Fantastic looking bay, lovely and clean and uncluttered :D and yellow too :D


IF anyone likes engine bay shots in general and doesnt mind if they are BMW or not then click these links, but if you are only interested purely in E30 then please dont as they are of my ford engine bay and i know that will make some people have nightmares on this forum, LOL

My engine bay is VERY tidy, though I think it makes many people suspicious when they are looking to buy a car...

Would show a pic, but the fact there is 2 inches of snow on the bonnet and its FREEZING cold kinda stops me popping out to get a pic...

Sweet looking engine bays, but I've never seen the blue paper towel mod
before, is this expensive and what BHP gain is there to be had from this?

I was just making sure i didnt drop any nuts and bolts down there when i was building it, lol



318-is, integra's handling is fantastic depsite which set of wheels they are driving, but nowhere near as much fun on a wet roundabout as an E30 :D

has that e30 has the welds polished out in the engine bay too? every e30 i've seen has obvious welds round the suspension turrets....bloody hell fantastic job if so. i like it when the wires, etc, are hidden like on that engine bay!

for more pictures of that lovely motor simply change the number before the .jpg at the end of the web address. there's some things i like about it and some i don't - the rear wheels look like they have too much negative camber from the straight on shot. i don't care for the interior too much either. i do like the front wing vents though....
