DevianceInDark Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 So I've been off the forum for a bit but I thought I would hop on and give a quick update on the E30 status. Should finally be getting some miles on starting next week. I apologize that this really isn't a "build" but I hate saying I'm going to do things and then not getting it done. So I'll just show what happened Before During After Noteable updatesPaint, Euro bumper Trim, Side skirts, IS lip, Shaved antenna, H&R springs and Bilstien shocks, updated rear shock mounting with reinforcments, Pop-out window conversion, wheel refresh. More to come, but probably at a slower pace... DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Awesome. What color did you spray the car? DevianceInDark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Looking god!!! Still haven't seen this one around Oshkosh yet - you should bring it out to a Throttle Thursday some night at Mahoneys! DevianceInDark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevianceInDark Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Awesome. What color did you spray the car? It's called Dyno Blue Pearl (Honda factory color). Trying to get some good pics because it really pops in the sun! I did paint it myself (first time attempt in my garage, haha) so it has it's flaws if seen in person. I'm just happy it's one color! I'm going to try and drive it some this next week (weather was perfect for Throttle Thurs this week! Wish I could have made it) . Only have about three miles on as I've been trying to get it somewhat "presentable". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevianceInDark Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Thanks everyone! Here is a fix from the previous owner that I had to reverse. He gets points for originality... it definitely explains the clunking I heard driving it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Looks like the misalignment wrecked the damper as well. Im guessing they did this because the sheetmetal for the mount tore out DevianceInDark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None the less I added reinforcement plates when I did the suspension update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
