    First Members Rides thread in 8 years

    Some of you older members might remember my old car. I still have an e30, I've been building my daily 318i for the past few years. Since it's a daily, I've been doing mostly simple things that won't take it off the road for too long. I'm taking it to it's first autocross this weekend, it'll be my first one since 2010, I'm excited to get back out there.

    The car is sitting on H&R Tief coilovers, adjusted nearly all the way up. It also has H&R sway bars front and rear, Condor rear end bushings with eccentric mounting points, Treehouse eyeball arms, Ground Control camber plates. The brakes have been converted to 325i disks all around, with brass guide pins, stainless hoses, and Porterfield R4S pads. Diff is a medium case 4.10 LSD rebuilt with 4 clutches. Wheels are magnesium Ronal racing turbo, 15x9 et10 all around, tires are Nitto NT-01 225/45/15. Engine is stock besides for an oil pan baffle and oil cooler.

    I got new euro bumpers from my friend Mike at ECS tuning, front valence and lip are new OEM from England. I welded up all the holes in the rear valence, and took all the texture off it and the rockers. Paint is original besides for the new parts and rear valance, color is Safari Beige.







    We just put up an article about it with more photos and words on StanceWorks, check it out!

              Not usually a fan of color matched wheels, but that looks damn good.

              Don't swap it

                    I love your car; the color, the wheels and the fitment are just all spot on.
                    Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - Stonea

                          Long run for sure, but I'd like more power. I'm going for a Gruppe A feel for the car, so there's a few more exterior things I'm doing as well. Interior needs addressing too, I have a pair of Recaro LSC's up front, but they're mismatched colors, and the rear seat is trashed. If anyone has any leads on an M3 rear bench please let me know...

                              wow, that's even older than mine. nice.

                              your rear seat bottom probably mounts like mine does, with exposed bolt tabs instead of the click-in style they moved to in 84. might have a bit of trouble getting an M3 seat to mount, but nothing a welder can't fix.
