So its been a crazy time! Been out and about but managed to fire off a few pics.
Ran into some troubles trying to diagnose the issue of the overheating. Previous owner did a piss poor job of replacing the water and themostat.
During this time, I have to thank first of all George for spending virtually his cake eating time on it! Joy also for her patience whilst we worked on it. Mark and Tracey for popping along. :) Kav and Leo especially for their input and nerdyness.
My Clio which I will miss vs the new motor

Hard to see but HID's in there. They work damn well from my drive just now!

After plenty of cake (Thanks Tracey and Mark ;)) A few pizza's and a few annoyed partners its finally on the road.
I cant thank George enough for spotting such a sweet example of such a rare find.
All I need is the EvoT stickah!

George seems to find amazing rides to say the least.
Was an insanely tight budget but glad we got it running.
Seats are great, just couldnt figure out reverse. :( Thanks George for that too!

Its pretty much standard body wise but ill try and post what I remember.
- 50mm drop
- M6 rep rims
- Scorpion exhaust system (which gave me a headache to start with)
- Replaced entire cooling system due to age
- Standard airbox fitted as the K&N was a bit of a cowboy job.
- Custom interior (retrimmed to a pale blue and creme)
No audio at the moment so all stock in that dept too.
Ill sort out a proper shoot after this weekend, bit of a crazy one so one thing at a time. :)

Nice shots Mitesh!! It was a long journey but we got there in the end with the help of the guys you mentioned.
I'll just add to your list if you dont mind.
- 50mm drop
- M6 rep rims
- Scorpion exhaust system (which gave me a headache to start with)
- Replaced entire cooling system due to age
- Complete service
- Standard airbox fitted as the K&N was a bit of a cowboy job.
- Custom M3 Vader interior (retrimmed in a blue alacantra and creme leather)
- Original M3 Front and rear bumpers and side skirts and rear boot spoiler
- Front and rear Black diamond drilled and grooved disc
- M3 Mirrors
- Full HiD front light conversion
All Audio equipment was scrapped and given back to the seller as it was ..well crap, we knew Mitesh has all the audio gear but hopefully we have persuaded him to leave the 10 foot by 10 foot bass box out of the beemer:D ( want the enjoy what power you have there Mitesh:) )
As he says it an ongoing project and I'm sure he will put his own special touches to it and make it even better. I for one with the help of Leo and the others have learned alot from this project and greatful that Mitesh and his patience with us has extended my ever increasing knowledge in the E36 model :)

Which is the biggest thing I found about this forum. Crazy amounts of knowledge and loads of grease monkeys! Really appreciate everyone who helped prior to purchase and after.
I return the favour with photos. :cool:

Congratulations dude! So happy for you and all those involved, think Swiss has spent more time on this than all my cars he has worked on added together - :p Top job George, Leo, Kav and others involved
I managed to see it in the flesh and it does look great, the interior is mint and surprised Swiss didn't remove it for the tourer :rolleyes:
Enjoy it mate, sure there will be loads of your touches to go on there, leave the 50" sub out of the car though :eek: and look forward to seeing it at the next meet!
Have to agree with Mark - this is a top Forum, top cars, top people all up for a bit of banter, and someone always prepared to help
(Tracey - save me some cake please - i don't eat as much as George, Marcel or Mark!)
Cheers guys
Well Mahana, I kinda owed ya lot since you lot at the locals. Should have popped down to see Mega.
Damn straight you should have!!! I'm not free now for a couple of weeks :(
Congrats dude, seriously. Glad you got past the overheating problems.. I was told about it all back at the pod. Had to sit on the fact for a few weeks and hope you could get it running ;)
that looks proper nice congrats mate.
Lovely car Teshi, could choice :D
Mitesh
11-10-2009, 06:53 PM
Cheers all. I have a few ideas that I wanna finish with it, first things first is get used to it.
Really does turn heads. Not sure the exhaust note has anything to do with it. :)

Yeah, once you find the reverse gear. To be honest, the Clio is due for a service very soon, I dont think it will have more than a few more days drive with me. :)
Teshi you never did phone me, drop me a line tomorrow if its still an issue - as its the only day I'm available next week - off for 4 days on business and phone will be off..
If its sorted then no problem though :)

Damn, I knew I forgot to do something! Ill give you a call around lunchtime.
Putted a reminder on my phone now to call you. :rolleyes: Love you ^_^
Car looks good Mitesh, I saw it it bits on Georges drive many times, but im glad it all sorted now and your happy with the result.
Did someone mention cakes? Quick hide them before George nicks them again!
I know other people have said this, but this Forum and its members go out of their way to help other people and its greatly appriciated. Glad i joined up and made some good friends. And also eaten some good cake!

Nice one mitesh! Looks a like a lovely modded example.
One thing i would say is, either change the yellow bulbs to silver ones, or change the indicators to the OEM ones.

Im thinking OEM to be honest. Ill do a photoshop and see what works.

Well I need to think about a list of what I want. Defo needs a simple audio package.

car looks heavy! personally if i had the cash spare and it was my car i would do a re-trim on the interior...otherwise looks the part.
Very nice Tesh. And glad to see the forum doing its bit as usual (getting stuck in to help a member out).
I do agree with Sonny, the interior is looking a little tired compared to the exterior. Needs a re-trim...
