What happened to the front valance?

Got slightly bent from that tire on the freeway, along with my rear. It sucks.

^^ what Court said! Car looks great, euro weaves and thats it!

Leaning towards some Hartge Type A's now, 16x7.5 ET 25 ones, The Euroweaves are up to $1500 new, thats getting a bit much for me.

I'd leave it as is, would not molest it any further. Clean e30s are getting harder to find.

I don't plan on doing much that isnt reversible or original options for the car.

Red46 skid plate is on, now just waiting for front billies to arrive so I can get it sitting at the right ride height.

3.25 ratio? Why make your car a lot slower?

Only 400-500 rpm difference really. Its also a DD, I don't plan on needing speed anytime soon. I'd rather buy one diff now and not have to change it with eventual 24v swap down the road too.

Its really not that bad, still slides and does burnouts just fine.

Soon to come: HR Race springs and Billie sports, Poly Cabs and 3.25 LSD installed.

Also need to fix thumping noise from rear, suspect item is CSB.

Im gonna go ahead and say that loose rubber ring = bad:
