Two-tone paintjob:p
Aluminum pulleys (crank/waterpump/alternator)
Lighter flywheel
Ported&polished head

As for weight reduction so far i've lost about 100kg.

Waiting for paint reparations.


Paintjob will be like this.

That looks very hot.
I had in my mind also to paint black from the sideline (no gray tho). I also have a VT from a while back about it at home. I think it suits very nicely for e30. I have to change plans i guess, two too similar cars. :D
My German re-painted paint is slowly chipping off the original paint, and it needs to be repainted at some point (2009).

Ha ha :)...in that case i'm happy that i posted this pic. I just love this paint scheme. But you can do something opposite to that by painting upper section black, would be quite interesting...By the way, next week i'l get 2 sets of aluminum and one set of polyurethane transmission mounts , and soon should have engine mounts, and shock mounts. Want one set?

Yes, sure. Hit me with the prices in pm.
I need the aluminium shock mounts badly. Differential breaks the original parts in about one day. :P

Looking really good. By the way i'm also getting adjustable camber/caster plates.

As for process, half of the car is ready for painting, little bit sanding to do. Hopefully will get it painted next weekend.



My car will be painted by a good friend, who is real pro in this business. Here is his latest design Golf. Custom hood, grille, spoiler and of course custom paint.

Why dont you want to use M-tech II bumpers set from http://www.tuning.lv ? You can drop-off a lot of weight with them..

I had this plan, but not for this year(limited budget). Next year will do it.
Some of next years plans:
Rollcage? 50/50
M-tech 2 front/rear(only lower part)
Stroker engine
Racing clutch
Aluminum flywheel
Upgraded brakes
