[shellback]

i miss PR. the womwen, the don q, the potholes, el yunque, culebra....nice ride sir

[briansjacobs]

not to mention the skirts serve no purpose other than appearance. Skirts are for bitches!

LOL there just red tape, vinyl used for decals... I just took a spare set of lights i had and covered them... Used a blower to bend the edges.
They look really nice. None of my friend like them here but i do... Its a track car not a daily driver so i really dont want to mess up my yellow lights in the track. Ill save them for another e30 project.

[JT325is]

what are the red covers on your headlights and where did you get them? i want some. lol

[Luis325]

looks like your ready to plow some snow not having skirts with that front valance ;)

Good thing we dont get any snow down here in PR...LOL
I thought about skirts but just dont want to spend money on some IS Skirts which are the ones i like to mess them up in the track...

[briansjacobs]

looks good, why do you have the headlights covered up tho?

it is proper to tape over glass in the event of an impact not to leave glass on the track, alot of classes require headlights to be in place. If you are doing a night event it is common to just tape an X across them.

Didnt like how it looked with the rear of the car with the early valance... Looked weird.

The mtech 1 looks WAY BETTER !

[325ix]

Looks good, why'd you change wings?

[Kershaw]

Why?? That add's weight, this car is a track car.

why? here's why.

man.... looking at that last picture of the rear of the car... I really want a late valance swap....Or a bumper that covers lower........

Im looking for a rear valance to do a swap now!!!
Does anyone know if i can use the late valance with my DB bumper???

you can swap the lower valence. but you have to cut it off the other car and then weld it to your car. it'll be fine though, because the bumper will hide the weld marks.

or, you could get a racing dynamics rear apron. but then you'll really need side skirts.

[Luis325]

Still havent finished installing all the decals for the car.. I really dont like them @ all. But I needed the $$$ for the car so ill rock them!!!

Updates! May 10, 2010

A few little updates:
I havent had much time to work on the car...

Did all my brakes.
Installed Brembo discs with Hawk pads and Ireland Engineering SS Brake lines and rebuilt calipers.

Also my brake master cylinder was bad so went ahead and ordered a new non ABS one from Levent @ guten parts! (great guys!), so i removed all my abs that never worked on my car...All i had to buy was the 2 new hard brake lines from the front from a early non ABS e30.

Next up got an Mtech 1 spoiler from Guten Parts! Cant wait to install it.

Got new Adjustable Sway bars from Ireland, they are 25mm/22mm.

Got a MSD 6AL!

Also got a new Header... Sold my IE short tube and bought a set of ALpina reps longtubes!!

Ordered a WAR chip also to tune the car!

And last but not least got a 4:10 lsd from an e30 m3

All thats left is to install the spoiler, sways, header diff and tune...
And shes ready to go to the track... Hopefully in a few weeks shell be ready! I have a track day June 13 so i have to have here done!

you could cut the lower valence off a late model and weld it to your car. just a thought.

Why?? That add's weight, this car is a track car.
