Too much too soon?

Anyway little story about my day today.

first take old instrument cluster apart and test fit Stack..

ok, make plate to fit stack in middle.. using old speedo face.

and test fit with it

then the instrumentcluster it self..

and test fit. BOOM on the money!

Testing the "demo mode"

And then demomode off (tested the tacho on the black benz)


After that i did install the headliner to the project benz..


Tight fit but its there.

What does it show? Temp? Boost? Pressure? Speed? Weed?

Nice build dude!, coming along nicely good to see your doing your own fab work,
I was going to put a turboed m50 in my e30, but half decent euros are costly and hard to come by here in Aus, Subd awaiting further updates

It shows, Water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, boost pressure, laptime, 0-100 time, 400m time, speed, trip, odometer. what more could you want? oh yea the weed, it wont show nearest dealer

Its only way togo doing own fab work You guys dont have E36 or E34's ? pull M50 out of those ealry models had the non vanos version, super easy. just get new pistons, rods, bolts and a athena gasket and you are good up around 600whp

We do have 34's and 36's and I have a really good hook up for parts but euros arent cheap and most people that bought them from the dealer were yuppies and drive autos
ive done a bit of looking bout ,and found a high k's manuel e36 but they are asking 4.5-5k
ive just thought I might just import a jxz90 half cut out of a chaser and have a easy 220kw
but to be honest im still in the air with it all

Ok today i remembered to take camera with me to garage and ive been busy this week as im on vacation.

Trunk pieces installed. not all yet..

More of interrior fitted, also central locking wirings are done for good.

Ecu mounted into glovebox.. it was real hard to find suitable place.. but this seems ok, i can still fit my sunglasses and car papers there.. all i need in there

More photos of test fitting dash..

Better pics of the headliner..



Then back what happened today... some glass plasting parts and painting brake calipers..


these are going to be painted as well.. but in neat future..

Yes full interrior, also im going to make the Sparco seats with same fabric as the merc seats.. but that in some future as the fabric is pretty expensive..

Other that the full interrior looks money cars like this.(my opinion)

Yes car is going to be used on street and various tracks(1/4 mile, 1mile, round tracks)

In the end this going to be 2.0 version of the first benz i made and ive clocked around 40k on that one.

drroooollll, like it a lot, especially the creative way of fitting in a stack, good job

[Exami]

Maybe you could blacken your roof / headliner with some black shoe polish.

Just look at this:

... well i was thinking of making it from black Alcantara, but as im broke as fuck i use the original, On BMW parts it is possible to use those as they are "fluffy", on W201 its like this cheap plastic wrap(fake leather) kinda material.

So i dont think the shoe polish would work. for the most part im trying to go for the oem look, W201 never had black headliner from factory that is. the one i have is from black interrior and its same color as mine were with the black interrior and the one i have on the other benz :p

But maybe in some distant future all interrior is alcantara as i like it alot but its 175€/m and the headliner itself would take 1.5m so ~260€ for alcantara only after that some custom work to be done.
