Whats the extra cooler for? And are you tracking it?

Not a fan of the e36 bumper but to each their own, love the colour and I can also see an intercooler behind the bumper so the question is, what motor and what turbo is it?

It's a 2.5 m20 tcd manifold/comp turbo t3/t4 hybrid. That extra coller is a oil cooler. I had to change front bumper when building it to fit it all in. Thought just as well fit the rest of the kit when it was sprayed up. It is a track and a weekend toy :D

Her in doors was pressuring me to have it sprayed with the kit not many woman appreciate the e30 styling!!!

Looks good James 8) Hopefully see it again this year at a Cheddar meet.
Is that Byrons workshop in the last pic? And where did you get the cage done?

Cheers james! No that's the spray shop in weston super mare "south west kustoms"

Yes I'm sure I'll be at the next local meet seems to be a annual meet

Cage is just bolt in, I wasn't sure on the colour to have the mirrors so left it to the chap doing the job, he resprayed all the trim black so it all matched.

It's nice to finally have a e30 with nice paint job a˜†

Space grey is a great looking colour, it does look very similar to Granite silver in those pics
