Seeing as it's only a week till 2011, I wondered what plans people had for the new year, concerning their e21?

Hopefully, I'll have the TWR back on the road for the first time in 20 years.

I'm also thinking that maybe I should fit standalone engine management and supercharge my orange car?

I would like to put my e30 back on the road as my daily driver(after 6 years in storage) so that i can get rid of the horrid citroen picasso i am currently driving and then i would like to get my e21 to the point where i can at least drive in and it out of my garage to work on it as it as been in the same lock up since 1996 and of the road since 1989 ...i dare not think how much the garage rent has cost me since 1996.....all the best for the new year everyone!!!...edd..

get my e21 back on the road after the engine swap. maybe a roll cage, for sure stainless exhaust. gonna try my hand at autocross. hope everyone has had an awesome holiday season so far and a great new year is in store for all

Finish my 323i and drift it, the end.

I vow to have started at least 2 e21's restorations, ideally have one finished but I do have a lot of other cars I need to finish first, but who knows?

Finish the bottom welding so i can install my Kjet system and put in a new interior with audio, get a anti-rust treatment and someday in 2011 a new stainless steel exhaust system since the supersprint is getting old. But first drive it a lot since i haven't got to that much since purchase .

Get my e21 back on track peferiable by the 4th april for a track day at Spa (circuit days)

Are there any spaces on the Spa track-day Jason?

Go to some shows, n drive round in the warm with the sunroof open and with the tunes up.

maybe I might fit some shiny stuff and a little more power!

We have a busy schedule in Holland for 2011 already but the highlight will be the Alps Tour 2011 in june.
Also the second sharknose meeting will be held in june.

Personal E21 changes are repairing my lsd and fitting my new retrimmed Marine blue cloth recaro's.
And then drive as much as possible in this wetland.

This year. . . . .

FInish plumbing in new radiator.
Get the car running again.
Fit rear calipers
Get welding done for M.O.T.
Get it roadworthy and keep it that way!

New handbrake cables/shoes

New throttle cable

New shocks/springs/bushes all round

New seats

Dinatrol'd

Bit of light welding behind back seats

Get paint either pofessionally buffed or think about a respray..

Keep looking for rebuilt M10.

Ugh.. List goes on and on and on.

Sort out my leaking exhaust manifold.

Fit some tunes.

Lower it a tad.


Get stuck into my new E30 convertible project.

Er...actually use it for once probably

Sun roof & window seals. Alternator, carb, front pipes, wheels refurbed and im thinking bout selling me recaro's and re-doing the original seats in leather. I either need to get it all sorted and use it or slap some sense into myself and sell it.

I will be finishing the bits of wiring on my Baur, fitting propshaft and exhaust, rubbing it down, getting it painted, fitting trim/bumpers banging a set of wheels on it and getting an MOT - hopefully in the next couple of months. I had planned to get most of it done for Christmas but the freezing weather put paid to that. It will have to be finished for my Birthday in March now!
