    91 318is build - slicktop

    Picked up this 91 318is about 8 months ago. Car was in pretty decent shape. Not my first e30 (#5 I think), so I knew it wouldn't be long before changes were made.

    Updates since ownership:
    -All new bushings in rear including rear subframe, rtabs and diff mount
    -New Billie sports and new mounts (front and rear) with H&R sport springs
    -New front control arms, bushings and tie rods
    -New Momo wheel and adapter
    -Z3 shorty antenna mod
    -15x7 DForces with 205-50 BFG Rivals
    -Black suede, mtech stitching shift and ebrake boots made by Cletonius
    -UUC big brake kit
    -Turner Motorsport chip
    -Supersprint cat back exhaust
    -ZHP shift knob
    -Rubber-wrap.com Lime Rock orange matte wrap :)

    In the works.......
    -M42 stroker with 279/274 cat cams, Supertech valve springs, VW lightweight lifters, port/polish head and Dbilas ITB's
    -M20 "lightweight flywheel" mod (13lbs lightened, resurfaced and balanced)
    -Recaro Speed seats with reupholstered rear seat and door panels
    -Better 16x8 wheels wrapped in 225's :)......because racecar

          If you need trim or vinyl paint I have access to the entire SEM line and I'm getting pretty good at wrapping stuff.

            Looking forward to seeing you go through with your plans for the engine. And it's kind of a cool color but it also looks like you were too lazy to remove your trim.

              Cool color wrap, but I would have left the trim black to give it some contrast. Would match the black wheels better too.

                  Pretty sure he's got one of those rubber wraps. Peel the rubber off that door trim and bumper trim mang!

                    Scored a mint black sport interior that will be swapped in this weekend.

                    The wrap can be pulled off various trim pieces.....debating on different options but figured we'd wrap everything and remove what I didn't want :)

                    I'll take pics of motor build when I start getting parts back.

                      Black sport interior is installed. Looks 1000 times better than beige with orange exterior. Also made a few touch up/changes to exterior.

                      Painted rockers, lower rear valance and door handles black (plastidip so it'll come off with orange rubber-wrap).

                      Got the lightened flywheel from machine shop (12lb M20 single mass). Should be installing in the next week or so with new clutch.

                        i didn't get a chance to check it out in person when you were finished installing it - less chit-chat and more pics j-man!
