Wow, you work fast. Looks good.

Needs more pics.

The car looks great though, any thoughts on wheel plans?

Thanks for the comments guys. I've been swamped at work so no pics of the interior (seats and new wheel). I'll get pictures up soon.

Zach, as far as wheels, not sure. I would like to find polished rota slips 16x8 in the e30 hub bore and offset, but they don't make them anymore and I cannot find any for sale.....

SHIT! Sorry I let the cat out of the bag!

Well, I figured I haven't updated this for quite some time. I've honestly just been driving the car to and from work everyday and enjoying it. I finally pieced together my coilovers which included:

GE adjusters front and rear
IE race camber plates
AKG solid RSMs
Koni yellow shocks
Hypercoil springs (450 lb/in fr 650 lb/in rear)

Fitment of the GE sleeves was far better than I expected. I've had H&R coilovers as well as numerous GC sets and never has the sleeve been such a tight fit (almost interference fit, but in a very good way).



Additionally, I installed new control arms, tie rods, sway bar endlinks all around, as well as control arm bushings.

I still am in the midst of rebuilding my sport seats (not enough time) as well as tie up some other loose ends. I'm having issues with my amplifier which is incredibly annoying during my daily commute. Other than that, I washed, clayed, and waxed it just for the hell of it.






To go with my coilovers, I wanted rota slips 16x8 +20 in polished. Evidently, the only way to get polished was to "custom order" them which is a 2-4 month waiting period. So, I found 2 locally for cheap and bought 2 more new ones and proceeded to finish them myself. Tires should be mounted on them this week.




Sorry for the cell phone images, but you get the idea

Here the car is with the slips on. It rides much better with proper meat on the tires.

Thanks broseidon, king of the brocean.

Got my amp figured out. Luke helped me pick out a line converter and it's working well now. Still need to rebuilt both front seats, and I've developed a very small ps leak that needs to be addressed.
