SPOONU - E30 318is project
« Reply #15 on: July 16, 2009, 10:37:30 PM »
Bit of an update. Had a new mini traded in at work so i borrowed its wheels overnight. Pity they are front wheel drive offset, i think they looked pretty good.


I have also installed a new set of soundstream splits in the front. Woofers in the kick panel and tweeters in some sails from an m3(?), not sure on that one, we never got them over here though.

I plan on fibre glassing a nice smooth panel around it.


Final thing i just completed was a Z4 3.0 short shifter and freshen up of the shifting linkage. Gotta recommend this to everyone. Though i will say Z4 3.0 will probably be too notchy for most.


(note: shift arm not bent yet in this pic and both it and the rear mount are upside down)

the end result.

Im also making a COP kit for myself. One of the good things about working for a bmw dealership is the parts lying around, i got the coils for free. :) Just have to make the plate to hold them.

Let me know what you think.

I have been having a few thoughts about going turbo instead. I think ill get every thing set up with the super charger then maybe change over to turbo with more boost. :)

Yes, sounds good, but why not twincharge it, just go all the way and ad turbo, make the most of it.
