Been working on this "beast" for a few years now. As my daily, I've had other projects to keep me occupied so its been slow, but this is definitely as close to done this car is going to be for a while. I dont have a lot of pictures of the builds but it basically started last bimmerfest with...
This:
Soon after that came H&R sports and eibach rears to give it a nice casual sporty look and poop ride quality:
After running out of other things to throw money into, I started getting serious in the "stance" theme. So i went out and get some coils from a local vendor to try and get the height i really wanted and got this:
Wasnt enough... so i went out and got the front housings cut 2 inches, stuck a 4" spring in, took the adjusters out the rear and ran the 4.5" spring, some new wheels that i spent 3 weeks refinishing, and ended up with this:
Running 17x8 front, 17x9 rears on 195/40 f, 205/40 r. The fenders are very temporary as the car was undriveable at the height it was with non-rolled fronts, plan is to cut the excess off and heat it up and roll it, see what happens. if it doesn't do what I like, it needs to be repaired regardless, so i'll just snag new ones from the yard. As for the rears, they were rolled, but not enough. those will be pulled and the back will be dumped out pretty soon here.
As for Engine mod's, its pretty much all factory. the engine is the factory m20b25 with a full header back exhaust. Cone filter intake. 5-speed swap..
Final build plans consist of new paint, vinyl wrapped hood, and probably new interior. Tarbo is looking very likely, but will keep you posted...
a few to entertain the pictar needy:
