    Nothing too fancy, my 87 ES

    Hey what's up ya'll,

    I've been on here for a while haven't really posted much I'm more of a lurker then anything. and well since my e30 hasn't been too photogenic, well at least till recently at least I've kinda just sat and watched in the shadows.



    Well heres a lil update on my e30.

    I got a stock oem ES valence found it on craigslist.

    Got some Projectors headlights from a 89 325i in the pull it yard, huge improvement compared to the smoked out sealed beams.

    Cosmo racing coils 8k for the front and 10k for the rear matted with some cheapy KYBS (rides a million times better then blown stock cut suspension lol)

    And I got some used Konigs remembers 16x7 + 20 it was too good of deal to pass up on.

    Future Plans

    She needs paint, so that will be done in the near future.

    Shopping around for some HIDS

    I have an m20b25 swap from an e34 525i I plan on swapping in once I get my income tax check and I have completed every once of maintenance on the motor.
    I plan on building my 2.7 bottom end with forged internals for 2.7i turbo setup that probably wont be completed till sometime next year.

    Also when ever these kybs take a shit, next suspension setup will be a real adjustable coil over system.

    Also going to be in the market for some m-tech 1 sides and rear I think they would compliment the ES front very nicely.


    She Started out like this




    How I hate macco and their single stage paint jobs, PO had it done there and that shit lasted a lil under a year.


    And this is her now :D.

                      Looks good. Are you still running the cosmos and kyb's or did they crap out on you?

                        Thanks, but Nah I like the polished trim, I'm also going back to chrome kidneys again I feel they would compliment the euro bumper very well. And yes still rolling with the kybs with the cosmos the rides kinda bouncy but the shocks still have some life left in em. I plan on staying with them till they shit and then go for a full coilover system.
