Sina's BMW 318i: Project Re-Shell & Beyond! (Starting Page 46)

[freeride53]

installed the style 5's today. my front 18mm spacers are kaput so i need another pair (wtb).
car rubs in the back. initally was way worse, dimitry helped me to roll them on the fly.
drove it home across the sf bay, jouncing for a bit pretty much rolled it out, and now it only rubs on turns and hard bumps.

so i need to roll all of my fenders at the moment and get new front spacers.

my spring rates suck (eibach pro kit) so im passively looking for some firm springs all around, if anyone has a used set for 91' 318 please pm me!

lol my car was sagging in the rear so i had 2 leave 2 wheels at the warehouse.

Ditch those Eibachs man. They are softer than stock! Go with H&R Race or IE3,

Like I said, I really wish I had, because at the moment, I am getting another car painted so the funds are being diverted to it instead.

Ordering a pair of studded 18mm adapters tonight.

Also looking into a set of h&r's or IE's, as well as some other misc bushings I need.

Selling one of my bikes to afford this shit :(

Lol so I went to my fitness club this afternoon (yesterday) and tried out a new post-workout.

Came back to my car and the ignition lock cylinder/steering lock jammed up like it had been doing recently at other occasions.

Literally spent over and hour trying to finesse it open, but no give.

Called up my local BMW guru, and he refered me to another guy from Oakland, named Bo.
Bo came over and spent a couple of hours with me and we sawed the headless bolt off the kaput lock cylinder.

Long story short, we finessed it into working again from the back, but the damn thing is so worn out that I need to buy a new one tomorrow - so I'll be running around the Bay in search of one tomorrow.

Big PITA - but hope to fix it by tomorrow!

yee, we out chea d0e.

haha headed over the the BMW parts store to pick up my new ignition lock cylinder in a few minutes.

what do you guys think about putting my OEM mudflaps back on to go with the style 5's poked out the way that they are sitting flush?

[hfabricius]

I'd say go for it with the mudflaps. I always loved the way ak's car looked with the style 5s a oem mudflaps. It's a great combo.
