    Two year progress

    So far this is the longest I've owned any one car.
    When I picked it up:




    By that summer I had GC camber plated, fixed some maintenance issues, fitted an S2k seat in the driver's side, fucked around with some spraypaint and paint stripper, and put on the exhaust I missed so much as well as a 3.5" HFM, silicone intake boot, AA CAI with a quickly fabbed up shield, and a TRM chip.



    Slowly some interior got put back in.



    By that fall, I had grabbed some more spray paint!




    Spring of next year the engine bay got some clean up:


    And I found more spray paint!


    I picked up some cheap r-comps and had my first track event!


    The rotas were replaced with TR Motorsport C1s in the same fitment, with some decent summer rubber for once.



    Shortly thereafter I had my second track event (in the interim, I found more spray paint)






    And by the third track day, I finally borrowed a paint gun.




    And as of this fall:



    I've still got a lot of things to do. The paint needs to be blocked and resprayed (fucking bugs!) and there are still dings and dents that I need to fix, and I STILL haven't redyed the old recaros I bought! It's been fun as hell so far though.

      i think i liked it better flat black, the mirrors, and orange light surrounds seems to pull it all together.

                        How much did the paint job cost? If you don't mind me asking?

                        Only cuz I'd love to change the color on mine and do it proper-like

                          Not a huge fan of the mirrors but the rest looks good.
                          Function.

                            mirrors are a lil something different, I like em. It seems all e30's are starting to like the same. Thumbs up for being different

                              The mirrors are kinda cool, but the black looked better IMO. Great job over all!
