Lowering it to a point where it's like "DAMN thats low" but still functional for grip and drift events

Started to take out the engine today. Discovered that on my replacement engine I will need a fan clutch and some spark plugs, no biggy.


Since some of you know that my suspension is horrible (cause you actually read) I found out why its so bumpy and uncomfortable.. luckily i already bought replacement springs. & this is why


If you can't see whats wrong.. look at the middle coils. They are waaaay too close together. What a horrible way to "slam" your car. This should be changed soon.

More to come.

Well, I'm just introducing myself :P

My names Ralphy and I just turned 17 a few weeks ago :p and I've been into cars since I was a baby. My dad has owned things from Ke70/Ae86 corolla's to EF Civics/DA Integras to E34/E39 5 series & I've always fell inlove with all his cars. .. I just bought myself a 1990 Calypsorot Metallic 4door 325i with tan interior <3 I've always been into E30's, E36's and E34's but when my friend gave me an offer I couldn't refuse for the E30 I had to buy it.






At the moment it needs:

A New key
New motor (serious rod knock)
New front suspension (bumpy beyond belief)


Some things I plan on doing:

M50 Swap!
Custom BBS RS (very bandwagon, but so nice. Until then I'll get Diamond Racing Wheels)
Lowering it to a point where it's like "DAMN thats low" but still functional for grip and drift events
Possibly Turbo the M50 after awhile?

Whatever comes to my mind that I'd like to do I'll write it down here to keep everyone informed :)
