Bought a POS, this is R3Vs fault

Soooooo I know I said the suspension was done, but I actually never replaced the rear shocks. I found one of my Mustang rear Koni's for a great deal initially, but the Ground Control top mounts and the second Koni took a little longer to acquire. I was hoping to find another smoking deal, but after staring at the other pieces in my garage, I finally just bought one from Summit and had the second Koni the next day. Install took all of 1 hour, including stopping for my silly pics. A Bluntech relic was used in this pic as a tribute to the similar pic from the Aluminum Monster when I previously had done the same mod.


My favorite part of this mod is that the rear droop is significantly reduced so the shock can actually use the full range on a lowered car.


Also, being February and just crossing the 167k mark with a functioning odometer seemed like a good time to do an oil change. Life as a Dad meant the oil change happened at night

...and yes, I staged that pic for you guys (and the hope that it would get Penzoils attention on IG lol)

Rear Motorsport still present...


Spent $15 on AlfaBB and added a plate frame from Monza Motors (Ferrari, Alfa, Fiat shop) that closed years ago. Feels like the right patina...





Thinking about painting the badge (restoring it??) But not sure what color Blue I need to get from Testors or something. Anyone know?

I had that happen to an OE BMW badge from the 2000's when they really started cheaping out on them. Thankfully, they are much better now.

Yes, its no longer a complete set for $50...

$46.50 OBO tree fiddy discount

Ironically, this pic is the last time you'll see that SSSquid Motorsports badge on the nose as it flew off as soon as I got on the freeway... I guess the car definitely didnt like it and rejected it.

Good time to get a deal on the trunk badge!

Joined Project Cars Anonymous this last weekend for a meeting. Fun stuff, pretty funny TIC stuff. Was hosted by AutoKennel in Costa Mesa


Loved this MK2 GTI.


Took this pic just as the sun was setting...

They were only 50$ lol

Huh, I tried to buy those but I guess you PM'd him first. I think they're kinda cool, but I'm also glad I didn't spend $50 on something that I'm not 100% excited about.

Still want them? lol

I kinda like old patina emblems. It feels more vintage and authentic to the car.

Agreed. I put new roundels on my E30 and kinda wish I kept the original rear one on there.

Can't remember if I saved it somewhere or not.

[MrBurgundy]

Those look


like shit

The new roundels are cool, but I kinda like old patina emblems. It feels more vintage and authentic to the car. But it's all subjective. I can also see the allure of having newer nice roundels.

The rear is an e30 specific fit? Where from

They are reproduction items made by SSSquid a few years back. Proper front & rear fitment

I'm split on these emblems too. I think it depends on the car and the overall look and intent.

Yea, I'm on the fence too...
