Apologies for the delayed reply.
Well the E21 is just a few weeks from completion now. Well when I say completion, what I mean is it'll be back on the street and finally able to attend some shows. Once there are a few miles on the engine I will bolt on the Jenvey throttle bodies and map to suit. I'm just waiting on some pics as I now live 300 miles from the workshop, but hopefully it won't be too long now.
Sadly my E30 M3 was rear ended, so that too is in the body shop. I've decided to use it as a reason to change the look slightly though, so there are new rims, KW3 coilovers and a full black leather interior coming.
I'll update properly soon, but here are a few pics I do have.
My current ride, with the V8.

Haven't posted updates for a while, but things are moving along.
Dash altered for gauges.
Stack are nice quality and the dash now looks much better.
Rad fitted and new senders installed.
NOS headlights and mounts. I've tried to find as many new parts as possible.
More progress yesterday and car is now in final primer.

Was busy sound deadening the inside of the bodyshell yesterday. I didn't go crazy and try to cover every square mm in Dynamat, but I did make sure all the floors, front and rear firewall and inside the doors were covered. Once the trimmer does his thing, it should make for a bit less road noise and a better sound from the speakers and sub.
I've released the dash and next job is to route the wiring for the auxiliary gauges. I have to delete a couple of fresh air vents but I much prefer the idea of having the gauges nearer my eye level. The E21 dash is a bit bland too, so these should make it look way better.
I also have an AC type centre console to restore. I don't have AC but these are rare in the UK and I just wanted something that was factory but different.

Big box arrived yesterday.
Shiny shiny!
www.jenvey.co.uk & www.dtafast.co.uk are owed a massive thank you for all their help!
The quality of this kit is awesome. I know that Jenvey make absolutely everything ''in house'' and cast their own manifolds etc, and the finish is superb. Excuse the phone pics as I don't think they do justice.
Just sat on top of the OE system, to get an idea of how it'll look. There certainly aren't any obvious clearance issues and hopefully we can run some longer velocity stacks once installed?
The kit comes complete with a linkage kit and cable
Will be running DTA standalone management.
Initially, will be running the M50 inlet and single TB, doing some dyno runs and then installing the Jenvey kit, to measure gains.
We're working hard to get finished within the next few weeks. The trimmer is coming today and hopefully going to get the interior sorted.Leave a comment:
