    i got pulled over on the highway for em in maryland. so im selling em put the stock tails on.

    I have noticed since i got this car (and my VW had 15% tints) without any tints, cops can see who is inside. I guess they dont like a black 22 year old with dreads in a car like this so i get pulled over quite often. I honestly am sick of it. fist time was in DC for not stopping at the 1st white line on the road at a stop sign.lol
    i dont want the extra attention so im selling em and getting tints ASAP!
    lol i love being white. sorry to hear about dickless pigs fucking with you because of racial insecurity.
    on a lighter note. how much for the tails?

    so like i stated earlier the cars shocks were blown..the car came with some HR sports so i bought some bilstein HD's and installed!!!
    This was my first time taking apart any suspension. It felt like i was doin some serious car buildin when the rear was in pieces.lol
    i cant find the pic of the front shocks but who cares.

    And here is the new ride height! still cant wait to get the GC coils tho. not low enough in the rear and the car rolls quite a bit still. its better than the stock look above though! slightly better in the rear much better up front.

    I have been slacking on this thread HAAARD but i hope to get caught up this week. I had a horn installed in the grey wheel, guess i just never took a pic. I now have a black momo wheel that looks very nice but here is the wheel and pedals installed. I think it looks very nice.
    EXCEPT for the cracked dash. such an eye sore. eventually ill be able to replace it.
    Another thing was the car had pink coolant in it so i swapped to the bmw. peace of mind goes a long way for me

    I bought this april 8th and my first concern was tune-up & suspension, along with some minor cosmetic changes. The steering wheel I HATED. WAAAY TOOOO BIG. Pedals could use some changes along with the shifter and ebrake lever.

    Also i kept smelling fuel every time i started my car. one of the injectors had a small leak so i seafoamed and replaced some fuel parts and other little things. spark plugs, gasket

    Im trying to get rid of the passenger seat but since u cant see it with the driver in it it can wait. I would like something more snug though!

    ***********Let me say a little more about myself, the car and my cituation...I havnt looked up any info on bmw's until i got the car. there i said it
    I grew up into the skylines, rx7's, 240's, silvias, s2000, Evo's etc. Very JDM..minus the un-fly shit like mismatched parts and visible zipties everywhere. my dream car in hs was an ae86.lol So when this e30 came along i had no cue about m20's or any bmw motors for that matter. what i did know was the 3 series was born in my model and the 3 series meant business..my kinda business

    Soo if you notice in this thread something looks wrong, or im skipping a step, or you say to yourself, wtf is he talking about.
    PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME!
    Ive been on a self taught beemer crash course since i bought the car but every weekly meet i go to i realize how little i still know.haha i enjoy learning so please share

    First Sighting

    So i used to own a 98 vr6 Jetta. Got sick/bored with front wheel drive so i posted an add on craigslist for a trade. Got LOTS of ppl wanting to trade 240's and almost did it until this came along

    This is the first car I will be building on my own so hopefully i do pretty well learning how to go sideways and keep a RELIABLE DD. I am not a mechanic but have been into motorsports all my life. I am hoping with all the reading of magazines ive done and seeing proper cars I may be able to build my own. Since im not a mechanic at heart you might say, well why buy such an old car and go through the hastle. I LOOOOOVE to drive. weather its 8in of snow (im from buffalo), sleet, rain or sunny, i just enjoy it. I enjoy the feedback a car gives a driver. It can grow to be a deeper connection between car and owner after enough seat time.

    Saying that, i feel REAL sports cars, and by sports i mean hard driving, need to be rwd. The input and balance is too good to be true on this platform. This is also my first rwd car so i will be respecting her to start, then abusing her.lol

    The last thing i need is to wrap it around a tree in my back roads. it rained today and a 240 punk got sucked into the ditch.haha I know heel & toe and can do them braking VERY hard into corners with my VW but the first one i did in the dry with this car felt soo much more jerky! ive got a lot of practicing to do.
    I went to show a friend the car and tried some typical rwd tricks...burnout, donuts, ebrake anything....couldnt do it. e brake didnt work actually! it only engages with one wheel

    maybe ill never dynamic drift.....
