that is a very nice car.. I must admit, I'm quite very jealous.. It's the color I want.Comment

Wow, lots of positive feedback, this is great!
I'm thinking color match, as soon as I can score some IS side skirts. The problem so far is that the lip has only been on for a week, and i've already scraped it twice, so i'm afraid it'll just get demolished as soon as I paint it
chrome kidneys will be on their way at some point - the black is a little much, I agree. The wheels are euroweaves, not IX's.Originally posted by TimKninja
I found about 5 types of 3m compound at the local pepboys, and they all basically said the same thing - rubbing compound! I bought the smallest, most expensive little bottle I could find, and hoped it would work. I know the good stuff is supposedly only available to pro body shops, but i'm not sure what the name actually is. As for process, I claybar'd the whole car using a maguire's kit, then rubbing compound on microfiber towels, then some swirl-x, just because I had it laying around (couldn't hurt!), and then a quick wax. I'm thinking I should have polished as well - i'm not yet happy with the finish.Originally posted by d_elson0
Thanks! pics are within a couple blocks of my apt in Los Feliz/Griffith Park area. I was trying to diagnose a hot-start problem (fixed!) and had my camera along so thought might as well snap a few :)Originally posted by CleanAzzE30z
I'm an idiot - I traded the wheels for some staggered 16" ESM 002s today, and I miss the euroweaves already! :neutral:Originally posted by leegf
I'm thinking I need to find some fill and drill 16" style 5s instead. Anyone know if Fill and Drills are track-safe, or is that asking for trouble?

Nice! There seem to be a lot of e30 enthusiasts in these parts.
Out of curiosity, do you know anywhere/anyone on this side of town where I might be able to borrow/rent some lift time? I can't do anything in my stupid apartment parking area, and need to do some basic maintenance. Ugh.
The manager would have a coniption fit if she saw me dropping my oil pan!Comment
