  1. What to do next?

    M front bumper would look great! Car looks very good otherwise. I like that color a lot. A minor window tint would help tie in with the darkness of the headlights and blacked out grille.

    What are your goals for the car?

  2. Mirror Polishing

    Does anyone in her Excel at it? I have been working on these wheels for weeks only for them to come out sub par every time...I'm sick of it and am crying for help. I dont want to sand any more material off trying new things. If you are amazing at polishing or know someone, let me know. I want as mirror as possible and have accompolished it, but had lines:( help me out family

    Im no expert but once I get past a 2000 wet sand I switch to rubbing compounds and polish

  3. Smoke test in SE WI?

    I have access to one... Im out in waukesha. I'll see what I can do for arrangements, but it wont be until next week earliest

    I am still just down the street from you, I would be interested in making use of it. Just let me know what it would cost and all. If it would be too much of a hassle then no worries. I am in the process of building my own smoke tester.

  5. E30 Suspension Guru's / Welders?

    I picked up a set of German Engineering coilovers, which are much like the Ground Control "kit".

    Does anyone have experience with shortening strut housings? Any good welders here?

    I'm diving into this head first with no flipping clue as to what to do. From what I've read on r3vlimited, I don't HAVE to modify anything. But running shortened housings and shorter (iX) struts/shocks I'd be able to go lower...

    If you want to respect the roll centers of the car then I would suggest not slamming it. If you do, the springs and sway bars will need to be stiffer than they would normally need to be in order to keep body roll in control. I am going to go weigh my car again soon and calculate the roll-centers and try to determine exactly what is too low (at least for my car). At least with coilovers you have the option to slam it for looks then bring it to a more proper height for performance sake

    Hey man! Glad you made it over here from R3V. I helped my friend do a late model bumper swap not too long ago. Is that an olds 442 in the garage? What part of WI are you in? There are lots of E30 parts for sale on the classifieds right now btw ;)

  11. Do you smoke?

    Oh Brian, I think you need to spend some time out here in the booneys with me :)

    Birds were chirping when we started these shenanigans. By the end they all died and we had turned the grass brown and the neighbors were not happy. Not one bit I tell ya

    I AM out in the booneys! I figured we would have crossed paths sooner, especially with all the angry noisy U-turns I make on 164 for no reason.

    loving the way the e28 spoiler looks from the side profile.

    I am also loving the fact that you have seemingly reached that unreachable point for a car guy. The point at which you are satisfied with what you have. (see also: Ryan's sig) I have a ways to go yet :eek:

    Cant wait to see it in June

    also, what kind of camera do you have? My Kodak funsaver isn't putting out like that.

    Welcome my fellow e30 owner!

    The vert looks to be in very nice shape! You don't see too many cars with the oxblood interior.

    Is it a cali car? looks to nice to have lived in the midwest its whole life.

    I am guessing its an automatic, if so I just finished a manual swap over the winter and have a bunch of leftover parts in case you need anything locally. I really need to put together a proper for sale thread but haven't done so yet.

    I have a torque convertor, radiator, < 6 month old trans mounts, ABS pump, ABS computer, washer fluid reservoir, coolant reservoir, coolant level sensor, auto trans guts, non-ellipsoid engine bay plastic cover pieces, factory airbox setup, 6 button OBC with working backlight, good idle control valve, intake boot, brake master cylinder, brake booster and some other random items.

    Im always open to trading parts if you have any spares to trade.

    Hope to see you around sometime
