    Some pics of the project

    sooo, finally got some pics together..
    Car: 1992 318ic
    Details: Picked her up from a girl that had it sitting 2 years, just got it a month ago and already put 3k miles on it lol..
    Miles: Had 115k original pulled an autocheck.
    What it needed: Little tune up, spark plugs, fluids, fresh 91 octance, new top, paint on hood, valence, and rear bumper due to sun fading. and some deeep cleaning..
    What i've done: Cut springs on the front, smilies with HID's, had euroweaves but needed too much work to restore, now have the bbs rs reps, magnaflow exhaust, k&n intake, short shifter, mtech nob. got my code for the radio from a friendly bmw dealer LOL, lightly red tinted tailights and passed smog :)
    its now sitting on the bbs rs reps, gotta polish them up, or just looking to buy some with a bigger lip in the future, IS trunk spoiler coming in, fog lights coming in, and just have to order the IS lip. then hood, valence and rear bumper is getting painted, and the whole car will get a buff.. Trying to keep most of car original paint..

    Not a bad looking car.

    Un-cut the front springs and give the whole car a good polish and I think you're getting somewhere.

              cut front springs are okay, they are held by the strut top hats and spring perch.

              how bouncy is it?

                It's not bouncy at allll. That's why I did it after I went in a ride in my buddies vert. Car rides a absolutely perect unlike a civic with cut springs.
