[Queef|Chief]

Thanks guys.

Had to order new back plates for the trailing arms as the ones that came with them were a bit worst for wear, so they were binned and replaced with new.





New shocks vs old shocks



New top mounts



Fitted with reinforcement plates



Rear anti roll bar powder coated with new drop links



Everything fitted with new brake shoes and handbrake cables




My favourite piece of kit is the short shift kit. It comprises of the active autowerkes shift arm, z3m shifter and uuc double selector rod.

Old vs SSK



Also to help with the SSK, I got this.

I must ask, who made that shift knob? It looks really nice...

[LoganT]

looks really nice!

[bhups]

Cheers guys. Its a storm motorwerks gear knob

On to some engine work.

Needed a new thermostat, housing and water pump. Upgraded to a m50 manifold and 750 master cylinder to accommodate the bigger brakes. Sent my ECU off to DanThe to get the ews delete and map.
















I drove the car for the first time at Dips' garage after almost two years! I am running 215 40 17 but it rubs quite a bit on the rear arches and the front inner arches so have ordered 205 40 17 to help that.

So good to see it all back in one piece!

[bhups]

Cheers man!

Lovely looking little thing. E30 just like this made me fall in love with BMW quite a few years back...

As much as I **** chrome I think it deserves nice chrome grills?

Apart of that it's looking amazing!

[bhups]

Cheers mate and you're right about the grills, I plan on putting the chrome ones back on.

We've changed the tyres to Toyos proxes 205/40s, they look and fit much better!
