Suspension dial in such as camber, caster, rear toe, sway bar settings, etc... It's pretty straight forward to install parts but when they come with adjustments it's harder to make them work to your advantage. Feel free to use my car as a test mule.

After a BUNCH of time spent on a road race autox forum, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BOTHER WITH THIS IMO.

Taurus sideskirts.
Electrical tape shadowline.
Spraypaint on the taillights.
Ignoring basic maintenence.
Spraypainting your engine block while in the car.
Spraypainting your IS lip a different color from the rest of the car, while on the car and not masked.

There's a start. Know your audience.

What fluids does the e30 have that aren't extremely simple? And aren't they all covered by the Bentley anyway?

The blinker fluid is pretty tough to figure out the first time you do it.

Hmmm, only thing there is I wouldn't run Coil Over/ Weight Jacks on a car for the street.

Out of curiousity, why wouldn't you run coilovers on the street?

+1! I attended my first autoX recently and realized I know absolutely nothing about car setup. Waaaaay to much front grip..... :D

Nevermind, just realized there's already a write up.

Coilover install?

With the latest group buy hopefully someone will have the time to do a write up, I'd really like to see what's involved before jumping in.
