finally put proper suspension on my car!

[Toby_Unna]

how fcuking good is 318iS suspension! my car feels totally different now!

quite like the ride height as-is, though maybe the front is a little too high?




thanks to Giles for sorting me with 52mm front struts, much appreciated!

[Karan]

guess it beats 316 stuff....

dude ure car is an inspiration, and the meaning of the phrase-fun car!! - well done dude

[Toby_Unna]

i'm going off those mim wheels though, i don't think they're going to look right when i get the mtech2 kit sprayed up and put on, too small.

i think i want some alpinas!

also i'm already thinking it needs to be lower...

looking forward to finally seeing your 2.7 at lakeside dude

Noooooo! I really like those wheels, there Hartge-eque.

And, why do you wnat an m tech II on? I reckon the car looks really good like that! An m tech would ruin it!

[Ziggy]

Lookin good... but as you said, the mims look terrible. So terrible in fact, that you'll just have to give them to me....!

[johnono]

she looks crisp mate, now a bit of spit and polish and fannys ure mothas bruvas sista

Russ it only looks good cos there's a buggered mr2 in the background! and that's the mr2's better side, the other side there's a wing missing and an engine and box leaning against the rear wheel

know what you mean, but there were so many nice Sports at the north meet last sunday and i've decided that's the look i want.

nice try ziggy! you're right they're so nasty i will have to put them in the wheelie bin, i don't want them ruining anyone else's e30 after all.

[Jimbob]

The definitive sleeper dude!!

****! It'd look so much better on some nice TSW BBS reps...

Are you keeping it the same colour? It'll look pretty unique with the kit on in that colour

[Toby_Unna]

i think i'll have to, my paint spraying abilities are bad enough without having to do the whole car too! like you say it will certainly look unique.

no idea how i'm going to rub all this lot down, it's going to take me about six years!

Dont bother, sell it all to me, its the right colour for mine

[Toby_Unna]

it's actually a bit pink in places!

[Simon13]

i'm liking the sleeper car bit IMHO. Sports are very in your face and every nobba wants to race out the lights, you might want to race every mo fo in it though. As it will certainly attract those kind of people with the kit on!

[Toby_Unna]

i do like the sleeper thing (the 316i badge is most definately staying, it's hillarious when people try it on!)

i just like the actual look of the sport, regardless of the image or what mofos think of it. it just looks right!

and if the mofos decide they want to race then bring it on!

[Andy335Touring]

Nice one mate

I'm sorting my suspension next week.

Dib's on the IS lip spoiler !

I might be able to sort you out some Spax lowering springs if you want ?

[Toby_Unna]

yeah i was going to mail you re the lip, i know you were after one. it's not worth much because it's now cracked and fibreglassed (don't let your mates drive your car ) looks fine when on the car though.

bit of work to do before it can come off though!

[Toby_Unna]

and yep spax springs would be fab, keep me posted!

[Andy335Touring]

and yep spax springs would be fab, keep me posted!

Will do

[Simon13]

As you probably know, loads of waxoyl under the kit! especially under the side skirts and pods. Keep those sills, rear arches and lower front wings solid.

[CaesarBob]

Looking good Toby. That aerial makes the car look even faster. What's it off? I could do with a new one after some weasel snapped mine off!

[Toby_Unna]

i stole it from a 1988 mk2 golf 16v that a friend was breaking up. no idea if it was original or aftermarket though!
