    Cool E-30 stuff

    from urban dictionary.com

    1. FUH RAZE

    To modify your street car with go-fast race parts or other setups which hold little to no value to the driver, but is good for posing. This is especially popular in the BMW E30 community. Similar to rice, except trying to look like a track rat instead of a street racer.

    btw, it can be used sarcastically by people who are actually upgrading their stuff for good reasons in jest towards the people who do it solely for looks.

    Man I just deleted my high beams!!! And took out my passenger seat!

    Dude, that's so FUH RAZE!!!


    From Wikipedia.com

    The primary distinctive feature of the BMW E30 models produced for the North American market in 1984-1987 are the elongated front/rear chrome bumpers. These bumpers are commonly known as "diving boards." In 1988, the chrome bumpers were shortened by revising the cover/fillers and shortening the shocks. In 1989 the chrome bumpers were finally replaced with shorter black plastic bumpers. The later model plastic bumper can fit onto a 1988 E30 without any modifications. This is not the case with E30s older than 88. The original chrome bumpers can be tucked in by draining the bumper shocks and compressing them to shorten the bumper. This, however, in the event of a collision, removes the ability of the shocks to absorb impacts and transfers the force directly to the chassis, which is more likely to cause serious damage even in low-speed scenarios.

    just thought it was cool that the e30 sub culture was getting out there to the popular concious.

          Having go fast parts used incorrectly is what is meant, I believe. Such as having a boost gauge on a N/A car. That's an extreme example, but you get the point.

              And this is a good thing?

              "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                    "Fuh Raze" is putting a 1" splitter on your car and thinking it adds frontal downforce. :) ;)
