Evolution of an early model E30

[10/10ths]

Thanks man...It's been a long project, so I'm glad it stands out.

Didn't end up replacing the bearings yet...Will do soon though. Probably when we install the headers since we'll be under the car anyway. I think I've got next Monday reserved at Rands shop, so I should be good to go after that. The setup is awesome. Couldn't be happier. Very precise and stable in the corners, without sacrificing streetability. Super smooth on the freeway as well. Honestly I don't notice hardly any decline in ride quality, but a huge improvement in handling. c3motorsport coilovers with Koni top-adjustables and 450/750 eibachs seriously rock! When's the next Everett auto-x? I can't wait! By the way...my Konis are set to the factory setting right now. I'd like to get together with you to discuss recommended adjustments based on your experience with them at the track and on the street.

Glad your liking it, coilovers stand out as the single biggest upgrade I did to my track/autocross car (besides tires, but if you dont have a good setup your not using your tires effectively anyway) Everett doesnt really start up again until January-but Canada is the place to be for winter autocross, something like 7 events from Oct-Feb. I'll send you a link. Start with your koni's on soft for awile to break them in and try stiffer from there. I have my share of setup notes from different events around here...shock tuning is fun! When you get close to the limit they can make a big difference in your times.

Small group drive this weekend? Forza 2?

Go Kimi ^^

looks great, the only thing better than an white m-tech is a black m-tech. j/k

I saw a few pics of a red car with 5 lug and 17"rs's, It was the best looking e30 I've seen and kind of an insiration.

good work!

I'll actually be down in Seattle and Gig Harbor/Tacoma this weekend, but a group drive is definitely in order soon, and forza 2 as well. I unlocked that 2005 m3 GTR, and it's the shit on nordschleif.

Another good thing u did with the bumper swap is that u looked into the small details , like the little M-technic stickers.

Gorgeous! What else is there to say?

Ordered them through bavauto...they were pretty cheap actually. It's funny that you can no longer get the valences or side skirts new from factory, but you can still get the little stickers that go on them.

When I needed to refresh mine i paid about 6 bucks total at the stealer.

looks great. love the 1 kit, just not into the remembers

the car looks great. i love the new suspension. perfect stance. dressing the tires would also really help accent the wheels. just don't use the silicone crap (i know a great place you can get some dressing ;))

Not feeling the wheels too much on your car. Park on the street and go down all the way!

IMHO, not feeling the wheels too much on the car in your sig. I do, however, like my wheels. :) I'd love to go down the extra half inch, but the weather gets really crappy up here in the PNW during the winter, and with fresh paint it would be a shame to leave it outside.

You are entitled to your own opinion even on r3v. I see what you're saying about the garage though; if I had a useable one, my shitty paint car would be in there. The rest of your car looks nice.

Do you have the right tire size on the car? Looks good :).
