Airbag Club's 1988 E30 M3..

[Airbag Club]

Not a fan of the Volks but you might not like my wheel choice. Car is very familiar it sold off of S14.net? My Alpineweiss came from San Fran region too.

All good, everyone has their own preferences. Concaved Volk TE37's are one of my favorite wheels of all time and knew I had to put them on this car before buying the car. I bought this car off a friend who I don't believe was very active on s14.

always been a fan of te's on an m3. So what do you plan with this thing? full race car status? I know how you honda boys roll. I already see you going ham on parts haha.

Shaping up to be my favorite e30 m3 ever. I love the wheels, and I assume you intend to do godly things with this car.

Thanks guys. I have a lot of plans for this car, but it seems like it will take some time for me to execute it all. I plan to build the car with a Japanese influence, which not everyone would agree to. That is my vision for this car and since it is my car, I will build it how I like. :)

Hey nice cars man. Hopefully Ill see you and your car around SF some time.

I actually moved down to Southern California for work.

Love this car. JRZs... Ballin!!!

Thanks Andy, good to see a familiar name on the forums! :)

Car looks nice but I thought the bbs looked better

No hard feelings, to each his own. The BBS wheels just aren't my style, and I feel it is a little too "cookie cutter."

I like what you've done with the place.

sorry to disappoint you, haha. the username refers to being hit in the face with an airbag before..

So happy to not have seen an M3 destroyed by stancefag suspension.

Makes me want to grab my penis, scream, and jump up and down at the same time.

Brilliant.

The te37's are actually growing on me.. I think they'd look pretty sweet in white instead of the bronze

Overall clean car. Curious to see where it goes with the Japanese influence

Damn I thought you're from SF! Seen this car all over instagram. They look great with TE's. See you around :up:

100% how I would build an m3 if I were financially able. If it were me, there is a lot of Studie AG influence, along with a lot of Tsukuba parking lot/paddock vibe.

I love the understated but unique look with hardest to reach back corner of the top shelf parts. Unique and one-off items are common with this theme. I truly hope you aim for smaller, lesser known makers instead of using the go-to brands the basic JDMfanbois buy from Autobacs. I think ARQRAY exhaust is an idea to look at too. I could go on for a long time, but I'll shut up and let you take over.

Thanks guys!!

Forgot I had these brakes. They are AP Racing brakes off a Circle track race car. Quite a bit crazier than off the shelf AP Racing kits. This project has really been on the back burner because I need to have brackets made. I first need to decide what rotors to use. I want to see if stock E46 M3 rotors will fit on the E30 M3 hub, since replacement rotors would be easy to obtain. Then I need to remove my knuckle/strut (or borrow one from someone if possible), and give that, a caliper and a rotor to my machine shop and have the brackets designed and CNC'd. I only plan to do the fronts though.



I ran a very similar setup on my old Civic using Brembo Monoblock calipers.

I got excited because I thought I was going to see a bagged m3...

i'm glad that he didnt bag the m3!

Looks nice, but i stand firm in the fact that TE37's don't work on everything... welcome.

The M3 is looking fantastic!

Is there a build thread for your old civic? It looks pretty serious.

The car was an ongoing 11 year project. In 2009 I decided to strip the car down, get the cage welded in and get the whole car repainted in side out. I also decided to sell all the parts I had and replace them with everything I always wanted. Here is the blog I setup to document the rebuild process (I apologize as it in is in reverse order):
