Sorry for the lack of updates and pictures. I finally got the car registered, so gonna start driving it a little more. I took it out to Cars and Coffee in Irvine for the first time the other day..
DAM I knew this car looked familiar! Been seeing it all over stickydiljoe with mikeys rides. My homegirl is his cousin lol. I remember seeing that dc2 with the gold plated tarbo back in the day surprised he got it back.
Sorry, nothing new on the car. Progress is going to be pretty slow, as the car is just sitting in storage. The only thing new is that my friend put Falken tire chalks under the tires (bottom left corner), haha. My previous car was fully sponsored by Falken Tires and they continue to help out with all of my current projects. Therefore we show support and represent them as well as possible.
Beautiful car. Love the Volks ...... Do you know yet if they will clear the brembos?
I am almost positive the Volks will clear the AP Racing calipers. I plan to use a 328x28mm rotor, which is the same size I ran on my previous Civic. The Civic had 16" TE37's and those wheels barely cleared the inside barrels (Couldn't use stick on wheel weights on the inside). The Volks on the M3 are 17" so they will have more clearance, and since the spokes are concaved, there will be no clearance issues with them.
So tell your experience going for Japs to German?!?
The reason I ask as it happened to me about 15yrs ago or so, really do remember the moment... ;-)
BTW, nice looking m3!
Hmm not sure how to answer this. I still love Japanese cars, as well as European and American cars. I consider myself a car enthusiast and have respect and love for every kind of car, as long as it is well built and tasteful. I work primarily with Japanese cars, so I am around/in them all the time.
The BMW is new territory for me though as far as working on it. I am not familiar with it so I feel lost when trying to work on it. Hopefully I'll get more familiar with it the more I work on it..
I apologize in advance, I don't think there will be frequent updates on the car. I have a feeling the build process for this car will be pretty slow. I have owned the car for 15 months and so far all I have added are suspension, wheels and a wing, haha..
Also your civic was amazing. Nice job with both cars. The M3 is coming along very nice and good to see another guy coming from the honda scene into the E30 scene haha
