totally forgot about this thread. thanks bro! Not much to report here, car has just been hanging out in the garage till I either hit the yard for parts or feel like working on it.

Here's a little influence tho. Wanted to build a kind of dtm inspired street cruiser.



little driveway shot



One thing I did do though is install some 55w HID's I had lying around the garage. No high beams though.... Not really a fan of hids on anything, but projectors. The light output though is worth it for the safety factor.

Was able to stealth mount them in the front bumper with some hid brackets. Then cut a small hole with a grommet and pulled the wires through under the headlight. Hopefully condensation doesn't build up.



As for the hood still debating my options. Got my welder at home and shaved the spray nozzle, but unsure if I want to respray it. I was thinking about ordering paint from PaintScratch, and doing it myself, but trying to match the old faded paint would be impossible with a spray can. I need a nicer trunk anyway so if I come across anything in the yard I'll probably grab those. Leaving me on what to do with the current hood? Maybe spray it olive to match the bumpers?




Chopped on a 2nd set of wheels im thinking of. Crown Vic Mesh. 16x7 +6

Should sit almost identical as the Centra's.

If you can tell here the complete rear section of the car has been reprayed. It's the right color, but whoever was the backyard mechanic did a horrible job with matching and blending. On the passenger side you can see an uneven spray job that really irritates me. I was able to color sand what they tried to blend on the door, and restore the original paint. Most likely I'll do the same on the other side.

Thinking about jazzing up the interior with a moon eyes pedal, and volt meter. Probably use the gas pedal as a dead pedal instead.



Never had good luck with batteries in the e30. Hopefully this will change that. Having installed an amp/sub with HID's is probably why. I do like my music loud.

Super stoked. Finally found a wheel to replace my destroyed centra. After searching for nearly a year. Thanks Stanceworks.

I really want the white wheels you had. They look perfect. Or maybe just grab a set of the esm DTM clones.

[E30_Pare]

I've only seen a handful of sets floating around online. Anywhere from 500-1k. If your lucky you could get them out of the yard like I did for <200$. I'm not really a fan of the DTM reps, if I had to get another set of wheels would have to be Zender Turbos.



For a junkyard set though I'll be looking for the crown vic meshies. They come in +6 and +20 offsets if your interested. Then all it would take is some wobble bolts to compensate for the 5x114 - 5x112 pattern.

As for your 190 I think the r129/evo 1 wheels would look perfect or the 6 slots. I like the 6 slots, but I don't think my car can pull them off.

Anyone one have experience with slotted struts/camber bolts/crash bolts. Trying to figure out how to get some front camber on the 190 without spending 1k. The LCAs have eccentric bolts but are only good for +/- .5 degrees of front camber.

Here's the kind of wheel fitment I've been battling. Mexi poke for days

Already bought some 8 slots lol picking them up Tuesday

[E30_Pare]

I derped those are 8 holes i was thinking 6 slots

Adding neg camber at the LCA will increase poke (and track), you would need to move the strut top inward.

190s are extremely limited on performance upgrades. Surprisingly limited.
