this had to be done 2 boot lights instead of the one!



so how ya like me now!! tec 1 chromie cabby baby!!! let me know what you guys think, i may get some stick because its hasnt got the tec 1 spoiler but i aint a fan of it man and its sooo heavy, iv got really good pressure boot struts and i still have to push it up but with the heck on it goes up and stays up lol you can see its de locked on the passenger side and the aerial was removed, was going to take out the side reps but i thought just incase i better not how would i change a bulb inside there or leave it flashing fast no thanks. . . . thanks for viewing my thread

[bhups]

That is so nice good work!!!

[ali50ferrari]

thanks bhups i remember your thread about going tech 2, there are always other options. . . . . btw ur e30 is really nice man how much was the m50 conversion? basically a fitting price?

[mercdriver]

Love it Ali, looks really good now dude!!!

[bhups]

Cheers, im really loving the tech 1's lately. Its hard to give you the basic fitting price but it cost me around £2k so far and the cost is still going up.

[ali50ferrari]

thanks merc driver in my eyes the hartge skirts never suited the car, tec1 was wat it was meant to look like well only cause it came to me with the tec 1 valances and being a chromie was a bonus so tec 1 it was!!!
yh bhups thanks for that figure, your car is really lookin stunnin keep it up!

now that i have the sound deadening on my bonnet i car start cleaning the engine bay area make it presentable also at the mo it lets the car down. . .

does anyne know if the rev meter and clock are running on the same fuse or relay etc my car was hardly driven for nearly 3 weeks when i got it back after finishin the work the clock had stopped so i set the time again and the rev meter was flicking between 100rpm and 2000rpm now it has stopped aswell as the clock??

[tonybtonyb]

Hi Ali your cab is looking sweeter than sweet..Oh i see your clocks have stopped working the batteries have packed up!I think you can get these from Maplins or maybe main dealer.

[ali50ferrari]

Na tony its was a fuse man, when i changed my bootlid lights from1 to 2 i think i shorted d circuit replaced the fuse and all is functionin like normal including d clock

[chewy320]

gotta love the chrome dude

[ali50ferrari]

Thanks man before this e30 i only had knowledge of tec 2s. this my first e30 and im glad i got it! oh look at that the suns out time to drop the hood!

[chewy320]

Dont rub it in! Tech 1 beats tech 2 any day.

[ali50ferrari]

Yh i prefer this look its abit more unique man especially in chrome tec 2s are what people tend to do more so i thought make a tec 1 coz when i brought her she had the valances already jus needed skirts and afew touches and wullllaaah tec 1 chromie baby and rust free!!!!

[sunnyr83]

Looks awesome man. Good job

[ali50ferrari]

Thanks guys got afew more things to do on it, sunny i noticed in ur sig pic your car has the bumper trims painted in gloss black how did you do this or was it done at a body shop? let me know please im interested thanks soon an ice install will be coming!!

[sunnyr83]

Ali it's a highly exposed picture so they look gloss black, there just standard mate, I did treat it to a back to black though so I think that's why they look gloss.

[M-Sport]

what a result

[ali50ferrari]

thanks sunny i thought you had yours done, i treat mine with autoglym bumper gel but really like the thick glossy look on them been thinking of having the bumpers and door trims and also the front grill done plans still in the think tank though,

thanks m-sport !

[ali50ferrari]

[ali50ferrari]

Thanks oomz alot dont agree coz its low and semi none o.e.m!

[sunnyr83]

Dude i remember trying the Tech 1/chromie look like yours, not as tidy as yours though and i lowered it a tad tooo much.. was waiting to find some Tech 1 skirts but sold it before i found some!!





Is yours Royal blue?

[ali50ferrari]

Yh man mines royal blue, that looks nice man, how much did you lower it by,mine is 60mm shocks and springs, also why did you sell it? Mine takes loads of my time when cleaning it but having a garage helps alot! when are you coming back to e30s sunny?

[sunnyr83]

It was lowered on 60mm springs mate but had 14'' bbs, was looking for 15's. I had no plan in place to complete it then sold it (stupidley) to buy my old calypso saloon back!! Don't ask..

Want an e30 now!! Am looking but not properly till next year as a second car to the e36 or a daily...

[ali50ferrari]

Use d e36 as a daily n treat d e30 as a weekend mistress working towards that with mine! yh sometimes we do sell em and tink fook shouldnt have done that!!!

[ali50ferrari]

All i need is rear 40mm springs and rear black leather headrests (ADI) fix the seam thats ripped at the top on the seat the common one and my car is complete nothing missing no rust and a shit load of history!!!!!!

[sunnyr83]

You not gonna fit eyebrows? will finish it off nicely.
