Just finished installing suspension,ground fx,& wheels

[jimi318is]

I just finished the suspension install (still have some adjustments to do with height, just waiting for it to settle): new control arms, PowerFlex urethane offset bushings, GC coilovers, GC camber/caster plates, miscellaneous parts, and Bilstein Sports. Thanks to Alex, (aka ACS325ic) for the T-stars.

(No, I'm not the one in the pics, that is my brother-in-law waiting for me to get done with his camera.)










Here are some older pics of my "ice" install just before it was finished.

I love what you did with the rear seat & sub box.

Those wheels look great as well. Can't say I'm a huge fan of those skirts, but the car looks awesome overall.

Any engine mods?

Very nice looking car. Are those the refinished throwing starts that were for sale on the forum?

Also, what side skirts are those?

[Il Duce]

Yes

I fab'd them out of fiberglass.

Very impressive work on the ICE. Not a huge fan of the skirts, had a local that tried the a simliar thing on this eta, but with a worse execution.

Nice looking car.

Looks a little funky with no negative camber up front though, and I'm sure it could handle better if you dialed a few degrees in.

I'm sure you'll end up getting rid of the Bilsteins at some point. I had two blow out on me within a year of getting the GC coilovers.

Awesome looking car, you did amazing work with that stereo install!

i like the side skirts. make me a set? :P

Looks good man, I actually like the skirts. Is that a real reiger or one from the buy?

Also, if thats a 318, then why does it have the cutout for dual exhaust in the back? I thought they all had smaller cutouts for single tail pipt. I see it does have the oil cooler block off plate in the valance.

Not to shabby. How does it ride with bilstiens? Have you ever ridden in a car with konis? Id like to know how to compare. Ive ridden in an m42 with GC and konis, but ive got IE springs with my bilstiens.

Ive ridden in an m42 with GC and konis, but ive got IE springs with my bilstiens...

And you're JEALOUS! ;)

But yea, why do you have a larger cutout exhaust for your 318? That reminds me I gotta buy new hardware for the exhaust...

What spring rates are you running? I didn't know that was an issue.

Nice car TJ.

Yea, that was not my intent, sorry TJ ;)

Thanks, but making and selling would not be worth my time right now

1. The lip is a fiberglass replica (easier to fix).
2. The rear sustained some damage from previous owner and was replaced with that piece (I bought it like that).
3. I have only driven it around the block so far, the set up I just took off was 100% stock and blown.

cool, you do good work.

One of the rears blew out without warning last summer and one of the fronts seized a few weeks ago. The car rides better on the Konis than it ever did with the bilsteins. Much, much better.
