    91 318is, s52 swapped

    I've been lurkin for a while, finally posting some info and pics of my car.

    1991 318is originally diamondschwartz. partially primed by PO.
    s52 obd1 conversion with TRM chip
    full dual exhaust with stromung e30 m3 muffler
    zf trans
    3.25 lsd
    c3 motor sport coilovers 450/750
    shortened strut housings
    koni SA
    UUC BBK
    unpowered z3 rack 2.7 turn
    tiny ass momo competition wheel
    D-force wheels wrapped in bridgeston potenza re-11, 205/50-15 for track
    Borbet B's wrapped in falken ziex 512, 205/45-16 front 225/40-16 rear
    black vinyl sport seats, black/houndstooth door cards

    I tracked the car last year and put some 8k miles on it and the re-11's before I got the B's. I'd say the re-11's still have about 50% left, I'll be using them for track days this year as there's still plenty of life in them. I had the car on corner scales and it was right around 2600# with 3/4 tank and no driver. I'll post more info when I think of it....on to the pictures...

          So cool! & interesting because of primed paint. But, you should definitely consider a re-spray in Dshwarz!

              Please paint it... It's too nice of a car to have shitty paint...

              But, that's just my opinion.

                It makes a nice sleeper with it's shitty paint. I would paint it last and spend money on other things first, like wider wheels and tires.

                    How does the no p/s, z3 1.9 rack and tiny steering wheel treat you? I don't see that being too awfully fun...
