What do you want/plan/need to get done before Picnic '10?

[ldsbeaker]

Decent size list this year that no one be able to tell it's done since it's all out of sight, it more just effects the driveability :P

Isn't that the worst? I'm building up both subframes from scratch, all new stuff, but no one's going to care. They'll be more enthused about a huge subwoofer, darth vader interior, "out there" paint, and mad tyte wheelz.

I've got stuff like that I need to do as well, I know my rear subframe and trailing arm bushings need to be replaced, as well as my rear wheel bearings. They aren't awful, but I can tell they're going to need it soon. I'd love to have those done before June, too.

Refresh paint a bit,
Through detailing
Possibly paint calipers red,
Tune up,
Clear coat on smoked tails,
Valve adjustment(maybe),
Smoke headlights(maybe)

Brand new 205/55/R15 Yokohama Avid V4S tires on stock weaves - Done.
Koni Adjustables front/back
IS or Rieger lip
Ellipsoids
Alignment

Thats' about all I can afford before June if I don't want to eat top ramen every day for the next month or so...

[MacBudd541]

I need to put an engine in my white car...

[cramer]

So how are people's projects coming along? Got mine listed on the previous page done! Now I'm debating on starting the door panels and wing... less then 3 months to go :)

[kronus]

- rescue paint
- chrome trim, fuck shadowline
- straighten wheels
- spoiler
- mount my damn radio properly so that it doesn't slide out when I downshift :o

[dashboardmonkey]

[Stephen]

- Get my matching MkII Recaro rear seat installed (fitted, need to actually mount it)
- Spray dye my rear parcel shelf (done, and it looks amazing)
- 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.

- Best $5 ever, they look so good nice and fresh!
- 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?

[HellzMindPlaya]

Selling your 25/22mm sways? If so I need to install a new/used set before the picnic...

[CorvallisBMW]

I'm 99% sure I already have a buyer, but if it falls through i'll let you know. The Vorschlag plates may also be FS (If KenC doesn't blow too much $ at the gay bars in Austin this weekend)

I used the rubber wheel on the stick-on crap, it took it right off. The parts that are remaining are painted on, so they'll have to be cut/buffed off at a body shop.

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.
