    The wifes ETA, or, what H&R sports do to a DB car

    bone stock

    DO WORK SON

    ^yup even she was doin some work

    up in the air at the "Groupie Garage"


    its all we do on EVERY e30 we come across. New control arms, bushings and tie rods.



    and the result



    yes those are 215s on stock weaves on the rear, i dunno looks tough to me!

    before you start flaming away, the SuperSprint muffler was fixed the next day, its completely tucked up under the car now and looks really good.

    Current mod list:
    -us elips, pro lumens digital 5ks
    -Ebay Control Arm, standard CABs, tie rods (FCPGroton is the seller)
    -Bilstein Sports, H&R Sports (turner motorsports, had the best combo deal)
    -New shock mounts front and rear, motor mounts
    -New Brembo slotteds (front) and solid discs (rear), PBR deluxe pads. (GB on BimmerForums)
    -SuperSprint cat back

    mods sitting in the trunk that need to go on still (lol)
    -trans mounts, guibo, stainless brake lines, radiator hoses, thermostat, timing belt,black diving boards (and compress), short shift kit (tried to install with the rest, but got the wrong "cup" from Understeer.com) and i need to pick up the chip from Dredder still.

    she loves the car now, and i do also! its not bad for a eta. i think it needs tires as the stockies are just to tall. you go into a corner and the sidewall roll is HORRIBLE. were debating 16"s and new tires.gotta fix the nasty ES badge (trunk came from one) also thinking about a new paint job and retint the mismatched windows, maybe Tech1 rear spoiler?
    actually might give Maaco a shot. they quoted us a grand to respray it all in Alpine 3. they showed us a dupont paint guide and it looks like they can get actual factory paint. if so were gonna get it all done by the e30picnic.

          Word. My girlfriend spent all day last Sunday with me doing the transmission on my E39 528iT in my garage. We'll be spending more quality time on it this weekend.

          Nice looking ETA. Those things are indestructible!
