My Progress so far

[ThaiRacer]

So after all the tickets been paid i been working on the E30 a little bit. I havent spent any money out of my pockets yet for this car. Luckily some kid bought the rims for 250 and another kid bought the eyelid+1 of my high beams and threw me a whole set of Seal beams+50 bucks. Also traded that fart can for the current muffler now.

But here you go


FUTURE MODS are:
IS lip/splitter
New rear plastic trims
then a little mechanical tune up(timing belt,wp,thermostat etc.)
then after all that is done:
Decent rims
E28 mtech spoiler


Went from this:

To this:




Then got fog blanks today and decided to take pics, they will be painted flat black along with the brake ducts soon.








UPDATE:11-06-09- Thanks to my friend favio for the new lip. And I also changed the muffler. Along with smoked kidneys and painted fog blanks/brake ducts.

What was wrong with the wheels?

[ThaiRacer]

Do u mean by whats wrong with the wheels and why they are painted?

Or do u mean whats wrong with the wheels since u want new rims?

[downernsp]

No more like WTF.. should of kept other wheels IMO

[ThaiRacer]

Those wheels were horrible would shake terriblely at 65+mph and I spilled something on the bottlecaps to cause the clear coat to peel. So instead of having wheels looking all janked I painted.

i for one welcome these de-ricing overlords

Is that electrical wire holding up the muffler?

Your front bumper looks pissed off.

[ThaiRacer]

Ehhh kinda, the hanger broke off from the actual Chassis. i havent had time to fix it and this was the only thing i had in the car to make sure the exhaust wouldnt drop even though it held up fine without the wire.

Also I plan on re aligning the front bumper as soon as I find a torx socket because I have to switch the passenger fender for a dent free one.

Maintenance, then rims and exterior mods. Do you children know nothing?

[ThaiRacer]

I understand that but my car runs fine, compression checked and its good. I dont hear any noises from the engine bay. I just want to do the engine work later on just to be on the "safe" side.

[Farbin Kaiber]

And what if the unknown amount of miles on your car causes a timing belt failure that you will not be able to remedy because you just spent 450 bux on ESM wheelZ? That is not the "safe" side.

I agree very much

[ThaiRacer]

Ehh you guys are right, after I get the IS lip. I'm going to do the tune-up. I could care less for wheels right now.
