Tech 1 Sport rebuild +S50'd (and new toy)

[Peet]

In November I bought a 320se, but after 3 weeks I’d managed to crash it.
I was going to find parts to rebuild it but came across the Sport (as a bare shell) on here, it seemed like a better idea to rebuild that using parts from the 320.

Whilst most the interior was out I took the dash out to replace it as it had cracked,

Whilst the dash was out, the carpet came out to weld the floor up (needed both jacking points welding up) and needed a plate fabricating and welding in on the bulkhead under the fuse box (luckily my bro is a welder)

Some pics of my 320 and the Sport when I picked it up

[Peet]

Interior fitted (using the 320 seats until I can afford some sport ones)

Engine fitting day, my mate (phil540uk) was removing his 325 engine, box n diff from his track car so put it all straight in








Next is to fit the diff and sort the engine loom out (pre-facelift car to facelift engine) thanks for the info from Ant on the wiring changes.

Good work there! Usually goes the opposite way with tech1's

[Peet]

Thanks

Putting some miles on it now, find the faults before its trip to Le Mans in june (both cars in the pic will be going )

sport looks nice.....

[Ollie_bwoii]

Tec1 does look nice. However it really does need 15" BBS, and a sport's interior.

[Peet]

Thanks, haha yeah wheels are next on my list of things to buy then i'll save up for the trim, just happy to have it on the road and usable.

[Peet]

just a few pics, second one is it with its new rims on (looks better for havin 15's instead of the 14's)

Thanks, sure your work will be worth it in the end.

all i had to do was add 3 wires into the C101 connector, Ant from A-tech kindly forwarded me some info on which wires are needed.

My post from when i was asking about it.

[jbh]

can you forward this info if possible? email is jamesbhall@retrobmw.co.uk cheers mate

[jbh]

heres mine. shes not long out of storage hoping to get it back on the road for the summer then over the winter ill have a few issues to sort out.

[Kedge]

Peer, could you send me the info as well please. I asked when Ant sent it but missed his last reply, e-mail is king_of_biers@hotmail.com. Cheers.

Can't wait to get my Tech 1 rep done, great looking cars.

tech 1 sports tick all the right boxes for me

[andrew320i]

Cant beat the look of a tech 1!!!

[Peet]

The E30 sat next to the new summer toy





Over the last few months the E30 has had a change





i am starting to think it was a bad idea, wouldn't recommend it to anyone really. the 2.5 was just as much fun and no where near as tempermental as it is now.

Will see how it goes but thinking its going to get pulled out and go back to normal soon.

[Finto_316]

lovely tech 1 man

[Peet]

Thanks

[Rav335uk]

You selling the S50 kit as a whole?

[Peet]

If it comes out it'll be cause i've not been able to get it running right so wouldn't like to sell it as a full conversion, i'd sooner strip it and sell it as parts to save anyone buying something with problems.

[Peet]

well fitted the new seats 



Just need to get my arm rest retrimmed and fitted then the ski bag can be used



Sunblind all sorted aswell

[Peet]

Another pic of it in the sun, one of the few times the bike comes out

[Eddie25]

Ahhh so you are on here. I was admiring your tech 1 at the American meet on Friday night. I've also spotted it round Preston and wondered if you were on here. Lovely car.

I was there on Friday with my other turd:

And the E30 has recently come back on the road for the summer (not sure why this pic is so grainy):

Haha always go the meet, usually with my land rover (the v8 fits in with the rest) but take the bm every now n then, was there with mi bro n his mk1 fez van.



Always wanted a ford pop as a fun car, might be next if the bm goes.

Yours looks nice will keep my eye out for it out n about. (you on nw-bnw.co.uk ?)

[csl]

What engine is in the Fiesta Peet?

Your Sport sounded nice from when i was traveling behind you near Penworthem,the other day!

[Peet]

Bro has just fully recon'd the 1.1 and fitted it with big valve head, high lift cam, twin 36 dcnf's and xr2 gearbox, seems a good set up and goes well. Spent a bit of time getting the van sorted but its nearly finished now.

Thanks, will keep a eye out for yours out n about

[Eddie25]

Fiesta looks well done that man. I always fancied a Mk1 or Mk2 XR2.

I'm not on nw bmw but with more zoners popping up we should get a Northern meet sorted.

In fact the Dodge runs out of MOT next month and will be coming off the road for the big strip down so I might go to the American meet in the E30.

If CSL brought his sport we could have a mini meet within a meet.

[Peet]

Fez is different to the norm of mini's, he's done a good job of getting it to handle well, just need to get my mini back out the garage to see whats better ;)

Yeah there is a few e30's popin up local now, could get a decent selection for a meet.

Haha yeah get the e30 there, i'll be there, by that time all our le mans road trip cars will be stickered up aswell
