Nicademus' 1986 325e Journal

Whats wrong with KYB's really?

I dont know that theres anything worng with them, but bilstiens are stiffer and a bit more well engineered as i understand it

[Nicademus]

Yeah, but you could just resell the billys and run the kybs for not much money. Although the billys are better

I already have the eibach springs and rear Bilstein sport shocks.

Haha, find somone in pnw to help you out one day... if you really want to be frugal run those kyb shocks at like 160 a set or something ridiculously cheap

I completely agree. What I really need is to lower the damn thing. I guess I'm not that confident about it since I've never lowered a car and I still need to buy some front Bilstien sports.
Its odd, I'll blow money on certain items, but other ones I'll hold out on. I've spent a lot of money on stuff I already have multiples of, but when it comes to the shocks I won't open my wallet. I tend to purchase items I can readily install myself a lot sooner than ones I'd have to have help with.....or allah forbid, pay someone to do it.

Thanks, I got those off here and put them on a couple weeks ago. I think I should put orange bulbs behind them though.

I need to put my bottlecaps back on because the tires I'm rolling on now are garbage. I call them my racing slicks. My bottle caps have nice tires on them (nice as in, not worn out).

Seems pretty slow on R3V the last couple days, so here's some new pics. I recently put some new parts on my car such as:
- Hella H4/H1 Headlights
- Hella yellow Foglights (Thanks Kronus :D)
- Euro Grilles



Check out the barrels of diesel fuel in the background. We got about 300 gallons for freeee.

My brother got a really nice 1986 Corolla GTS aka AE86 today. Its interior is in great shape and its a slick top. I gave my brother those Gotti/Longhammer looking wheels I bought a while back. They look so good on it. Thing red lines at around 9k which is awesome. I really want one. I was looking at getting one of those the same time I got my e30. I want so many different cars, but don't worry I love my e30 :D

ill buy your handbrake boot from you.

Ok buy it :D

[daniel]

ill buy your handbrake boot from you.

[Stephen]

Well PM me a price ;)

I have to decide, i have some money i can spend. Wheels? seats? eyecandy? or engine.

[Nicademus]

God i want those seats

If anyone wants them they can always buy them from me :D
