Redefining "E30"

[e30edward]

hahahah I love how everyone digs it on yours but bashes mine :-p
In any case, it looks sick. More pics!

And what you did to yours was nice too!
I don't really see the difference here?

Maybe they don't like e28's?

Some cars can get away with the ratty look, others cannot.

E30's can get away with the ratty look, E28's cannot.

all these years ive been heading the wrong direction. admittedly im old and dont "get it" but that looks like shit to me. if you had a 700hp twin cam under the hood it wouldnt matter but i dont feel it at all

I think we established that it takes multiple wheel styles with different offsets on the car to really feel the "presence" of these vehicles.

I'm beginning to feel like a grumpy, old, scared of new things, guy at 27 years of age.

Please don't do this. The Volkswagen homos with gauged ears, VW tattoos and fat wannabe pin up girl, girlfriends have already done this to their cars. The E30 is a respectable machine and should not be mistaken for Volkswood and their majority of homo drivers.

Respect deez nutz. my car is very rude and disrespectfull, your car is just a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

the car looks cool. i've always enjoyed that green on a car

[Eric]

I dig it. Rusted hood too?

nope, just trunk

i have been waiting to see this car for so long.

um, should i be flattered, or scared? I have a feeling you might stand over my bed at night w/ a butter knife chanting sweet nothings :o

j/k i've been waiting to drive this dumb thing for so long!

That's nice!

Love those green turbines!

thanks! I actually don't like them like i thought i would, but we'll see how it turns out

Id like to see some side shots and maybe some front end shots. But i strangely find it appealing.

when the front end gets put together then i'll post some pics

thanks dude, your car is an inspiration! I don't have the balls to add a wooden roof rack and props though.

I don't have 700hp, but will this be ok?



love your 2002 by the way...

I'm beginning to feel like a grumpy, old, scared of new things, guy at 27 years of age.

sucks man, i'll be 27 in june... maybe i'm going through a pre-mid life crisis???

guess im the only one who isnt really feeling it....

I'm not either actually (the green wheels + flares)

already done mang. My wife has a MK5 GTi, maybe that's why i think i can butcher a BMW?

[bimmer_E30]

i love it.


moar pics dude.

[Eric]

Moar pictures of the car and the System I's.

I think you and I have the same appreciation for M system 1 wheels!


Did you know there are two different style M system 1's? I've been told that the ones with the notches in the face are cast, and the ones without are forged. I've also been told that they are all forged, just different designs.

None the less, i have 1 wheel with the notches and 3 without. the one with the notches felt heavier, but maybe it is just my psychy knowing that that one is suposedly cast and heavier. maybe i'll weigh it today.

Cast or Forged, i do know that the one with the notches in the wheel face hit my brake calipers with 20mm spacers, and the ones without cleared... hmmm

So here are some more pics just for you

notches in the wheel face



no notches, see the difference?



here is the backside, wheel to the left is the supposedly cast wheel



even if the other one is forged, and just as light as the others, it bugged me. I planned on getting another notchless wheel and move Mr Notchy to spare tire duty, but I cam across a set of these instead...





Finally somebody mention the front fans being spaced out.

I added some spacers, and in my opinion, a bit too much! So i think i'll cut the spacer size in 1/2. I was trying to get away from the hub cap look. If the green wasn't enough, having the fan blades stick out into oncomming traffic would surely do the trick! but now that it's on the car, i don't think i like it. :(

pics!



spacers

[Jhonno]

Your information on the cast vs. forged is correct.. The cast ones do weigh more also..

I have a full set of forged.. :)
