barrel's will most likely be black

something out of the ordinary for the faces, and lips will be straight high polish (no clear)

as far as bolts and lips, most likely tunershop unless you can recommend something better.

[onaquest]

any interesting colors for barrels, faces, or new lips?

Where are you going to get your bolts and lips?

[namsayin]

Thanks Ryno!

curbing on all 4 but the wheels are straight, im replacing all 4 lips.

im gonna be stripping these apart and getting each part refinished

sandblasted and powdercoated barrels
sandblasted faces (got special plans for these) and caps
wider lips
new bolts
and those conical caps (FTW)

[onaquest]

How are the lips on your RS's?

This build is INSANE

[namsayin]

your wheels - do want.

I'm loving the idea of a wire-tucked S54 6MT 5-lug E30 on RS.

She'll be worthy of Thunderfap(tm) - for when you absolutely, positively gotta rub one out so hard it'll break windows

hahahahahahahahahahaha!

this is my absolute dream car and i can't believe im actually building it, i haven't even owned this car 6 MONTHS YET!

Good to see that my engine stand is working out. Even more awesome is the greatness that it is holding. Last thing that held was a Lincoln 430!

yeah man you're the man Garret! the thing works awesome!

SPECIAL UPDATE!

Found these for the deal of a lifetime!

complete set of 4 BBS RS 212 (17x8.5 et13)

i'll be tearing these bad boys apart and refinishing them but for now i present to you my new find!





you can see my BBS' on the ground next to my S54 on the engine stand in my dirty ass garage!

The Triple White 92' 5 speed Karmann Carat edition VW cabriolet (1 of 1500 produced) is FS as well for those that are wondering :) (PM me for info)
discuss.

Not sure how he's doing, He's scarcely around anymore. I just edited my post above. Conant is now using the 5200, and Hitchcock is using the 4100 set-up.

Edit: Chris got 15th this year.

Thad Davis is the Houstonian. AST has a new line, the 5000 series, now. How did Chris do this year?

[Philo]

My roommate has an E36 M3 with AST 4100's, and my friends have Ground Controls and TC Kline DA's on their E36 M3's. The AST's are better than either in DD duty by leaps and bounds, and better at the track/auto-x. It does help that Vorshalg is not far away, and can help adjust them and add nitrogen at events. I also know a guy who cleans up at the Houston BMWCCA events with an E30 M3 with AST's (4300, IIRC).

The guy I know, and am referring to is Chris Conant. He placed 3rd in SCCA solo nationals last year. He has AST's top of the line set-up, 5200.

[Erik]

check back in tonight!

i haz a surprise for you!

Don't ruin it!

Edit: MR. 325's answer sounds more likely.

Also, Check out AST suspension stuff. I know of a auto-x E30 and E30M3 who have their set-ups. The owners love their products.
