Lol ha not really done much mate I'm just waiting on parts at the mo, wheels have gone off for polished ecu is going tomoz to be modded, loom will be made next week
That's about it at the mo

[ross2009]

Well not done much lately as mainly waiting for some major bits to be done but I've started on the intercooler and pipe work
And fitted a few sensors and vacuum pipes

I thought I'd still use the bmw sensors
So I got some npt unions for the engine and re drilled and tapped them for the sensors





Painted the slam panel and cut out the dents where the engine fell on it




And made a new slam panel



For boost pipe








Also got round to fitting the coil packs , I had to buy new 90 degree end and boots to suit the coil pack so thats what I've been doing tonight





That's about it for now wheels should be back from polishing in a week or so, ecu should be back next week, loom will be made next week a couple more bits to get done and were nearly there

Last Little push now

[ross2009]

Small update

Finally got round to modifying the intercooler as it wasn't going to work with the out let at the back so I chopped it off and re welded it up so it went from this ....



To this ....




And got it mounted ..






Still Just waiting on part now to come from usa

[ross2009]

Getting there







Bov has arrived too

[JF008]

throttle body on and plumbed in

[ross2009]

injectors and a couple of other goodies



new wideband and controller

[ross2009]

while i was waiting for most o the bits to come in i thought id do some thing with the clocks as ive never liked the candle lit orange glow so i thought id liven it up a little , plasma gauges and custom red led needles than i made my self from some e39 needles








they do look really glarey in the pics there not as bright as the pics make them out to be look alot better in the flesh

[Speedtouch]

Trick!

[manse73]

[ross2009]

not a prob kev when you gonna nip up you said you was gonna

[ross2009]

Well there shiney















Tyres on





Well you can tell due to the engine bay being pretty cramped I'm not going to get away with air filters so I'm just gonna run gauze over the turbo, gives you an idea



When I bought they they were supposed to be polished but they came as blue anodised rattle can sprayed silver which my niece could have done a better job half of it was scratched with huge runs down the inside


Weren't going to have that so I emailed them it's been a week now but they ain't replied tossers

So I thought I'll make them look better so I stripped of most of the silver paint got the blue off and spun them up to smooth them out




And what I finished with





Finished product





Still waiting for the loom hopefully next week and it's all ready to get it up and running fingers crossed

[Speedtouch]

Good work. Lovely rims - they remind me of the Borranis you got on classic Ferraris, etc.

Awesome work mate! It must put a massive smile on your face whenever you drive it!? Is it all fully mapped?

[ross2009]

lol it does but no its not fully mapped yet, engine is still new so putting some miles on it first before i start putting some power down

[jmc330i]

Awesome, we NEED videos!

[ross2009]

Only thing I've got at the mo and was taken by some one else

[jmc330i]

That sounds lovely, can't wait to hear it opened up a little

[appletree]

Have you had to roll/flare the rear arches to cover the tyre then? Centre caps have come out really we too!

[ross2009]

Yes mate I cut them off and started again there hand made arches now there not perfect but they will do, yeah really please with the center caps were expensive but certainly makes the wheels now

[ross2009]

Hey guys bk again, as this thread has gone alittle cold since last update the car had more work done to it as some of you know from last winter so now I've got a little time I thought I'd update it a little to where we are right now !!

After last year I had some problems with the car engine and body turbos etc as last year was really put down as a teething year to let things settle I decided to change some things that I wasn't happy with mainly the exhaust side of things so I made my self new down pipes and manifolds nice and neat log type !

And of corse it had to have new turbos lol a nice twin set of holset hx35s

Old vs new

[ross2009]

So having near on finished that I set my sights on the next bit ! The interior
My red leather had been in now for about 5-6 years now it needed freshening up but I didn't want to stay with the same type of seats
So I sold my red leather set and started collection new parts and this is what I got

[/[URL=http://s924.photobucket.com/user/Rossco ... f.jpg.html]

I thought these might be to expensive for me to get or to modern but I managed to find a set from a wrote off focus Rs
So I got them the rails did need modifying to fit as there narrower than e30 rails but wasn't a problem
Then the rear I didn't want a normal rear seat it had to be an m3 one took me months to finally source one but I didn't and wasn't cheap lol not got pics of that at the moment I'll add some later

To cut a long story short they went of for trimming to lg trimming in Enfield north London and done a pukka job a‘aaaaa‘aaaa










He also did the dash center consol and door cards for me too









It certainly has the desired effect maybe not to everyone's tastes but I love it

[KW355]

Top work, I saw the interior at the pod, it's stunning a˜€
