HOLY cold air intake!

Thanks guy's!

This is a project in progress and is now nearing completion! I finished the body about two years ago and since then have been busy with the engine!



I will upload more pictures tomorrow.

what is that connected to the turbo? looks like dryer vent javascript:emoticon(':laugh:')
just kiddin, man that is beautiful !

What is that thing?

Nice. I have a RHD 28 too so no how hard it must have been to figure out where the exhaust down-pipe was going to go.

The problem I have is the ABS block is in the way.

Well done. Would like to see some more pictures please

Yip, you have it right! Could not find enough space for the turbo down pipe at the rear of the engine bay as steering collumn takes up most of the space!! Hence I had to turn the turbo around and install this 100mm pipe to get cold air to the turbo! Please note that this is an installation in progress and many things can still change?? I will post another picture of the current set up!

Please note that this is a project in progress and this set up might change!!

I am in the chemical industry and by no means good at any mechanical work! I however wanted to do everything myself but almost gave up when it came to the turbo header! I however conquered!!
Welding the header in place.

Complete with the welding

Ceramic coated inside and outside.

abs pump can always be moved, on my e30 i needed room for the charge cooler

stuck the pump in the empty battery tray

It is a 100mm aluminium bend that I modified and polished!

Thanks a lot!!

The car two years ago!

More recent picture of the car! Will change the rims thought!!

She is off to Protune Devellopments for the final touches!

What a day!! Been trying to get the right wheels for the car!! Wanted BBS but the offset is a problem! Had to buy the second best!! Please give me your honest opinion??

Beautiful car, but not feeling it on the wheels. To modern looking for an E12.

Installed the exhaust today!

Dropped the suspension by 30mm.

The car and engine look awesome! I'm not really feeling the wheels. Maybe something more period correct would do the trick for me. Nice build though!

Changed the exhaust!
