    My obsession

    I've spent the last year and a half working on this beast. I've always kept it at my mom's house because she has a drive way but no garage so take into account daylight and winter. I've replaced both driver and passenger floors as well as a good portion of the fire wall. After that I built up the suspension and drove it for a couple months. I finished the turbo kit back in July. As for the missing parts, mismatched body panels and other shit, I don't have a money tree and I don't own a credit card. It's all about priorities.

    1989 325is, unknown mileage, around 170k.
    Homebrew turbo kit, 8psi HX35, 3" exhaust
    Koni Adjustable shocks
    500/750lb Ground Control coilovers
    Eibach sway bars
    Keskin KT1's 17x8.5, 17x10

              Everything including the Megasquirt was around $1,200. If I didn't know how to weld, solder, tune and such then I'd never be able to afford to have fun. One day I'll be able to have fast and pretty but for now I have to settle for fast.

                If youre serious about loving your car, please put a filter on the compressor side of your turbo. By the looks of it, the turbo is right up against the front radiator/support, but you wouldnt drive a stock car around town without an air filter would you?

                        I love it. Mismatched and all, I think an is lip would make it more aggressive though.
