So finals ended wednesday for me, and I had no classes until my May semester starts up this coming Tuesday. Unfortunately I was busy with moving my girlfriend back to her house, as well as packing up and moving out a lot of my stuff, helping people fix their cars etc, but finally found some time today. Started by tearing out some of the interior, the carpet and old seats. And then cleaned up and organized the rest of the interior and trunk. Didn't manage to get any after shots before it got dark, so I'll grab some tomorrow. Also the trunk got a little kick now
















Now the fun part!



I didn't get before pictures, but I picked up some of the cheaper Corbeau fixed backs in black, and e30 sliders.



Took the bottom hex bolts out to put the sliders on







The sliders are really nice, like my last set. A lot of the base is painted in a textured black coat.









So I through those on








Now the issue. The harness holes in the neck area are MUCH smaller than the ones which were on my old Corbeau recliners, which meant sliding them through was a hassle. Only found one way in which each side would fit through.











Then I bolted the side mounts for the harnesses up.








And finished product, this is the passenger side, so the harness is a little beat up. I'll have pics of them in the car tomorrow

I actually haven't, thanks!

And you can look into Track.One in Middle Tennessee. They did that whole build. All they do is A+ work on every vehicle that comes in their shop.

Great! If you have not seen this before, then take a look: http://www.euroaddiction.net/forum/m...-ls1-swap.html

[Mr. Pedobear]

Haha, I've never once considered it

Before summer is over it will finally have a cage, as well as front splitter, canards and rear spoiler.

I appreciate the kind words though! Just not the direction I'm going in, though I would love to make a sleeper 5.0 e30 one day. All stock, down to springs etc.

My man, my bro, have you considered going down the OEM route as far as body modifications? The car is absolutely fantastic! I just can't help but think how great it would be to see an all original (appearing) e30 (sans motor) would be...

Also found these pics from the EuroGeeks April Fools meet thanks to my friend Rob(I forget your name on here, man!)

A few things. I noticed my passenger side rad support was starting to fail. You can see the plastic washer cracked , and the bolt was starting to pull through. Not want to lose my whole cooling system on a large bump, I went and spent $2 on some new bolts from Home depot.



before







And after








Got a new tach for my birthday(the current one has been dead for months), and I also picked up a cheap fan from walmart that I'm going to mount inside. Because, well, inconvenientcar.








Threw on the OSTDyno sticker Micah gave me.







Then spent $1.75 and used the do-it-youself car wash down the street from school. She's looking shiny.









During tuning, I managed to loose one of the pins to my $10 APC hood pins, so I took that as a sign to dig these bad boys out and see if I could mount them. $50 each and NHRA rated to 200mph+. Should do the job.

[M.Doban]

Stuart! You didn't post any numbers! Sad.

The car seriously sounds so mean now. Love iiiiiiiit

[FunfGang]

How about dem exhaust bandaids!

Didn't even use them

28 pages is a long read lol
Well done buddy!

Thank you!

Just thought I'd drop back in, check the awesome progress, and say thank you. Your car has been popping up in Google searches all evening for me when looking at 225/45 tires on 15x8s. There is literally no angle this car doesn't look the business in.

Appreciate the kind words so much! Haha, and glad my wheel and tire combo could be of help

Let's see them numbers bress.

Come on, Stuart, post the numbers and video!

I know what they are... Mwuhahahaha...

Seriously though, give us videos Stuart!

Got the car loaded up,

And some videos. Sorry for Photobucket's absolutely terrible quality... It's almost embarrassing.








And the dyno sheet:








Lastly I want to give a big shout out to OSTDyno in the Pittsburgh area. They tuned the car quickly and so well, it feels completely different and 10x better. Even fed me! Haha. But seriously, check them out if you ever need dyno or email tunes, they're the real deal. Just check out the Testimonial and Customer Cars section on their website!
