    ecuaE30's Car Log

    I bought my car about a year ago. Drove it stock for a couple of months before I began to make mods to it.

    The person I bought it from took good care of it, and I plan to do the same.

    So far I've done general maintenance like change the timing belt, water pump, air intake boot, and a tune up. Essentials.
    In the last couple of months I've tucked the bumpers, Upgraded the suspension with Eibach spring, Bilstain shocks, ST Sway Bars, and a front Strut brace.

    Near Future mods I have pland are, euro bumpers w/ m-tech 1 body kit, euro ellipsoids, new upholstery. Mark D chip, new radio, rims, momo steering wheel. Poly Urethane bushings, And other minimal upgrades.

    Motor Work is only a sound that comes out of my mouth right now, But definitely something I will do in the future.

    Here are pics I took with my phone today of what I got right now.

      Looks like a good start. I like the bumpers tucked like that. I think a later style front valance, eben with the stock metal bumper would look nice.

        Good car to start off with, 87 325is FTW!

        Do your baskets have a polished lip? Any more pics of them. I was thinking of doing the same to mine until I can get some different wheels.
