Talk about sitting on the fence.. but I like it with the tinted lights and without. Each look has it's own virtues.

Nice tints on the lights!!!! maybe in yellow?

I quite like the yellow tints too. I really just did this to check that I was going to prefer the singles look before going to all the hassle of swapping the lights over. I'm just waiting for some singles to come my way now...

Fitted the pedals from Hartge this morning.

Just got some little items to put in the rear quarter lights...

those pedals look awful, take them off.
whatever next? a ripspeed sun strip?

loving the exhaust tho! you got any underneath pics of it?

Posted: **Sun Oct 18, 2009 6:30 pm**

I think they look a bit better in the metal to be honest - not that anyone can see them anyway.

I'll get some pics of the exhaust once I get the car on the ramp. They have made a great job of it though. Especially where it goes up over the rear near the diff. They've managed to keep a good size bore where the standard system is really restrictive.

did they crush down the pipe to get over the diff or put it into 1 pipe?

Posted: **Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:05 pm**

I'll get a picture but no they managed to do it without any crushing of the pipe - or so they said anyway.

An early Christmas present came my way today....

Mosselman m20 turbo kit

I need to have the turbo rebuilt and there's no rush but, hopefully, I'll be able to get the kit fitted within the next 12 months. Meanwhile, I actually collect it next week and can start a leisurely refurb'

It's a relatively low boost system and not mega power but it'll just be a bit different I guess.

mark, you know you should have got the pedals for the E30 cos theses pedals somehow dont look right mate, they are for the E36 i think and as you can see they are not shaped to the pedal as its of cut on one side and it seems like you have bolted them over the rubber where you have to take the rubber off to bolt them, otherwise your gonna feel the pedals raised up more.. my pedals below how i mean it should look. and are for the E30 ..
