Will put up better pictures when it's all sorted.
Really happy with it
Looking well dude!!
very cool , looks amazing!
wow thats a nice color going from your pics....get some good digital camera pictures up. hard to make it out properly. are you going to be running no back bumper on it? would look cool with a hardtop roof.
Thats bad ass :)
Long overdue update tho iv not really done a whole lot with.
Tidied up the rear end and fitted powerflex bushes.
Fitted aem wideband meter still running a little rich but not bad have a adjustable fuel pressure regulator on the way.
Sorted the wiper fuse blowing ended up being the wiper motor so sorted that and put it back in good as new.
Few more safety items like arm restraints extinguishers and external kill switch.
Sorted the exhaust out using two flowmaster silencers... brought it from 129.8Db down to 102Db and still kept the rumbles.
New rear brake hoses and copper lines.
Need to fit a new power steering pump should have it next week
Need to get camber arms but funds are low at the minute so I did the unthinkable and raised the car to sort the camber out a little bit for the time being.

Serious car lad, always liked the idea of a m60'd e36.
Cheers man, it's something iv wanted for years so finally went for it. Should be mostly done next weekend, in time for its first outing, the iadc licence day not the best time to hop into a new build but sure it will be awesome to finally drive it.Quote:

thoughts and opinions welcome
ts done ..... almost
pretty sure its mechanically sound now but i guess il know for sure monday.
I think the RF Bodyworx vinyl could have been worked into the main graphic a bit better, they contrast too much as it is. Good effort though.
if im honest i think the whole lot came out pretty poor.Quote:

I just slapped them on for the time being to give me an idea and maybe changes to make for when i get them re-done.
So im ready to go test the car hopefully it holds up and takes a bit of hardship whilst i try to get comfortable with it and ultimately i get used to drifting again. Half practice day in my mates car and a couple of doughnuts before loading the e36 up yesterday is as much drifting iv done since 2012 and i wasnt so good back then.
i'm really looking forward to getting in this car on monday, its a massive step up from the 323i i used in 2012.

Had a few minor problems on the day, so these problems coupled with my lack of talent (mainly lack of talent) are my excuses for not driving well.
My brakes need a bit of attention had a job to get the hydro working on the day and when it did work it needed a fair tug to lock up so il skim the discs and put in new pads.
Anybody recommend a decent upgrade over oem brake pads??
Also my powersteering pump decided it didn't want to work after literally 2 minutes, I had a second hand pump fitted as new ones were hard to find and about 600e.
No way am I paying that for a pump so I'm going to piece together an electric system using a pump from a c4, c-max or something must look into it a bit more first.
Apart from those two small issues the car is way better to drive than I expected.
Will lower it more and change out the front springs for 14kg ones.

Pic from licence day
ah pity dude :( At least there are plenty of practice days and feeder series in the country to compete in! Car looks wicked
have ebc reds in my own serious stoping power
Looks class man. Electric powersteerin pump from a 00 astra is what u want. Loads of lads running them
Thanks for the comments lads.
So iv booked in to tynagh on the 8th get a bit more driving done, hopefully with no problems :)
Haven't done anything with the brakes as yet,
I have fitted an electric powersteering pump from an astra all plumbed and mounted, just need to wire it up properly and heat shield it.
As the original pump is removed I have a shorter belt to go on but needed to modify the tensioner so I removed the self tensioner and will replace the spring with a solid stainless unit so that should see it all finished and running.
It's a pretty straight forward swap most awkward thing was making a mount for it.
While I was at the tensioner I decided I'd make up a new gear lever as the current one was a bit last minute, not that user friendly and a bit shit looking.
That's pretty much where it's at right now.

Astra pump fitted
Excellent work done here and looks great..
Spent a few hours at this today.
Sorted out some of the niggly bits that annoyed me and degrease the engine bay after a power steering pipe decided to let go.
It was running a bit lean after the last day out so had a look into it, vacuum hose had cracked, replaced it and it was on the button luckily as my knowledge is limited.
Took a pic aswell that I liked so I said I'd post it
