    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.

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

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

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

                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.
