Smallish update!

Ok not too much of an update but a little one before the beast went into hibernation.

I've always wanted a set of bullseye headlights and I finally found a set for sale for a good price and in amazing condition!

So I put bought them and got them on as soon as I could 8)

Image

Image

Image

Then I went to a little mini meet:

Image

Image

Image

and that's prob going to be it for a while as the winter has set in :roll:

Hope everyone has a good x mas and looking forward to another show year with the E30 in 2017! :thumb:

Update time

Winter hibernation is nearly at an end and I've just started getting the beast ready for show season again..

I saw this scorpion DTM exhaust come up recently at a very good price so thought why not, I've always loved the sound of scorpions and thought it will do until I can get something custom made.

It came up for a good price as the owner clearly thought it was past its best..

But I thought different 8)

As I bought it..

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

After a bit of elbow grease..

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The end product..

Image

Image

Image

Image

Fitment..

Image

Image

Image

Image

Also made this as people have been giving me stick over the DTM style..says it all really :wink:

Image

I also got myself another Storm Motorwerks gearknob as they are the best in the business!

I missed the crisp smooth gear changes with them and I always regretted selling mine with my old car so here it is...again lol

Image

Plenty more to come 8)

I think they suit the Tech I's more than the Tech II's

I'll be honest I love the noise they produce! :o:
