(OO==[][]==OO) My Calypso e30 project..

[E30Kop]

Love your car buddy.

I too have a calypso red 2 door. Didnt like it at 1st but it grew on me & when the sunshine hits it...there not many colours that could top it.

But I think that rear end needs some finishing off...she looks a lil naked

[Chris_B86]

Always liked the car, but never saw what it wwas like when you got it, didn't realise it was pov spec, what a transformation! Excellent work

[kangman]

Quick update with the pics i have

Last years look







This year im going for something different

So far
M52 engine conversion
e36 m3 6speed box
carbon fibre bonnet
hella smoked headlights

[Rav335uk]

You need a bigger pillow to sit on.

[MadE30mike]

perfect i want this car! carbon bonnet looks shite tho

[SteSE]

Nice! What flywheel / clutch combo you use for the 6sp box. I was chatting to some guy running a e36 6sp on M50 and he was running m30 flywheel but he lost me with technical speak. I think he was running that flywheel so he could run a better clutch?

Also what rear diff ratio are you using?

[Adam_E30]

Looks sweet! Miles better lowered too!

[Fastroad]

Car looks nice but on the wall about the carbon bonnet

[bss325i]

Carbon does not work with Calypso.

[kangman]

I dont think carbon works with any colour, its more a marmite thing. Either your a fan of it or your not.

SteSe not sure on the flywheel but the ratio im running is 3:25

[bss325i]

Carbon works well with blacks, greys and silvers.

Its not a marmite thing, I'm a fan of carbon but not with calypso. Just does not work.

[lyricalnut02]

the carbon bonnet looks kool kangman, motors looking mean.

[faze30]

Looking good bro.

[sweep]

Im after one for mine

[M-Sport]

Seen this in the flesh a few weeks ago and it really is stunning

[sajad09]

Why is it that when ever look at a calypso e30 in the flesh i dont like the colour but when i look at zoners cars here they look lush...

Are there differnt shades/ paint codes for calypso red?

Or is it the fresh paint job that makes them look so good?

[Justin325i]

Calypso and sunlight just go so well together

[blackE30indy]

Looking nice dude,I'm thinking of a carbon bonnet too,
If I had a coupe,I would get the bootlid aswell
Think you could do with a bigger profile tyre on the front

Thought i'd update my build thread with the new look..

[NickE30singh]

Hubcaps FTW

[lyricalnut02]

what colour is that mate?

[kangman]

Battleship grey

[appletree]

Wrap or paint? Would look good with e34 throwing stars or BBS turbo fan wheels
