Well, I decided to make my initial post describing my car a bit. I've been over on www.r3vlimited.com for a while, but its changed...for the worse.

Well anyways, here is some info and some pictures about my car:

1989 325i US spec, 215k miles.

Suspension
Racing Dynamics/Bilstien Sports, ST Swaybars, M3 Offset CABs, Sparco strut bar

Performance
Schrick 272/272 Cam, Jim C. chip, Ansa exhaust, z3 SSK, m30 afm, 19lb injectors, 10lb flywheel

Other
Borbet Type C's 16x7.5
Full ATE brake system, pads, rotors, SS lines, fluid....
IS Lip with Ryan G. Splitter.
Rear US Plate filler

Car started off as a plane jane automatic, with no mods. Within the first 24 hours I had the car set up as you see it here, except the current suspension(previous HR Setup) I changed the interior to all black sport, and did the 5 speed conversion all through the night/next morning. Well worth it.

The car sees a lot of time AutoX'ing and I'm getting it ready for some light track use. Now for some pics:

Pics as the car progressed:

I would say thats enough for now. I hope I can join this group of amazing e30 guys and learn some more/share some knowledge.

Comments always welcome!

Thanks, the normal 6 spoke rims are my Borbet Type C's.

The hartge looking rims are actually MiM's. My friend let me borrow them for a weekend of canyon running.

Thanks!
