nice, never been there. We need to organize a good local ride, since I dont know anyone around here.

I've ben to Loganville just to pick up my Alpine head unit haha. But yeah I don't know how many members are in Georgia. There are a lot of nice E30's in Flowery Branch but they aren't on R3V unfortunately. What did you use for suspension?

I used all stock replacements, all rubber. I am sure you see the opinions here will vary, but I don't track the car ever, and will only be doing spirited street drives so for me poly or anything like that was not on my wish list. After I rebuilt the rear with all stock in my red vert, I saw a huge difference. Did the same with the white car. I like the response of the rubber. No experience with poly on these cars so I cant comment on that. If we ever meet up and you want to drive it for feel to compare to a shot suspension we can do that. For me it was about how I wanted to use the car. I go on long trips 13hrs plus and wanted the comfort, which I hear sacrifices some performance. Works for me though

Resting on her 4 feet again for the 1st time in 6mnths. I went for a short ride, and it felt good to be in the car. Its not done but its mobile again. I have a video I am trying to upload so I will add that when I can. More to come!

Here is da vid


It is a rainy afternoon here in GA, so I just rinsed the car off. The layer of dust was thick

Awesome thread!

Add another white vert to your area. I am about to start working in suwanee and should be moved over to the area within a month.

Definitely looking to find some BMW friends there. I have a lot to learn even though this is my 3rd

I have had a few, just never did this level of work to any of them.

Took the white car out for a drive today. PS rear caliper broke in the driveway. Seems the project is never done. Minor set back, they have a warentee so that is good. Reorganized the garage, and did oil changes on the dailies for the wife and I. Rain set in and it was cold all day but I got the work done. Red car has a whine that I fear is the fuel pump but I'll keep monitoring it. Pics of rear camber for reference, is this normal?



Please comment about the camber

Moved some pics so I will repost them.... I decided to buy some little shit for the car here and there. Front plate delete, bumper clips, vert top flaps, LED light bar... Blah blah! No pics right now, but I'm chipping away at it. It still needs uhhhh A LOT! speedo does not work and we still have this broken caliper, but... This is the game. I will be scouring the for sale thread all night to catch some deals.

Red car blew a coolant hose this weekend. One of the smaller ones which of course auto part stores dont carry at all around here. Cant even order them through them. Online I go.

[rcsoundn1]

UGH I have so many BS parts coming in! I love it. they trickle in to make a week go by. Euro grills paid for and on their way!!!

[rcsoundn1]

Got back to work this weekend, fixed the OBC lights with LED bar replacement, put in the trunk lights and wired them both up, and did a front plate delete. Pics are better than all these words...







That front bumper is only good for scrap. PS bumper shock is also trash.

Another $70 in parts on order. Coolant hoses and random other junk to keep this pair running. Now to check to see if the white car ever had its TB/WP done. Any suggestions on checking to see if they were done?
