E30 from Canada land

[whterice]

I can't believe I have never posted my car here yet on the site. So if anything nows the time.

This is pretty much how my car started and looked like right after I purchased it. '90 325i completely stock






Then the modding started to happen.......

But first I would have a intake rocker break on me which made me kinda sad since I just bought it but on the other hand gave me a chance to replace it with something better.... So I tossed a rebuilt 885 head with 260 duration cam, new water pump, timing belt and tensioner on it so I knew when it was last done.

I found the sportmax 501 for cheap with tires and decided to run them for the summer til I found something different. Which lasted MAYBE 6 weeks before I went to stock bottle caps wrapped in Falken Azenis rt-615. Then I added a factory rebuilt 3.73 lsd, factory Recaro's from a e21, Suspension technique for 2.5 inch drop, Bilstein Sport shocks, catback Remus exhaust, IS front lip, complete turner motorsports brake kit with stainless steel braided lines and elipsoids







Then I picked up a set of konig heliums to rock for the rest of the summer and a new set of fogs. Sad thing is my fogs last maybe a week til I lent my car to my boss to drive for lunch and he some how smashed the passenger side fog light.




After this pic I blacked out all the signal and front marker lights with a tinted clear coat at my friends bodyshop and also removed the pin stripes as they were silver one side and gold on the other.

This winter I purchased a set of Borbets off Kowalski. On the ride home I never bothered to put cardboard between them and ended up scuffing the lips abit. To me this was no big deal cause I had planned on refinishing them and making them suit my car even more. Now these pics come no where close to showing what they look like. The color I decided to paint them is a color match to my gramlight 57c coffee table. Also had the lips mirror polished while they were in the shop. Dont ask a price cause I dont even know til I get the bill for them. Now for the pics




Will be mounting them as soon as I move my car to its new home

I am thinking that is gonna be pretty damn hot.

show us pics mounted!

[N2MYE30]

Whoa! I think that if you kept the pinstripes, it would come together with those gold A's. Different for sure.

I love this color on an e30. the combination is going to look awesome, get her done and you have my vote for car of the month for March(not sure even if I have a vote).

edit... are those recaros? Considered, euro trim and IS sideskirts? Do it.

[GOOBER]

looks good. not digging the body colored headlight rings but that's just me.

[KARIME302]

the car look at its best in the red

Thanks guys for the compliments I will try to get these mounted as soon as possible just waiting for my new garage to be cleaned out then I will be moving it inside. It currently sits in a snowbank on my driveway waiting

I wanted to keep the factory stripes but the driver side was silver and the passenger side was gold and wrapped around the trunk and met up with the driver side. So not really something I wanted.

Thanks for the vote. They are infact real recaros out of a 320i that I found at the wreckers. Currently getting the centres recovered in alcantra then they will be back in the car. I have considered euro trim but currently with the markers blacked out they blend in quite well but I do have a set of euro fenders sitting in my garage... If I could find a set of IS sideskirts I would buy them but I have kinda been avoiding the for sale section cause I keep finding other stuff I want then end up buying. Prime example found a set of 15x7 BBS RM's for cheap on a local forum so I ended up buying them even tho I just spent all this coin on my Borbets.

I love calypsorot so much. Looks so damn clean.

Hey dude. Was talking to you on bcbimmers about the remus. Can't wait to see the type a's on there :up:

[theox69]

The Borbet's are going to look amazing on your car -- I can't wait to see it!
I'm only concerned about the stance. Are you planning on getting coilovers in the near future?

[stevofthahill]

Those Type A's look delicious. Can't wait to see them mounted on calypso.
