Washed her up and took a couple pics 56k friendly

[ShortSkinnyKid]

I wanted to take a couple pictures before the weather got too bad. I make no claims at being a photographer, just wanted to show her off a bit.

I am more of a lurker than a poster and really haven't done an introduction so I am going to throw the current mods list on here.

Interior
M-Tech II steering wheel
German check panel
Z4 3.0 shifter
ZHP Weighted shift knob
e36 E-brake handle
Map light mirror

Exterior
BBS RK 17x7
Bilstein sport shocks/struts
H&R sport springs
Euro trim
Euro grills
Euro ellipsoids
Clear signals
Sprayed red tails

The bottom end is shot so I am saving for an s52 I have already sourced. I would love to put a full mtech II on her, you don't see too many in calypso. She is a money pit, everything that can fail has in the two years I have owned her but I have learned a lot and have many plans, just working with a student budget :(

And just in case anyone is curious about the house:

Nice car! 4-doors are really starting to grow on me, and I love your username. :up:

Thanks, I didn't think too much of it when I first got it, it was covered in Virginia Tech stickers. The clear coat is horrible and an animal attacked one of the doors recently, it took me a while to figure that one out, I thought a midget had keyed it at first. I still tell people that's what happened. Old people love her and no one can believe she has 240,000 miles.

You have to have humor if you don't have height

Thanks, I just wish they had more depth to them. The RK's I looked at before I bought them were 18's and a totally different offset and not nearly as convex.

One day I will be able to upgrade to LM's if the maintenance doesn't bankrupt me. I figure at the current rate, in two more years there won't be anything I haven't replaced on the car and maybe then I can really invest in how she looks.

LMs are not the wheel you want if you are looking for "depth" though, assuming you are talking about how concave a wheel is. also, there are LM replicas for sale pretty cheap. there may even be some for sale used with tires already in the wheels for sale section.

Nice, calypso is a classy color, digging the rk's too.
