hey guys, I purchased my E30 back in march 2012 last year and ever since then i always come and visit r3v every single day to find some inspirations. I kept it pretty much stock while slowly buying parts for it. The car itself is a 318i M40 auto. Yes, I know! its basically the worst E30 anyone could ever buy! but the car is very clean and only 130,000 km (80,000 miles) when i first bought it.
when i first got the car
Did some basic maintenance to the car and finally placed my order for a complete ground control coilover kit a couple of months back. After that i thought i might as well order some parts to freshen up the suspension parts. So i purchased some stuff from pelican parts, front control arms, tierod assemblies, sway bar end links, trailing arm bushings, front wheel bearings, sway bar mounts, and treehouse racing fcabs.
Lemforder goodness
Treehouse racing fcabs, not sure why i bought these, shoudlve just gone lemforder as well
The quality of GC coilovers is just amazing!
Bought these 3pc Hartges from a good friend of mine, 16x9 16x10 +11 all around
I plastidipped 1 wheel red to see if i like it, i hated it a lot LOL
Installed all the suspension parts last week and had some free time today to mount the wheels.
Quite disappointed that the GC cant go any lower than this. might remove the adjusters at the rear but not to sure what im gonna do with the front to lower it more. Next im just gonna paint my iS sideskirts, install the foggies and paint the lower and upper part of the bumpers. Also saving up for a manual conversion since im super sick of the auto. comments both positive and negative are welcomed
