    My Sterling Silver 318is, GutenParts special

    Some of you may remember this thread:



    The build thread for the car. There is some background on the car and deal in that thread. But basically, I contacted ZM Blue Devil and BrewCity11 (Levent and Turk), and asked them if they would be interested in building me a car. They happily agreed, we found this car and the work began. Detailed in the aforementioned thread.

    The guys did absolutely phenomenal work, especially given the time crunch I put them in. Would not hesitate to do business with, or drink all their beer again! If fact, I'm already planning on having them build me another E30 sometime early next year.

    More pics and info in this thread, from when I flew up to pick up the car.




    Progress thus far on the car has been a bit slow with the holidays, trying to part the S52 car, chasing down plumbing issues at our new house, and now I've been getting my ass kicked the last week with an infection in my tonsils.

    Since taking delivery of the car, I pulled the black sport interior out of the bronzit car and had it redyed. I think it goes nicely with the houndstooth panels, and I'm now convinced the houndstooth seats would be too much.

    So here are some pics of the current state of the car.

    EDIT: Went ahead and uploaded pics to photobucket so you wouldn't have to click attachments.

    More pics:

    Future plans, install the sexy 17x7.5" SSR Type C RS you see below. Just got the fresh 215/40/17 Falken RT_615s mounted up today, stud kit is here from Vorshlag, and spacers should be here next week. Once it starts warming up for good these will go on the car.

    Also have the brackets/rotors for the Massive Street kit on the way, and will buy pads/rotors soon as well.

    Plan on putting a 10" Image DYnamics sub in one of Luke's "maniac" sealed boxes, along with my JL XR components pulled from my bronzit.

    Long term, lightweight flywheel, build a decent intake and exhaust, TMS or MarkD chip.

    I do not plan on going all crazy on this one like I did with the Bronzit car.

          How come you're parting the bronzit? I was looking forward to seeing is S5x powered.

          The iS should look sexual chocolate on the SSRs, too.

            Why did you part the bronzit? Will it remain parted?

                I realized I was never going to be able to make the car as nice as the one I brought home. More we took apart more we found hidden damage, rust issues, etc.

                It will. Can't wait to get them on the car.

                    See above, and yes once all the good/worthwhile parts are off the car, I'm going to come have a scrapyard haul it off.

                    I didn't realize it wouldn't display multiple uploads until I after I posted.

                    I may build a set of RSs at some point. Just not now.

                            Nah, I think I like the blanks better.

                            Forgot to mention up top, will also be getting "is" side skirts and Euro trim in a few months. Next week I should have an MTech I wing on the way to my house from the guys at GutenParts as well.

                              What did Turk and Levent do to the car?
