    Clean Coupe

    Just though I would share some pictures of the e30 with you guys. Well, its a 91 alpine white 318is. Just rebuilt the engine and ran into some difficulties. Anyway, she is stationary, but still pretty. Taking it to a shop to figure out electrical/fuel issues, whatever it may be. Wheels are 16x9 Miro STP-1s wrapped in 215/45/16.





    Much more to come.

    Car and Driver called this the poor mans M3. Nice car. Needs some good suspension work.
    i also like the rag over near the air box. I keep a rag underhood to check oil too. Its all good until that oil soaked rag falls on your headers during a sanctioned race LOL

      Yeah, swap will come eventually, but right now it has h&rs with bilsteins. Probably going with the full kit from GC. Was also thinking about KW.

          Yeah, probably turbo it. Those are all future plans. Worrying about getting everything the way I want it and on the road for now. And Ill look into Ohlins, havent heard of them much before really.

            Ya Ohlins is spendy stuff. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=209713
            If you want to have an awsome set up use them. If you want somthing to hep the car handle a lil better and sit lower GC is good bang for the buck.

                Oh yeah..... Stickers are coming off.
                Takes away from the cleanliness off the vehicle.

                      Its a really good thing you called that out. It really would have been ugly when spencer takes his car to the track to race and didn't realize it was there.... Good lookin man! ;)
