    a couple shots

    no special photography here, but it looked so good after I washed it I had to take pics. I need to get a new camera this year too, mine is almost 6 years old now!






    you can't tell but there isn't a whole lot of paint left on the bottom of my lip. I think it's stronger than everyone thought. several cones at 50mph haven't hurt it either, aside from scuff marks. :D

    looks awesome man, when did you get smoked ellips? And those headers look cool too. Keep modding.

      a couple months ago, I found a deal I couldn't pass up and I've always wanted a set. $295 shipped with bulbs and connectors, all brand new. :shock:

      the exaust ports are matched to the gasket and headers (35mm if I recall correctly). I love the way my exhaust sounds now, although some of the M20 haters would cry if they heard my valves. :twisted:

                      Dude, I didn't realize you installed my old headers. How do you like them? What did you do to bolt them up to downpipes? They look great.

                      Car looks amazing man. It's been a month, its due time for me to wash mine and do a photo shoot with the Digital Rebel XT.

                        Looks good. Silver with nogaros is quite nice.

                          I have to fight the urge to buy smoked ellips every time I see your car. That's one of my favorite E30s, so keep it up!

                              yeah, I've had them in since august. they changed the exhaust quite a bit, not really at the muffler but you can hear more of the motor from the engine compartmet. It turns out that a set of collectors from a small block chevy bolted right up.. I got lucky because it would have cost an arm and a leg to have custom collectors fabbed up.

                              I originally was going to leave the kidney chrome (I like them better that way), but it was just too busy up front with the smoked lights.

                              the wires are bavauto. they're okay, I got them mostly to match the strut brace. I think they actually cost less than new factory wires ($140?). they are a pain in the ass to put on though, and one of the connectors came off so I had to recrimp it. my original wires were frayed and cracking..

                              I'm pretty much done working on it for this year, next year I need more front camber and hopefully a 5 speed :D
