      That suspension setup is sick.

      Did you do the E36 steering rack conversion? I'd say that the rack conversion really makes things even more entertaining.

                Thanks again for all the kind words, it really means a lot after all I've put into the car so far. Compliments and ego stroking are always much appreciated1 :-D

                No! Haha, I like the look and I like how it keeps the car cool in the sun since I don't have a garage or shady spot to keep it.

                Did you notice any increase in noise or vibration from the AKG diff bushing? I have one sitting on the bench in my garage, just not sure if I want to install it or not.
                There wasn't much of an increase in vibration, and not too much more noise. I know most of it is probably the diff bushing but I can't say if there's more noise/vibration with me being all poly and THR arms. I'd say go for it if you think you can handle it, it's really not that bad.

                Get gold bolts, and polish the shit out of those lips! :pimp:

                Well played sir. :mrgreen:
                I'll toss the caps on to see how they look, but I am a fan of capless (sorry guys). And when I refinish the wheels I'd like to get them gold/bronze like Mystikal's E36 M3.

                if so

                what do you have in mind
                The ultimate goal is an S52B32. But that won't happen for a while.

                I really, really wanted to but I never looked around for one. It is definitely the next upgrade. I thought new control arms, tie rods, and THR arms would improve the steering feel, but I still think it feels "loose". I definitely want to upgrade the rack with either the M3 or the Z3 rack.

                      I think this car is so appealing because it is a realizable goal for people to shoot for. Not one of these 40k+ resto or build projects that a few exclusive people can attain. And still soo very sexy. Kudos!

                                Add a hub cover and screw the caps. I like exposed lug look.
