that last pic looks great.
can you put back the piece that looks to be dragging on the front end?

The yellow/Orange thing is my windshield washer line. It's just chillin cuz i seemed to have lost my washer pump during my last motor swap :(

I took out my studs and am running long lugs for now to get the caps to fit. Some pics from my HTC for now. Decent photoshoot is coming.

Alright... but only cuz you were too shy to say hey at the picnic.

[Wishno87]

Your beater getting more attention then you garage car is just stupid.

This will be the last modification to this car until i make use of my G265 :D

Plus im pretty satisfied with the looks of the Vert so all i really have left to do for a while is suspension and brakes which is next on the list.

This is what i did today. Thanks to ck_taft325is for the hookup!



Will get a formal photoshoot and thread once i have a few issues worked out (studs too long, more spacer, hubrings)

Looks so nice on an early model car. I always got, "needs more low in the front", and you saw my oil pan! The high arches in the rear make the front end not seem so high. Hope you're happy with 'em, Josh! They look amazing on the ride ;) I'll miss 'em, but glad to pass 'em on to a local(ish) enthusiast!

Ya it probably could. Im lucky to to have been able to lower it as much as i did though. He doesn't really care for modifying cars.

Your dad's car could use a set of those drop hats

[Wishno87]

Got the M3 springs and the RDs on my dads car for now. I think our M3 springs must be the two different rates because they sit differently.







The vert is in a pretty sad looking state right now. Pulling it out for a quick wash.

[Wishno87]

Did you notice any difference between noise/handling/bottoming out? with the spring pads out?

Not in the front at all. The back did feel a little more NVH because the springs arnt held in as tightly as they were. Not sure about the bottoming out. This car is riding on stock blown struts anyway
