives the wheel 6.5mm more spoke clearance.

Good job there
