dusted off the rieger lip.. it seems like we aren't having a winter this year, so the snows will come off soon too:



it's almost 11 years now, about time to edit the title. :p

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.

This very cool project to read and follow. Awesome updates for that ix. Geep it going

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

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

S54 dme? I like you silver ix. It looks super clean.

[nando]

I'm already bench flashing

the harness adapter is dual purpose but you've got one of them nailed :)

[ForcedFirebird]

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

[nando]

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.

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.

[F34R]

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

What size are your 6UL's? They look great with the 225 rubber.

[IronFreak]

Keep it up man, wish I had seen this thread sooner. Looks really good!

[nando]

This thread is awesome and will be a great reference for e30 owners old and new. Can't wait to see future updates with the direction you're taking with the power plant. Are you still autocrossing? If you had to get new tires would you stick with the r888's?

Unfortunately I haven't had time to do much autocross or track. little kids and no time. I'll get back to it eventually though.

I really like the R888s as an all around tire. I got really tired of dragging 2 sets of tires to the track or autox every weekend. It was nice to just show up, put a little more air in them, and drive. Then let some air out, and go home.. no changing wheels twice on a 95f summer day.

I might go with something a bit less aggressive next time though. The treadwear has been fine, my first set lasted me 3 summers, but the sidewalls are stiff as &*$# and they are also very noisy. I do like the 225s better on the street as they don't tramline as much and the steering is a little lighter, plus they weigh less.
