Newbe from Aus with 325is:)

Sun Nov 05, 2006 12:47 am

hey all,

As thread title says im a New member from Sydney Australia. Just thought i might show off my pride n joy for my first post on e30zone.net. shes a 89 325is stock as a rock except for the bbs ch replicas (17x7.5 inch). Ive just recently had it resprayed as the paint was shocking when i bought it. Ive got some big plans for this e30 but i mainly wanna get this thing handling like its on rails, so the plan is to go nuts with the suspension some time in '07.

Heres the lastest pics that i took a few months back on a beautiful Sydney arvo. let us know what you think of 'er!

Cheers

Cheers mate:)

The interior is pritty crappy so no pics just yet, but im hoping to get the sports seats re-trimmed in the tan leather that it came with some time next year aswell.

As for suspension im thinking for going either H&R cups or Eibach Springs, Bilstein Sports shocks, Stiffer sways, Strut braces front and rear, and replace all the bushings...
