German plates,
Supersprint exhaust (from Bob_s) :D
HIDs for the Fogs
Eaton M45 supercharger (I won't really have time or funds to open this present well into next year, lol)
Mtec-2 steering wheel
Swaping E36 rack for E46

Hopefully adjustable rear camber/toe plates for both E30s.

My 21st is in febuary too so, In an ideal world...
I'd have all this fitted for then and a trip to the ring to have a weekend away that weekend :cool:

I believe it's always good to be optimistic in life :P
M42 rightness above 6500rpm, nobody can hear you scream

The e30 racecar won't be getting much this xmas, we've got to replace the external electric cut out pull and we have to really give everything a good once check over before the next season starts in March.

Maybe we will try some more weight reduction?

The e46, on the other hand, failed it's MOT on emissions, so I have until the 28th when the previous ticket expires to get that passed, which is opening a potentially massive can of worms!!!! :D

Well as my girlfriend and family refused to get me anything for either of my E30's, I bought a new registration for my touring - E3O DW (meant to be E3 ODW but I'm moving it around and my initials are DW).
