Title: Omi - 318iS Scumball Chariot (UPDATED!)
Post by: Scumball on March 11, 2007, 06:15:26 PM
Hi, I'm Omi, from north-east UK...

This is my chariot:

She's in the process of getting a new engine and a few other mods...

I run a yearly driving event from the UK to the Nürburgring in cars worth no more than 1000UKP.

Can't think of anything else. Will get some better pics next time I wash the old girl!

Hard to tell from the pic but my guess is: front-OEM, rear-Mtech2, Side-Mtech1 or BBS or Zender.

That looks like a Mtech Bumper on a stock metal skirt

-Euro yellow main beams

-M-Tech II rear twin-deck spoiler
-Borbet "C" 16x7.5 rims
-Clear front indicators and side repeaters

Interior/ICE
-Blue cheque Recaro licenced sports seats
-M-Tech I steering wheel
-Leather M-Tech gear lever/gaitor.
-Sony crap headunit
-JBL/Kicker amps
-Kappa Infinity component speakers
-Dynaudio 12" sub in hooooge box

Mechanical
-Z3M short shifter conversion

Replacement engine is currently with the builders, awaiting my instruction. Needs some tinworm removed from rear valance and scuttle, then a blow over with a spraygun. Graphics will be going back on in time for this year's run to the Ring.

More pics will follow, but she's in the middle of repair work and not looking too special!

This was my trip to the shop the following day!

Nice pics but still waiting on the interior. ;)

It's the standard chequered Recaro-licenced interior, just in dark blue rather than the grey... I need to get it valeted before anyone sees pictures!

Yeah but we don't get that style over here in the states so it's exciting to see it. Just like US people goo-goo and ga-ga over Euro smileys when it's not big deal for you folks on the other side of the pond. ;)

In readiness for the rally next month, I thought I'd decorate a little. :D

Where did you get the Mtech-1 skirts? I'm trying to find a pair for my car, but they are a bit sparse in America :(

3 days' worth of vinyls... Wanted to get them right!

GodSpeed, keep your eye on eBay France and Germany... Crap ones come up sometimes, really good ones very rarely and they fetch quite a premium.

Gearhead, get yourself on e30zone.net, there's always someone selling a set.
