Some pictures of my e30.

[M42Stephen]

I purchased this e30 back in December, but unfortunately have rarely posted here... I have to say I love it despite lurking a lot. I washed my car today and took a few quick pictures, some are p-shopped some are not. I am trying to improve my photography and the only way is practice...

Enough of my BS, here's my car:
1991 Alpinweiss 318is with 188,000 on the clock (stock top end!)
-coil-over suspension with H&R springs and Bilstein shocks
-Ronal LSs 15x7.5" with Kumho Ecsta MX tyres
-crappy Magnaflow muffler with no resonator (don't do it!!! :x)
-Euro plate filler and cut license plate (oooooooo)
-OEM French Fogs with lamin-x
-Used Hella Ellipsoids with lamin-x
-smoked turn signals
-AFe panel air filter
-tune up (most important part)
-Redline fluids
-e36 m3 shifter
-Dinan chip
-I am sure I have forgotten something...

Coming soon:
-Euro grills on order
-Euro trim soon
-DASC with smaller pulley, water-meth injection far future
-medium window tint near future
-HID kit, just gotta order bulbs

When I first got it:

Clean 318iS you've got yourself :up:

Looks really nice. Is that H&R race or sport? Sick ride.

sorry I wasn't clear there... I got a coilover kit from Ireland, used some 5.5" front H&R springs and Eibach 6" springs in the rear from a Ground Control kit. The only reason why they're different is because of the spring rates...

Clean 318iS you've got yourself

Thanks guys!

Very nice! I still can't believe how clean it is.

That is a great looking little car. Gonna add any more cylinders?

Welcome to R3V.

Since you are in Saugus (good old canyon country) is there a place called "Canyon Country Auto Body" on the main drag out there?

My Dad built that shop back in 1968 or so. He sold it in about 1973.

I have not even been through Saugus since I was 10, in 1973, so I don't remember much except CCAB and "Dyers Honey House", but I know it is big city these days.

yes this town's growth is pretty much out of hand. I will have to check out the auto body shop, but I don't recall a place off-hand by that name; nowadays there are tons of bodyshops around here.

Great looking car!!

[M42Stephen]

Thanks to everyone! I will continue to mod the car in a tasteful way, since I hate rice, but I love sleepers...which is where the ported head (possibly bigger valves and injectors) and a Downing Atlanta supercharger come in.

Sweetness. Clean Alpine.

i kinda can't since I live in California where if there's anything smog illegal on my car, it will be impounded. Not a fan of that... The Downing Atlanta supercharger is CARB legal, so if I get pulled over, it's legal and I can go on my merry way...

Depending on what you get pulled over for in a supercharged car, that is... :D
