My "new" 318is

[Subtle]

I love driving my car in the snow


and then I wasnt paying attention to what was happening and I rear ended someone as they got cut off.


back to square one. this time the upper rad support was bent in.

i banged most of it out with a sledge but the hood latch was fubar so we had to install latch pins.





the car looked quite silly for a few weeks

[Subtle]

but then I made a trip down south to trade my Style 5s for a set of ESM 002R staggered 16x7.5 and 16x9 and i got a set of ellipsoids out of the deal too! really cool dudes!




quick test fit and my friend got a sweet pic out of it

[kevine30]

I have a problem with hitting things in cars... it's whatever.

also please stay tuned as you may be disappoint on the diamantschwarz is going by by.

anyway back on topic so I started to getting my suspension dialed in a bit better.


so I got a set of bumpers from a local guy in RI and painted them and took some wall trim and made a lip.



the test fit for whether it was going to look good



then i decided it was going to be a good idea to paint my bay the night before the Uconn car show











and the final product.



PT belt on to protect the car



so I went to go pick this piece of shhhii.... er fun vert... from E30l


and then my friend broke my oil pan on the drive home...


the reason for the broken oil pan with the e30 motorwerks skid plate was due to the failure of the motor mount arm hardware in the block.

[kevine30]

You have some awesome luck..

[Subtle]

You have some awesome luck..

tell me about it ahaha!

anyway continuing on.

so I pulled the motor out as I felt it was easier and I wanted to inspect some things. (note I lost the R in DERPER in a rain storm to the windshield wiper and just left it.)


I didnt take a before pick but the block was super rusty so I sanded, primed, and painted it to hopefully stop some of the rust.


Ez-outs for the win


painted block going back in



ran into some issues getting it started turns out my source of info on how the fuel lines were connect was backwards honest mistake (thanks a lot sharky :roll:)


once I found out my issue of the fuel lines being backwards I worked all night to get it to an almost road worth state again and I also found out that the back of my shop faces the rising sun in the morning.



later that evening


a quick froyo stop


that lead up to about my birthday and my girlfriend greeted me with some AWESOME wrapping paper of the favorite picture of my car.



then I put that bish to work


a little function and form (who needs a truck anyway when you have a perfectly good e30 and a roof rack?)

I fell in love with this car there is no way I'm letting it go for quite some time, I can't wait to paint it this weekend.

the combination of chalkboard and purple is going to be rad.

[Subtle]

Painted it with purple chalkboard paint.



Little corner balance action, my corner weights were so fucked.



Well it is...



Spyke's door cards came in I'm so pumped to install then this weekend.
