From subaru to e30 convert

[d_elson0]

Current state:



I've always enjoyed bmws, particularly e36 and e30 models. So after getting rid of my subaru dd, I found a decent 318is to drive around and slowly modify to my liking. Anyways, I haven't done much to the e30 yet, just wheel bearings, fluid changes and the cheap volvo lip. But I'm sure i'll be dropping money into it here and there.

My past subaru and current NASA ST2 in-progress build:

Old DD/monthly track events (17x9.5 +38 rpf1 W/ 255 nt01 & 18x9.5 +27 w/ 265 rs3s):











And my ST2 chassis. Hopefully be finishing this up within the end of the year

and finally, the e30:





I'm happy with it so far, gets nice gas mileage and will be a fun car to mess around with.

nice.....but the volvo lip looks bad

[Huff]

yeah, the Volvo lip doesn't flow very well

good to see your car posted homie... I think we are slightly homo for both having GD chassis Imprezas and white 318is' hahaha

I like the Subarus a LOT. I think you should reconsider the volvo lip though. Save 110 for an IS or 65 or so for an I lip.

[d_elson0]

I know. Its better than nothing I think though. One day i'll get the stock is lip. Again, majority of my money and time is getting thrown at the caged chassis at the moment. Just trying not to get carried away with the e30 for the time being.

ps grippy: we are just cool. I miss the subaru though, but it will be a beast when it is done.

Mmmm Enkei RPF1's

I must has some...

[grippymonkey]

we are definitely cool brother haha

I need to start my 318is thread too. I feel like I should at least put the race springs on first.

What wheels are you planning for your 318? They better be at least 8" and low offset ;)

[d_elson0]

Ill prob do race springs and e90 drops for the time being... Wheels will definitely be at least 8's... But again, probably not for a while. Spending on the race car needs to be 98% of where my extra funds go... at least till I can get it painted.

Car is so much nicer w/ quiet wheel bearings. Just need to do trans/ rear diff fluids. Its nice messing around with a car again, I forgot what it was like.
