My first real post

Nice ride - I gotta do one of those "real post's" too, real soon :)

[alpinaclone]

Nice color! Usually you can get away a little bit with darker wheels with brake dust, but damn, give them a wash :)

already did man, look at the last 2 pics.

[Kilawin]

Nice...with nice options too. rear headrest, rear center fold down, iS sideskirts. What other options on it?

[stevofthahill]

You located in tucson? Cause i know the member that car used to belong to. Always loved calypso though.

[alpinaclone]

Yeah, I'm in tucson. PO seemed a decent guy. Do you know any history on the car? As far as options are concerned, I don't really know too much other than what you mentioned. It had premium sound, but that was all ripped out. It should have an lsd, I think that is it, it just has the 5 button obc and a crank roof. The whole interior is trash, except for said rear seat. It will eventually be replaced with black perforated vinal w/ a vintage recaro drivers seat out of the old alpinaclone. So the rear seat will be taking the trip.:( Thanks again everyone for the kind words.

That looks awesome! I'm definitely going to put my IS side skirts on now. ;)

[alpinaclone]

Here are a few more pics for you guys.


Spiff325 rip off, My oldest, An engine bay shot, and the headights; i'm not to sure what I think of these yet.

Yeah, I didn't think I liked side skirts until I saw these. I'm really diggin them.

[MIKe30]

Yup, it is. idk if it is the truth or not but the po said that that was the only year that the side skirts came as standard.

i was actually being a little sarcastic... afaik, there are no such things as 91 325is's... there are 91 325i's with the sport package, but no 91 325is's

anyway, it looks good. auto or 5spd?

Oh, fooled me :D. Anyway, my 91 325i with sport package is a 5 speed.

nice, for some reason most calypso's i see are auto. love the color more and more everytime i see it...

[e30love]

That color is awesome. What is it? really clean car

[DEV0 E30]

Nice car!

Always good to see a fellow local join here.

[alpinaclone]

This weekend, i'm gonna give the interior a good scrub and install my new high zoot shift knob, i'll take take some pics and post em up. I also am going to take out the rear spring pads because the car has rake like bad 80's camaro street machine. Got my tax money too, so i'm gonna see how much money I can scam the wife out of and order up my suspension bits.

[alpinaclone]

Looks good except for the headlights.

I second the headlight comment. They give off some good light but look like refugees from pep boys. I have some smilies along with some other goodies at my parents house in NY that I have to have my dad ship out to me.
