    Cold stuff

    It was cold so I took some pictures....









    cars going into winter mode soon, I'm building a nice skid plate, getting mud flaps and some better tires.

        Your car pulls of bottlecaps better than any other E30 I've ever seen.

        Lower it some more, space them out, and get some smaller tires on them, they would be legit as fuck.

          ^^ What he said. Push those out with spacers and it'll make a big difference. Great pictures!

          Also, if you're getting new tires. Stick with 65's.. I ran 60's up front, then changed them all to 65's. It's really the only tire to have on stock wheels. Just my

                thanks:)

                After the skid plate I'll go lower:), I've already got 20mm spacers on them, but I would like to go about 10mm wider out back. In the pics the car already has 195 60's, I don't want the sidewall any taller or shorter but I'd like some wider tires.

                      You do realize that a wider tire will change the sidewall size, right? Therefore, to keep the same sidewall you will want a lower profile tire and a wider tire. ;)

                      Car looks clean as always.

                      Personally wouldn't put the effort into bottle caps, I mean is it really 'cool' to pull off bottle caps? That's like saying you pull off the dodge neon well. I mean, sure maybe you do, but that's not really what you want.

                        ^ I understand I meant something like a 215/55 because that is roughly the same height but wider than my 195/60's.

                          Do you plan on mass producing that skidplate you'll be making? :D

                            yes, as always:), its going to be similar to a dirt bike skid plate, the plate is going to attach to a custom frame(super strong) that I'm making and be removable and replaceable in case you destroy it, also going to be making the bash plate out a different materials like a steel plate with steel frame or aluminum plate with steel frame. I'm going to do a lot of testing and destroying:)

                              its still being designed and improved, and this pic is not to scale at all, but it gives you an idea...kinda.
