[ADlBOO]

Would love to see how this turns out. Been thinking of doing the same thing.

ok, so I have 2 weeks off work now and I'm gonna try to work on the car a bunch, weather permitting. Hopefully I'll have some updates soon

Fucking better.

[MazterDizazter]

This is gonna be a beast!

[ballski]

Thanks fellas....

I took the front suspension off again today and dropped the GC coilovers off at my buddy's place tonight. He's gonna section about 1.7" off of them so I can go a lil lower. I may try to tackle the MassiveBrakes manual brake swap next with the m30 in it still.

Looking good.

my front coilovers are done, now to pick them up tomorrow. Can't wait to see the new stance. no more 4x4 mode :)

I post up a pic as soon as I get them back. I haven't done much with the e30 the past few days, but the 135i has new downpipes on ;)

Haven't read the whole thread yet but loving it thus far, i am in the middle of a 5.0 e30 build myself so im sure ill have some questions for you! Good work!

So apparently the old red 325e I had was so rusted out at the firewall, it's probably gonna be parted out, according to the owner :( . The wiring harness is fried too.

I finally got my coilovers back and painted them. Does anyone know of a good way to fix a cut in the tie rod end boot? I accidentally put a lil cut in one getting them off.

Are those billie sports with GC coils?

Nice man, I love going through yours and eurotrash's thread, I'm in the middle of the same thing. still rounding up parts. I plan on staying fuel injected and running MSII, and I think I just hooked a full tremec-3550 setup for it.

Keep up the good work man, you keep me inspired!

nice man, We'll see how I like the carb setup and possibly do EFI down the road when I save up for a blower :shock:

[IronFreak]

My plan is to setup the motor on MSII N/A for now. I've never played with MS before so it'll be a little earier learning curve. THEN........boost, possibly as soon as next winter.

[ballski]

coils are almost on, one side is done. I'm trying to fix the rubber boot on the tie rod end on the other...



new stock mounts for now
