    M3 update

    workin my butt off to get her deady for the easter weekend and this friday.

    now all she needs is a coolant flush, oil change, and the front end put back on. OH AND A GOOD HAND WAS!






    next big project will be KW Variant 1 or 2 coil overs. but that maybe a while

      Get some pictures with the suspension settled and it put back together. I hope you have better luck with es100 than what ive heard.

        I had those tires on my firebird when i 1st bought it. And i loved them. I think that i may go back to them when i need to get tires again. Which will be soon cause my back tires are very low on tread.

          those wheels look bad-ass on yer m3...

          in the last pic, it looks like theres a caster issue with the front pass side wheel though. prolly just the angle.

                    eh i got 15k out of a fresh set of es100s, that was with 4 or 5 de's, a couple of auto-x's, a canyon run or two, street miles, and camber. i just rotated em every oil change (bout 3k miles). that was key imo.

                        Awesome, YAN!

                        BTW, I believe those are T1-R's, not ES 100's.

                              these suckers (es100) are noisy. they pick up all the little rocks and stuff. they cant be that soft compound. anywho here are some more pics. again like yesterday, i spent from 4:30 to 8:30 ish working on the car to put it back together. a bit disaponted in the evo bumper and hood seal, partially, actually all my fault. i didnt allign them good, and the bumpers arnt on the way I want them, and the car sits up a bit high, and and, i noticed a small leak from the thermostat. uh.... so after the valve job and the coolant flush, im gonna have to tare most of the front end off again to look into the leak, throw air ducts on, route the pipes and cut holes in the undertray to mount the air runners. EVO II front chin spoiler w/splitter and a EVO III rear wing are getting prepped/painted by a buddy im typing this. should be good one day soon.

                              on to the pics







                              sorry for the crappy pics.
