Originally posted by SpasticDwarf View PostSorry dude, you don't know what goes in to lowering e28s. I can confidently say, that to my knowledge (and several others) I have the second lowest daily driven e28 out there, next to Austin's car which is a balls-to-the-wall setup compared to mine.
The car's rear fenders are cut lower. Don't like it? Tough.
The car already has positive rake-
My car sitting remotely level and having a bit more gap up front is a higher priority than looking like a damn drag funny car.
In any case, I'm about to drop another $600ish into lowering the car another inch. Perhaps a little more rake, but don't talk out of your ass. I may not know track bullshit like some on here, but I know about three things very well-
Wheels
Tires
Low.
Try a little harder to rip on something because you have an elitist attitude, think you're the shit because you have a track car, and shit on every thread I make, and then you might "get it".
Oh wait...
Let's see your car's "stance" if you want to talk the talk.
Post up or shut up.

Fix it.

Sweet . . .
Oh wait...
Originally posted by ebelements View PostBah, ride height. I'm talking stance here. It isn't just winding your coilovers all the way down at each corner and hoping for the best. Dude's car is super close to sitting perfect, but right now it looks like he's got bags of gravel in the trunk.

By your logic, this car is lowered wrong then?

Originally posted by delatlanta1281 View PostAny car that is lowered more than an inch and a half will look like that. I could probably search through this site and find hundreds of cars with rear wheel tuck, race and street. What do you say to them?

Originally posted by Jb325is View PostOh no elitist track-whores and stance judges!!
I'd say Mike's car is pretty even.. My e34 has roughly the same amount of tuck F/R and it's too "raked" IMO

Hey Charlie, I want to give you 5000 to spend on anything you want on your car. You have to put www.hp-photo.net on both sides of your car in large letters. Want to do it?
Originally posted by delatlanta1281 View PostHonestly Charlie, He is anything but Metro. If someone he trusts preps his car, what's the problem??? My best friend works on my cars for me all the time. In fact, he is driving one as we speak. Does that make me a woman?
JB, your car is set up wrong. I can tell by the wheel tuck in the back. FIX IT or I will be forced to get pushy via the internet. ;)
When are we gonna hang out again? In a non gay manner.
Originally posted by Charlie View PostI only judge him by his BFC posts. Which are pretty gay.
I know too many shop monkeys. Frankly, for me, half the fun of being a car guy is tearing the shit apart, not just driving it.
-Charlie
I trust the shop. When Global BMW couldn't fix a Dinan S3 M5 it went to my sponsors shop.

It is a matter of having the time to put into the racing. I hope to gather more sponsors when I am actually racing ;) Having a shop name on the side of my car and how often it is seen though has helped the shop. Even if it is just an 'HPDE' car.

Agreed.
I don't cheat on teh R3vs anymore so I can't say how he is on BF.C. But he's really cool in person (where have I heard that b4???)
I don't know how "prepped" his car actually is, but, I know guys who do tag team Race prepped cars to save time and money. They also switch driving duties as well.
All of this probably doesn't matter however, I really doubt the OP plans on tracking this e28... I seriously doubt it would pass p-lot inspections.

Originally posted by dinanm3atl View PostSeriously? So every driver in every pro series is a woman? When I have an event I drop my car off. The shop checks it over, replaces parts, bleeds brakes, installs pads(that come from a sponsor) and I go have fun. How does that make me a woman? My radiator neck broke off at an event... I went into my tow rig grabbed a fresh radiator(oh yah it was free) and installed it. I know how and can work on my own rig.
