Semi-introduction

[BigFurryWhale]

Hi guys. I've been lurking and posting a little for the last while and never really got half-decent pictures of my car up, so here they are!

I haven't really done much to it in terms of mods. It has DIY all red tails, clear turns and smoked sidemarkers. Currently sitting on m3 springs.

Hopefully this summer I'm going to get an IS lip and plate filler, and paint a bunch of stuff black for contrast (shadowline, etc).

The pics! Pardon the amateur-ness of them.























One of the cooler things about the car:

Very clean. Any performance mods on list for the future?

Not for the near future. I daily drive it, so I'm trying to keep it manageable (that's why the m3 springs) and I can't really afford a lot of down time. My aspirations for the distant future would be getting coilovers/skid plates and rallying the shit out of it one day, but that's probably far off.

That is a nice, clean car you have there. I love the glass sunroof.

It's a pretty cool piece indeed.

I forgot to mention, if anyone could make up a sig for me really quick, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Clean alpine. I'm lovin the glass sunroof for sure. It opens though, correct? It was hard to see a crank/switch. Pull off that rear bumper trim and replace it thought, or even toss some bondo on it and spray it with some SEM trim paint. With the fixed trim it's a very clean car, that one area kinda detracts from it's overall appearance. :) Welcome!

Thanks. And ya, the sunroof does open like any other sunroof (tilt and open). Ya, I've been meaning to get new rear trim and touch up the paint on the rear bumper there.

It's also a fairly rare piece as well, nice looking car but it's begging for some new bumper trim.

Great looking car, as others have said (fix/paint that trim or BAN!) ok maybe a little less caffiene or something.

Quick questions: Did you put the M3 springs on? I am lead to believe that it makes a 1" drop, is that about right? Do you find it firmer?

Thanks,
Luke

Well, I was sitting on eibachs before (which were too low and too soft for my application) before I switched to m3 springs, so it's hard to comment on the drop from stock. I would say that it looks lower than stock, and the ride feels perhaps firmer than eibachs. So, I would say the m3 springs will drop and stiffen up a 325. Might not give you much if you're in a 318 though. I think they're great for daily driving.

I can probably take measurements if you want.

Nah....no worries. The GF wants to be an inch lower in the front, so the M3 springs should fit the bill.

Thanks!
