"Lizzy" My Grey 325e

I always kinda liked the 2-tone look you had going on, (and the Hellas). She looks good with the valence painted, though.

Looking forward to more updates!!

Im going to build my self a new exhaust, and this time Im not going to try and do it for so cheap. Parts are already ordered including some V band clamps.

Did a bit of work on the front end of the e30 today. Everyone kept telling me to paint my air dam so I did a quick job just so its one color. I think I liked it better white and cracked. What ever.
Also removed the rest of the air conditioning, and moved the Hella dual tones behind the grills where the air con radiator used to be. Took the Hella 500s off so I can move them to the truck.

I think part of it is I did a bad job hanging the exhaust which let it move back and forth to much which let the shity band clamps fail.

oh that sucks!

Thanks man.

I am currently a bit pissed. My day got destroyed by a failed Summit exhaust band clamp. It slipped off of the pipe (yes it was the correct diameter for the pipe) and my center section fell off at highway speeds on the way to my autox event that I payed for. I still have the back section with the muffler. This time I am going to pay some one with a lift to do it professionally and reuse my muffler. Ill have them throw a new cat on as well sins I have to pas smog ASAP.

POOOOOOP!!! Money I didnt want to spend.

Digging this thread! Cool car :) Looks like you and I are doing several of the same things - but your car looks a lot better than mine!

nice job! Just got done doing the wife's struts on her Grand Cherokee.

Did my rotors, pads, and lines today.
One question. WHY THE F**K DID BMW PUT THE REAR LINES UNDER THE SUBFRAME!!! They DO NOT need to be there. So I re-bent the lines a bit to make it easier to take them apart in the future.
Looked at the diffand thought about taking it out for new clutches, then looked at my watch (3:40pm) and said hell no. Ill do that another day. If I had a garage I could have started. Poop
My buddy came by to work on his Suzuki 250 as well. Took this epic picture of me at my best.

Just found this. 40% diff lock up kit. I wish I had known about this before I ordered from Bimmerworld!

My brakes are already very good for OEM brakes. Stop on a dime, the best I have ever had on any of my cars with out modification. I cant wait to feel how much better they will be.
I am also hoping for a noticeable improvement with my diff as it has close to no lock up right now.

O.O

very nice!

Pictures speak for them selves. Brake upgrades. I decided on the Stop Tech street performance pads because I really only drive autox and track pads wont be much good on an autox cores because they will never get the heat they need.
Also got new clutches for my diff. :)
It should all be going in on Friday. I was planning to go to Bimmerfest, but decided against it because I want to save the $ and work on Sunday on my friends new house.
