Terrible cell phone picture taken while driving. The risks I take for your viewing pleasure.
Also, pretty sure I saw Austin headed NB on 99E last night around 6:45. I was fresh off work and not paying too much attention though.

I wanted to try to make an E30 without shit weight distribution for auto-x/track days, but I don't think that's going to happen with the other mods that are done to it, which add a lot of weight up front. I really thought having the dash board out would help (along with a lot of other stuff removed from the front end of the car) but the scales say otherwise. I guess I'll just have to get 15 of those giant metal plates found under the spare tire (or the giant rectangular chunk of steel in the convertible) to regain that famous BMW-50/50-weight distribution.
I didn't do anything to the body other than that 2x4-shaped dent in the front fender. I did put the front bumper back on tonight (which PO installed the old bumper on with zip ties? :p). Yeah, one of the PO's installed the flares extremely high, which I thought was kind of funny at first (along with a lot of other work done to the car), but it does provide the best clearance for when I'm running wider tires. I probably wouldn't have installed them that way, but I don't know what tires/wheels were originally being run on the car when the flares were installed. E30's suck at fitting wide tires...with the fender flares installed any lower it looks like it would be difficult to fit a ~275 tire without rubbing. The 225 tires on there now don't have a whole lot of space on the outside even with an ET27 wheel, and they rub on the insides at full lock.
