      That is such a great look you have going. Clean and nicely lowered.

        Thanks. I love the aggressive look. Glad to hear you use those tires to and from the track. I will most likely do the same.

          any guesses what this might be for?



          some soldering fun..



          I'll have to update the 2012 post pretty soon here, although I didn't do much beyond the suspension at the end of last year.

            You going to start bench flashing, or are you stimulating?

                  We need to chat some. I have been doing a lot of reading/studying of the Siemens .bin files.

                    Fantastic writeup man! I've neglected my E30 for too long and will finally be giving it some much needed TLC. I've been running a completely stock ecu in conjunction w/ 17# injectors, schrick 284/272 cam and headers etc for the past 5 years, it's time for an ecu upgrade and I think MS will be the way to go. Thanks for resparking my love for my car!:D

                          Hey Nando,
                          How do you like the coilovers by WOT-Tech, what I mean is how do you like the way it rides and what are the springs rates? I also have a set of spares to become coilovers! I seen yours as they were being done!Thanks.
                          Drive it like you just stole it! :p

                            well, they did a great job on the welding/fabrication. I haven't been able to plug John as much as I'd like to, but if you want coilovers for an ix I'd definitely recommend them for the fab work.

                            Shipping wasn't even that bad using my fedex account.

                            ix coilovers are really the same as any other E30 - but the struts are way shorter and you have to build your own sway bar mount. john came up with a pretty simple solution to that though.

                            I couldn't get them done locally, we lack any fab shops and even custom auto shops won't touch something like this. Last time I had a buddy do it at school, but that was eons ago and I don't have that access any longer.

                            I still need to sort out my struts/shocks - I think Bilstein made them too stiff for what I wanted. Going to live with it for now. At least the handling and grip is unbelievable. :)

                                Not quite what we did, but thanks for the sham-less plug/thread jack.
