I didn't realise saying "liner" was chav these days, oh well.

My god the job done smoothing the bonnet is awesome!

Rest of the car is ok as well...

sideways.taff · 22-09-2008, 11:59

Wired in now. Just waiting for one sensor and soldering the terminals on the military spec bulkhead connector. I've spec'd up the cooling system pipe work, hopefully I'll have everything I need to be able to fire this up at the weekend.

Brooksie · 23-09-2008, 23:31

are you on the bmw forums pal ? ... what do they make of it ?

sideways.taff · 24-09-2008, 00:31

Nope, I've not been on any BMW forums yet lol. I've registered on e30zone but not posted on there much.. I might post a few pics up and maybe a video if it fires this weekend

ren_juanjo · 24-09-2008, 00:38

they'll find reason to hate it!

sideways.taff · 24-09-2008, 00:59

The wheels..

MJG · 24-09-2008, 07:20

Despite it being amazing and far superior to 90% of their cars, they will call it "council" or complain about the theoretical upset to the weight distribution (as if they can even tell being pussy road drivers).

Awesome work Bryn, I'll be posting that pump today all being well.

Cheers Mike.

These last bits and pieces are costing me a fortune (all because of my brain aids!). I've got red samco hose here in the garage that I bought for the GTR but I somehow can't bring myself to use it because it wouldn't go with the black pipework everywhere else on the car.. FFS! Sometimes I get angry at myself!

Ah well. She'll be miiinnnttt.

gaz_moose · 24-09-2008, 10:50

look at the exhaust manifolds taff
just look at them
they look like they came off the titanic.

sideways.taff · 24-09-2008, 10:53

I know Gaz... they're only on there for a while.. this little beasty will get turbo'd

seaser · 24-09-2008, 11:41

beautifull job ^^

MJG · 24-09-2008, 12:03

Bryn, I got all my hoses/joiners from Viper Performance for £150 but if you are serious about promotion work then they'll give you 10% refund per event you attend upto maximum of 50%. Tell them I recommended you too

**James** · 24-09-2008, 12:12

Awesome car

You very clearly have disease in your brain

+1 for Viper performance hoses

sideways.taff · 30-09-2008, 20:43

Enginebay is all wired finally!

Here's what the loom looked like pre-wrapping and pre-connector soldering

The engine bay pretty much all sorted apart from the cooling system hoses that I'm waiting for. (does anyone have an S13 or similar radiator cap they want to donate to the cause, doesn't need to be a fancy pants one, just one that'll stop the water splashing around out the front of the car!!)

Doglegged the wand because I couldn't get 5th because of the modified linkage. I can now reach all gears whilst strapped in tight and the handbrake doesn't hit the gearlever anymore.. note the pimp quaife gearknob haha.

Some paint

elation · 30-09-2008, 23:22

Aboslutely amazing!! Love it.

The one thing that keeps making me smile every time i see it its the panel in the centre console marked "Switch Panel". The one just below the panel with all the switches on it. Change of heart?

Top work.

sideways.taff · 01-10-2008, 00:26

Its where I'll have my MP3 player in the end and where I'll fit my turbo related gadgets when that time comes.

Mason · 01-10-2008, 00:44

Perfection dude, can't wait to see it...or hear it!
