brilliantrot 318iS w/ BBS RS'
Posted: Sun May 12, 2013 4:01 pm
Hi all, I've been a bit of a browser on here for a short while.
I bought my 318iS back in November with the view to use it as a daily. The previous owner had the intention of using it for track, but decided against it after purchasing a 987 Boxster S to use in the same vein (alright for some!!). It's in pretty good condition having just had a respray excluding the roof and bonnet (previous owners decision, which I'll probably get done over next winter), the engine sounded good, it came with bilstein b6's and eibach springs which are brand new, some black diamond discs and red stuff pads which I've just gotten around to fitting, 15" BBS' with brand new Yoko AD08's, it's got a TOAD alarm and a half decent stainless exhaust. To make the purchase a little sweeter, it had a year’s MOT and some spare wheels and tyres.
So, as I said, I was going to use it as a daily, but I got a new job which required me to travel a LOT further as a commute. So, the poor girl has been in storage since I bought her. I've decided enough is enough and plan to get her taxed and insured next weekend to just use as and when
.
Since being in storage I have fitted the new brakes which feel pretty good, carried out a service, fitted some new spark plug/ rocker cover gaskets as one of the plugs filled up with oil, I also fitted new tail light gaskets and an electronic telescopic aerial thingy.
In the upcoming month or so, it'll get some BBS RS' (071 15x8 and 072 15x9) as well as some coilovers; oh yes guys, you guessed it, stance is afoot. Don't worry, it won't be ridiculous, just enough to make it stand out. The arches will be rolled and the little bit of rust on the rear valance will be sorted at the same time.
So onto the all important pictures, most of these were taken from the original advert, I'll get better ones as the car progresses.
The day I collected it
In storage
And my BBS'
Let me know what you think!
Thanks
