My e30's timeline-shes come a long way

[Mike325]

I have just finnished a shit load of work over the winter. I am not done yet, but pretty close. I have put about 200 miles on her since I have finished. Over the winter I have done the following:

3.73 LSD
Powerflex rear subframe bushings
New TA bushings
Stock rotors with ultimates pads (very nice set up btw)
New hard brake lines/all 6 rubber lines replaced with Turner SS lines
25MM master
New fuel hoses
New gas tank/filter
16x7 rota grids with BFG rubber
Turner wheel studs
Re-did the exhaust
Z4 3.0 SSk

This is on top of everything else:o

Some before, during and after pics for you to enjoy;)

good progress, can't say i'm digging the black wheels nor the rear valence though


my 2 cents

[SandyEggoE30Girl]

I actually like the rear valence. What is it?
I think it finishes off the back of the car.

[Mike325]

The rear valance is a Racing Dynamics.

Thanks for the comments

How long are you studs? Hows the quality of the Turner stud kit? Are you using a spacer?

The car looks great!

How do you like your 3.73's in it?

The Turner kit is very nice. They are 90mm. I have a 20mm spacer.

The 3.73 is a very nice upgrade. I would never go back to the 2.93.

I'm usually not a fan of black with polished lip, but damn dude, I LOVE YOUR CAR!

[Garageaholic]

I love the car. 3.73 is clutch. Love the wheels. big fan of black centers, especially on a black car. What about an is lip perhaps? finish it off nicely.

[Mtriple]

red subframe??? interesting...

[jimsill]

car looks tight as hell, IS lip up front and your good to go

[Mike325]

Thanks guys, it means a lot:D

I need to get a lip and I agree that an is lip is the way to go. I will be looking out for one.

Thanks again.

Nice car, good progress.

What material is the rear valace? I have a very similiar piece on my 88(fiber glass) and I was under impression that it was a Kamei.

[BDSax]

damn mike, i always wondered how your car looked. LOOKS GREAT!!!

[ldsbeaker]

Hey, your car looks great! I can't wait to drop mine. I'm so into the RD apron...

p.s. I see that you had some rust right behind the front driver's side wheel. Looks like it might have been damage from a mis-used factory jack.
I have similar damage from a PO...
Have you gotten that addressed? If so, how. ($$?)
