Nice cars man!

Got around to installing the stereo last night with the help from Chris, a local installer. GREAT price and he definitely know's his stuff. Highly recommend having someone do the wiring if you're not comfortable with installing older non common ground stereos!



This unit came with a bluetooth feature for phones. We were going to mount the mic up above on the headliner, but noticed this vent and nothing was behind it. so, thought it would look and function great at this spot.



Running speaker wire back to the rear speakers.



From thiS:


To this:


LOVE how it looks period still. The radio is very weak. i'm guessing the antenna corroded somewhere, so i need to track it down and replace.

Night shot to show the amber match.


sorry for the crap iphone pics.

Tires are being mounted today and hopefully on bbs will be on the car today or tomorrow.

it's rubbing slightly on the front, so i definitely worried with the even wider wheels going on. going to have to mess with the camber a little bit to see how to get it to not rub.

Bummer. Post back what you did if you sort it out. Either going to dig into mine later this spring or take it in and have someone with a lift adjust it.

Sorry I'm keeping the stock stereo for be value of the car. Just like to keep all original parts if I can!

I can buy the stock radio if it's for sale? All buttons work and light up?

Oooh, that radio deck... I have been looking for one with bluetooth and period correct looks, thanks!

So no problems with rubbing then with the coilovers? Actually doesn't look as low as I was expecting, looks good.

[daheechang]

Got the coilovers installed today.


As well as the euro grill. Such a small difference, but the devil is in the details.


Working on replacing this:


With this:


wanted the new tech, but wanted to keep the old school german look, so i felt this was a good balance.

Tires are due in tomorrow for the rs! ;-)

Also, where did you get it from? I think there was a zinno/tan e30 M3 local that was sold a few months back.

[Munich Man]

Insanely jealous. Nice car man good work!

[e30josh]

Can I touch it??

Looks great!

Love me a Zinno M3. Welcome to the board.

[Mlarsen]

This should be awesome!

Yep, wheel position is normal. Lowering the car might cause the front tires to rub against the body. Interested to see how low you go and if you have any rubbing. You probably wouldn't notice it with the car up on the lift and the suspension unloaded, but once you set it on the ground you might check for any rubbing. For me it happens just before full lock when turning left, in the back of the driver side wheel well.

Congrats on the purchase, the car looks great! Any pictures of the interior?

interior is tan! haven't had a chance to take pics of the interior yet, but i'll take some tonight! plan to get some srd's in there asap.

Very nice! Where'd you find the car if you don't mind me asking? I have a very similar setup currently awaiting my return to the pnw.

What are the specs on the wheels?

wheels are 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 et 14. going w/ 215/40/17 and 235/40/17 tire set up.

i had the car shipped here from north carolina. it has the turner 2.5L stroker kit.
