Is it just me?

I dunno, i'm not a paint-code whore. But you are definitely not the typical r3vver. 1-1.5 inches on an early model is practically nothing. Mine's 2" front 1.5" rear and it looks 4x4 to me.

What would be the perfect height for me? If I had 16' or 17' what make it sit so that when you looked straight at the side the arches would just follow or be only slightly above the tire? Also, (i suppose it depends on the rims) what spacing would you need to push the wheels out to the very edge of the fenders, so that the tire lines up with the top of the fender? Maybe this is impossible!?

Search. Or just browse the site. There are way too many variables in what you just said for me to spout off what you need to do.

To get that low on an early model roughly youre looking at IE3 springs or go to Ground control

[iwillhunt]

I have IE3s, they won't get you low enough.

Actually his sig stance is almost bang on. I would either put in a spacer to line up the fender with the wheel or get BBS 17or 18, or both. I've seen a few cars with a perfect stance on here, i can't remember who though.

What is DBD?

YAY! sounds like fun. Do you have ice cream socials?

Anyway, I found the exact stance. Forgive me for steeling the pic.

haha, no theres a page, you can comment, and put up pics of your early model ( or 88 ) and you can put it in your sig

We might get stickers printed up eventually too, we'll see

And that stance youll probably want to order some ground contorl or at least Cosmos... Thats a late model so the rar arch goes down farther than on earlys

I still don't think my car sits at all like the mayo car. But i guess it does sit like the OP was describing.

Here's a profile shot of my car for reference:

Are you suggesting that I copied an essay from a kid in high school?

Honestly?:tsk:

Um, no.

I wrote it in sort of an essay form because it took me awhile to really figure out what I wanted to say, maybe I did slip back into high school English class but so what. I wanted to add a little more color than the insipid statement and question "I don't like M3, Coupe, or the updated e30. Anyone else think that as well?" Okay, so maybe it's a completely hopeless pile of rubbish but the end result is hopefully less flaming. I know that e30 enthusiasts keep there car close to their heart and the last thing I wanted to do was offend anyone.

I'm not sure if you noticed but "the aesthetic ability of giraffes" is straight out of Top Gear! haha. I think it was when they were in season 10 talking about the new American sports car that set the production car record. That was straight from memory though so I don't think it's copying.

[daniel]

i wasn't being critical, but when i first read it i thought it was someone spoofing the HS essay due to the descriptive nature, and because you were talking about the M3.

i thought that giraffes thing sounded familiar.

You have 11 posts and you pull the finger? Really? Ok - awesome start.

Sorry - an Essay format is way beyond your intellect.

] I wanted to add a little more color than the insipid statement and question

Oh see, now you're speaking my language. I love me some etymology -love me some etymology!

Insipid - "devoid of qualities that make for spirit and character"

Yep that's actually you....Oh no!!!!
