hello all, its my e28
glad most of you like it, i love how its turned out and not gonna change much.
heres another picture now we removed the inner headlight...
thats me
just a young, relatively non-satanic lad. but the car gets spanked and i havent even had chance to properly play with it yet since i dont want this one to overheat and blow!
me and my mate topi (who posted up the car on miniresource) whipped out the inner headlight and ducted up the £8.50 cone filter
because my initial attempt of re-routing the AFM AND filter and extending the AFM wiring etc, seemed a bit dodgy because i just used halfords chav duct to do it, and the car had a missfire which we thought was associated to it not being a very good seal.. we were wrong but missfire went when we drove the car letting the ECU map itself
i need to connect up a temperature gauge and do oil/filter change, then put some coolant in rather than just water. then i think she should be good to go
im worried at every rattle and noise
but then i comfort myself in the fact that the engine is close to 20 years old, and has mechanical followers which probably need a tweak of adjustment to get quiet.
ive got 7... mims 16x8 et10.
4.. bmw z3m coupe rears, 17x9 et8
and ant2 is kindly lending me his borbets, of which there are a pair of 17x10 et20
and 4.. 16x9 et12 or something.
unfortunately the borbet 16s dont fit on the front as they foul the steering tie-rod, and the 17x10s are only about 2mm away from the trailing arm on the rear! hahha.. and they hit the arches bad on the left i need to hammer it more.
thanks for all the compliments, a LOT of time has gone into it but only about £2200 total
so its a budget performance car. i wrote a list of all the mods il put them up tommorow as im at my girlfriends house at the moment.
oh, performance BMW magazine feature pending too ;) and check out redline mag (wouldnt normally say that!) as theres a few pages of stavros and renton "tramp drifting" up at crail with jeek one of the other creators of
www.trampdrift.com
il hopefully be at the D1 drift comp at silverstone on the 20th of august in the bmw if anybody wants to pop by, i should be on the trampdrift stand were having there (to show people cheap drifting rather than all this adjustable suspension arm and big spoiler bollocks), or i might be drifting on the practice area nearby but this hasnt been confirmed yet.
cheers! sorry for the ramble i got carried away
