E30 project M40B18 TURBO

[REAL]

Wait, aren't e30's not capable of supporting a rear coilover without a cage and strut tower support? I was under the impression that they will blow through towers

no problem running rear coils at all !

[REAL]

have the front coils all finished now !

had massive issue with the the coilovers being the wrong size for the strut so i had to source some 50mm struts :letitout:

got it all sorted see the pics :)






get some pics today on how its sitting !

[REAL]

just went and gave it a quick wash and some iphone pics ,
- had to run some spaces up front so the stock wheels would fit, its a bit to low for me but i will leave it until my rubber arrives for 16x8's

Calypso will grow on you man.. I wanted an Alpine White so badly (Would still take one) But I love my Calypso so dearly and your paint doesn't look to bad.

If you ever need parts or a hand let me know. Lots of local SA e30 owners. Where abouts are you located? I just moved up north to Nuri.

Loving the progress, how are you finding the coilovers? & I'll say it I love the wheels

[E30_Doc]

The rims are alright, better than the bottlecaps. Get your front and rear bumpers and side mirrors colour matched, the car will look so much better, I'd save the black trim though.
