I also got my first magazine feature for my e30 from Solo Auto Magazine. Pretty cool to finally have my dream of having my car in a magaizine come true nevermind front cover!
Check out the online article and order a copy!

Its only fitting that you updated this thread tonight...I received my copy of Solo's first printed issue today and read the article on your car.

Good work man.

so im finally making some progress,ive bought everything i need to finish the turbo build except for the Miller War chip, MAF and injectors.
I ended up going with a Garrett 57mm turbo and for a wastegate went with a Tial 38mm. Both are V-Banded.
Im trying to make the front end removable so i made a new cross brace that bolts on and off.

onto pics




Cleaned up the motor and gave it some color






lined up the front end

ran all the oil lines, i had to relocate the oil filter to the other side of the bay, but everything is mounted in place.




Did a test paint of the color i want to do, plan is to make it a little bit darker

any pics of the front strut clearance? its gotta be close, Im still trying to figure out how im gonna fit 8's all around on mine without any rubbing issues or body mods (besides a good rolling)

the wheel hits the front strut so i ground it down just a bit. it barley clears so i need a 2mm spacer

I like that your daily is fitted/lowered more than half the cars on here.

Yea i cant stand driving a stock car so i had to..

those wheels look pretty fucking awesome, been waiting soo long to see how it actually looked. Can't wait to see how this build unfolds! I used to have the exact same Civic as a daily, now I have a shitty 98' Civic coupe completely stock to drive while I build my '02

I wasnt sure how they were gonna look but im very happy with them.
