    It's come a long way in a short time...

    Got some new wheels and some other bits and cleaned it up good the other. Snapped some photo's on the way to ride the other day. Finally got the car looking how I've been envisioning it since I bought it. Aside from a dent in the fender still, I couldn't be happier. The front could still use a slight drop but I'll wait till after winter for that. The E30 is now my DD and only car so I've been knockin out maintenance on it left and right.

    Let's not forget where we started from




    Wheels are TRM C-1 in 15x8 with 205/50's. Picked up an 'I' lip to finish off the front end finally and got a plate filler panel for the rear to clean that up.







    This is my favorite of the bunch




    From that night














    Also, not that many of you guy could give two shits about it, but I sold my SVT Focus that I've had for 7 years and modified fairly extensively a few weeks back. It may be FWD but that car could be tossed around like you wouldn't believe. I lost motivation and decided to move on with the E30.

    Pour one out for my homie, you will be missed.


    And since I know there's some other BMX dudes on here. Was heading to our local trails, mad fun.



    Thanks for looking :up:

        suspension and tire specs? Everytime I see these wheels I get pulled to them more and more.

          Car looks great. I wish I still did BMX. I was in it huge when I was younger and was pretty good.

                Car looks great! You did a nice job returning it to it's former glory. The only thing I would change is the yellow on the fog lights. It clashes with the red.

                              Suspension is Bilstein sports on H&R race springs. Wheels are 15x8, et20 with 205/50's. To me they're a great looking wheel and didn't cost much at all. They're just a tick over 13lbs too so they're plenty light still.

                              Thank you! And yea I agree, been thinking of just going with clear or a light smoke.

                              oh they are. Rode them all weekend, may have been the last jam of the season due to the weather taking a turn for the crap soon.

                              Thanks everyone :up:
