It wont handle well like that, and will have very little suspension travel to deal with bumps etc.. Seems a bit backwards considering it is a track car. Loving the colour though!

wicked car dude.... the holes in the rear bumper just behind the wheels are for " crusing lights aren't they ?

thought about getting the lights from the states to have crusing lights like the u.s models? think these would add to the look...

want mine nato green but with out the shine...but now i've seen yours.... i want mine shiney! lol

cheers,

punk_sy- i went to the scrappies and snipped the wiring bulb holder for the side repeater on a ford escort, then spliced into the side light wireing at the front of the e30, drilled a hole in the back of the e30 indercator unit and fitted a orange bulb in the escort bulb holder from the side lamp, hey presto

would u not be better to wire a relay in the indicator so instead of flashing on/off...its on and flashes off? this way u'd still get a flash?

http://cgi.ebay.com/BMW-E34-E32-E30-new ... 7C294%3A50

i'm tempted.... but looking on oem site they are 27$ for each front and 31 for the rears.... think they'd look ace on yours.

Mines going ok thanks mate.
Just done my first track day at Oulton Park yesterday and have an 'action pic' up in the 'Trackday/Motorsport' section!

Looks fast, but not quite as quick as the E46 M3 CSL above it! ;0)
Keep up the good work!
