- Get the rest of my pinstriping removed (the painted-on stuff) (NOT DONE)
- Get an iS lip or another Reiger (sticking with the standard i lip)
- Paint my brake calipers (anything but stock rusted color) (NOT DONE. But I'm doing them red, fuck the haters, it's my car)
- Get my stock engine fan removed (NOT DONE)
And last but not least...
- Get some decent wheels on it! (Have the wheels, but I have to get them refinished and get tires for them)

ooohh lots of fun things to complete in the next 2.5 months.
Re-dye door cards
Install BBK and get calipers powdercoated blue
Swap IE 25/22mm sways for 22/19mm sways
Swap Vorschlag camber plates for Kmac
Install rear toe adjusters
Swap diffs
Install Mtech lip spoiler
(Maybe) swap H1/H4 setup for smoked euro smileys

m30 swap. Hopefully will include the 15lb flywheel and 272 cam from the '83 533i, and most definitely will have the Miller MAF/WAR combo. Perhaps head rebuild with 3-angle valve grind and port-match if time and $ allow.
Lots to do. I already have all the parts for the top set of things collected, it's all paid for and ready to install. The trick will be allowing myself to spend even more $ on the motor swap.Last edited by CorvallisBMW; 03-31-2010, 03:23 PM.

- Have you tried those rubber wheels meant for removing pinstripes? They attach to a drill.
- i lips look like crap IMO, maybe you could borrow an iS like you did last year ;)
- Red looks tits. Fuck the haters.
- 5 min job. done.
- Looking very forward to seeing these on your car! What's the total offset going to be?

I like the i lip, especially if you're fairly low in the front, like I am. I'll get an i if I can pick on up used for cheap, buying them new is just too spendy for a chunk of plastic. Total offset for the wheels will be ET15 in the front, and ET10 rear. I was hoping to have ET10 and ET5 respectively, but the wheels are ET35, not ET30 like I thought.
