Hey Gerrit, I live 2km from Zolder, so I drive in and out most of the time. If you are in Zolder the next time, give me a call so you can come to my place for a chat and a drink
Cya!

little update. In the beginning I rebuilded my stainless steel Scorpion E30 exhaust to fit the E21. But It was to loud (because of the cheap stainless steel silencers in the back) Now the sound is great with an centre 325i silencer.
As you can see, no great update, but the sound now is amazing! For me, one of the best changes till now.
Cya!
Ordered some parts, so will be continued

I also painted the platework under the doors in Alpine Weiss, so the contrast with the front bumper was smoother
before:
after:
next step: engine
the cambelt was already 7 years on the engine (only 30.000kms) so it was time to replace this one. The camcover sealings where also leaking and I was tyred off still cleaning up the polished one, so I replaced it with a red one and new sealing. Also new oil and filter, new Bosh WR7DC's and a new alternator belt.

Moved the BMC air filter from the front of the grille into the grille
before:
after:

Next step, traction! I noticed that traction really was a problem for my M20B27 so a Limited slip differential was a must have. But the prices off these things where secondhand so expensive I decided to buy the good stuff and all new!
Quaife ATB limited slip differential:
original diff removed from the housing:
original vs Quaife:
I must say, best improvement on the car till now!
