Your aware that your cage isnt fd legal right? Itll be fine for grass roots tandoms but no a piller bar (halo or down bars) wont pass tech for pro-am or pro. Looks good otherwise.

Got these two things done today.
Threw in this 360mm wood nardi to match my shift knob. Love the way it looks, but it's just not practical for track driving. Its much too thin/slippery. Please excuse the Wiring hanging out. I'm doing an audio install.

Then I threw on the ricer accessories. LED Tail lights. I'm a douche so I love the way they look.

From my first car, to my race car.
I figure a few of you guys would appreciate the transformation it has made. I know I just posted those bottom pictures a few weeks ago. Those pictured lacked progress. I'm still going to put together a build thread.
Here's a bunch of choice pictures of my car over the years.
It started out as a 1989 325is with 140k miles on it and two owners.
You can see the transformation to what is today.


Stock as a rock, with just my deep dish nardi installed.

I love this car more than any other inanimate object that has ever been in my life(no homo). So much so that I named it. It was my very first car. I have been through 5 or so other cars, but this has always and will always be around. My ultimate goal with this car is to campaign it in formula drift. It has come a long way, and there is a long way to go. But with the help of my friends and sponsors, I have no doubts that it will happen.

Here's a quick mod list in no particular order for those interested.
89 325is
m30b35
g260/6
Good&Tight engine mounts
Solid engine and trans mount bushings.
D2 Coilovers
Magnaflow Race cat, 2.5 inch exhaust.
4.10lsd
Trm 15x8
13 point cage done by Moti at Blackbird Fabworx.
Custom solid mount DTM short shifter done by Chris at Castro Motorsport.
Cobra suzuka Pro Solid mounted.


If You have any questions about the work done to the car, feel free to pm me.
I'm always interested in adding companies to my program, so please contact me if that's something you are interested in.
