Mate your going to lose a fighting battle with 17" on your car especially on this forum with all the boring "got to be OEM+ theme" and defiantly no bigger than 16" sheep.
Me personally it's your car your money you do with it what you want, but a set of springs to lower it would be a good start...
I have cup racer bilsteins all round inc the solid top mounts and strut brace also a pointless whiteline ARB. Why?
Due to having cup packed hubs not alot of choice when i was looking sadly, but the cost to get these and modify to fit my hubs i could have bought AST's sportline 2's brand new...
Should be a great project for the summer and as you said some of the work has been done so less work for you :).
Abit cheeky but if your thinking or intrested in selling the strut brace let me know mate ;). (I love collecting parts for my M3)
Thats looks a nice clean car that! However check the roof by the sunroof area and also corners of the front scuttle pan (under the window), another bad area is the rear slam panel where the no plate lights are fixed, all these areas are very common to go unfortunatly.
To me that strut brace is...
Holy f**k!! my heart skipped a beat, wasn't expecting that.
To be fair the dick shouldn't have stopped on a f**king motorway especially the "fast lane", and tail gaiting really? Maybe he should come to the uk and see how close some do it lol.
Just seen this and by god it's fast, but that high pitch sound would defo do my head in lol.

Sorry cant post video on my iPhone.
That's one awesome motor, didn't think that the wheel would suit but front/side shot looks the dogs balls.
I know of 2 of these just sat outside doing nothing rusting away :(.
Bloody hell Neil
Them swagers are awesome.
Bit cheeky i know but after you've finished with them are they available for rent or to buy? What sizes are they?
Sounds like the sun roof drip channels are blocked or seals gone if you got serious water dripping in.
Edit but if the underlay is already wet from previous times then you'll never get rid of the damp/condensation enless you strip the whole interior carpet and underlay and dry it.
Even more reason that after a certain age you should re do your hazard awareness test or even driving test.
But to read that their was a 20 yr old at her side it's a surprise that they didn't mention anything.
Will look good what you have planned i can't stand this place sometimes hating people just because they want to be diffrent.
That's the whole point about modifying.
Lol at the pirate style stitches on the splitter, Looks good IMO.
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Cheers guys, will be quite slow on the updates at the moment (moving in to a 110ft X 48ft garage) but watch this space!!
BIG PLANS
Sweet car that!!
Some nice mods even the CF airbox is over £1500 to buy,
That's another classic E30 that will hold it's money well but it's commonly called "the poor mans M3".
To the non BMW enthusiast it looks like a 325i sport so if you could get a few extra k buy a M3 and stand out from...
How are you steering?
Trying to steer like a wild manner throwing it around or using it gently as in racing line and smoothness?
P zero's are a hard compound tyre so takes abit to get heat into them IMO
Just because it's darker it's not illegal the only thing they test (with regards to headlights) is pattern on dipped and has he ain't altered it is should be fine.
I cant see a major problem as he has xenon's so it's alot brighter than the standard poverty spec anyway!!
Infact i've never had to use mainbeam on my car.
When i sprayed my headlights (if you can remember the thread) everyone kept saying i should off used lamin x but someone not sure who said after a week or so it started to peel off due to the double convex shape.
On a positive side it looks good dude.
After seeing your engine bay in another thread i wanted to see the whole build and omg just taken me ages just to flicker through to the updates (would have taken me days to read the hole thing), very impressive dude :hail:.
Did you manage to weight the car after all the extra kg's has been...
How come?
Hope this ain't a problem throughout the phones as i've just ordered the 32g in hero black :), will hopefully see a big difference from the 3gs.
Nice, i wanted Ast's so badly before :).
Would you even need the spring platforms if you was to fit the strengthen kit? extra unwanted weight and all that, if it was me i'd fit the kit anyway (got to do something).
If you do fit post back and say what it's like maybe someone on here can say...
