    Bagged V8 E30

    Bought this car with the 1UZ-FE swap already done (about 2 years ago) but was in very rough condition cosmetically. Have since resprayed it in Alpine White, built up a set of BBS RS003's, and more recently got Air Lift air suspension installed with Accuair E-Level management.

    Still plenty more to go, need to alter my exhaust so I can lower it more, as well as tidy up the interior.











    (Excuse the lack of centre caps in these pictures, they're on their way)

    Won't be everyone's cup of tea, open to all opinions/advice :D

        I like it.

        Why is the battery up behind the headlight? It looks so foreign there

              x2 Move it to the trunk. It will help balance out the car.

              Car looks great though

              edit: If your car is an 84 and doesnt have the "pocket" for a battery like the 85+ models do, a miata battery fits perfect. Ask me how I know ;)

                  looks great. I agree, to move the battery to the back to offset a lil of the added weight in the front.

                  I love the look of the car

                    Almost looks like an e46 M3 spoiler

                    Looks great! Is there an easy way to get the nose down a little more?

                        Cheers everyone!

                        Yeah will look into moving the battery to the trunk actually.

                        The rear spoiler is just a cheapie off the NZ equivalent of eBay! Just liked the way it looked.

                        And yeah the front will come down another 40mm or so, the rear another 20. :-D

                              I have a couple of OEM battery cables and junctions to relocate it. PM me if you want one shipped to the other side of the world
