I really like the read but, you need bigger tires or more low up front. Otherwise, looks good.

lower the front, the wheel gap is killing me and get rear guards or take the fronts off. besides that its really nice and i like it

Hey thanks heaps for all the positive comments and suggestions. Helps a lot :)

The pinstripes are rad.

haha yeh, i love it too. Was lucky the pinstripe was still there (i assume from factory) when I bought the car.

loving the car man, is it just me though or does the suspension seem to be uneven? :???: may just be the picture

I tried my best to get it as even as possibly, so I am assuming maybe it was just uneven ground a little.

They look like the replica borbets they have on eBay atm ;)

Looks sweet though dude, reppin Aussie E30's!

Thanks mate :)

baahhhhh, Would NEVER rock replica's :/ I got these from a private seller on German ebay, had to use 'google translator' to try and convince him to ship them way out here to Australia. After a few replies back and forward we agreed on a price and eventually they arrived :) Actually they arrived one by one a week apart, was scary times... As far as i can tell they are genuine.

Well done mate. Great to see another clean E30 getting around Melbourne. Where abouts are you located?

Thanks man, good to see another Melbourne dude on the forums :) as you can tell I have only been on these forums a handful of times since I joined... I am in Elsternwick. Where abouts are you? what meets do you usually attend? if any?

If you simply told me you had red Type A's I probably would look at you strangely but after seeing it, your car pulls them off great.

haha thanks man, I was a little suss on how they might look when i gave them to the powder coaters, but am stoked with the overall look. I must admit, i got the idea from a picture of an r35 that had a simular color scheme. Happy with the decision :mrgreen:

Although, to be honest i get a lot of mixed reactions on the wheels over here in Aus lol

Has front flaps, needs rear flaps. Otherwise, carry on my wayward son.

I would like to get rear flaps, have been sort of half looking for a set since i bought the car, but so far haven't stumbled onto any. I have got another set of fronts which I am considering mounting somehow. maybe. Also have a set of IS sideskirts in the garage that will be going on as soon as the clips arrive...

Nice!

I can't really tell, but, you should spray your tail lights all red if they are not already. That would really bring it together.

Yeh they are just OEM at the moment, I do like the look of the all red lights. I looked them up a few times but seemed a bit pricey. Maybe sometime down the track. Although, you mentioned spraying them? any links to a DIY or something. could be interested :)

That rake is the ONLY thing bugging me, lifting the rear up a little would do WONDERS. Hard to pull off rubber band tires with rake IMO. Other than that rake I think you have one amazing looking e30.

Thanks mate :) At the moment the cars body sits almost flat with the rear being slightly higher. If I raise the rear it would give it more rake. As i'm sure you know the e30's front guards are a lot higher than the rear, which is annoying. Gives the illusion of a crappy rake when the car is actually sitting close to neutral.

Yeh I agree with the rubber band tires... They are the tires that came with the car. I figure I will wear these out then look at a bigger profile for the next set, although the rear tires sit perfect in the guards at the moment, so not sure what I will do for the next set.

lower the front, the wheel gap is killing me and get rear guards or take the fronts off. besides that its really nice and i like it

I know what you mean man, it kills me as well :( But the m42 sump sits so low and the sump guard sits even lower (40mm ground clearence) :/ it is still my daily car so I can't really afford to lower it anymore. Although I will probably get tempted to later on down the track.

When my missus gets in the car with me the sump guard seriously hits everything and the mudflaps scrape constantly lol they will wear down eventually ;) The front coils have got another 25mm of thread so maybe after winter I might lower it some more.

Great to see another hot e30 in aus.... and reppin the good car meets too.
two things:
1. where did you pickup the IS skirts you are putting on.
2. and keen on that front bonnet cover too!?

nice work bud!

(ps i completely know all about sumps and aussie roads:???:)

[OOMPH!]

Ballsy move with the red wheels......and it worked!!! Looks great!!!

[88SuperETABD]

I'd suggest all red tail lights...would look great with the red wheels.

[CabbE30]

^^What everyone else said. Needs less stanceworks imo. Other than that im jelly of your borbets.

[DuMa]

first time i see red wheels that looks great. im even liking the mtech2 rear bumper and everything else stock

[AE_m20]

not bad...I've been wanting to spray mine all white to put on my cabby but i iz teh scurred.

[freeride53]

clean. too many stickers though.

[INDOMI]

you know i love your car mike! haha cant wait to start on my e30!

[aitch]

I'm in Richmond, haven't been to a meet in years as I travel a lot for work. This is all changing now as I've just accepted a new job, so the E30 is starting to get a lot of love.

[A.Mario]

Nice Mike. Loving the borbet

[CHIF8008]

too much wheel gap for the tire size. car looks great but needs much more low to pull it off.

rear shot looks sweet

sump problem? raise the motor, or swap it out.
