    looks like a fun project! would be kinda cool to do the headliner to match the boot/shifter. Something different for sure!

    I'd be kind of worried about there being "too much going on" if the headliner was the same plaid. I'll probably go with an alcantara knockoff or something :)

    looks like you are going to do some great mods to it! i love the interior choice, i also went from gray to tan vinyl! those wheels are going to look really good too.

    I'm probably gonna get some IGGEE seat covers for it in black, I've never been too fond of the tan interior myself :)

    I just cant wait for the rest of the suspension stuff to show up so I can check out the stance!

                I'm honestly tempted to buy them. Are they as nice as they seem? I'll keep an eye out for some black bits for you

                  I can get some more detailed pics for you on Monday when I'm back in town. There is wear on the drivers side bolster, I'll look them over closely and let you know :)

                    Well, I tried on one of the Koseis to test out the spacers/fitment. Wheel gap looks about the same, but that should be solved once the suspension is figured out. I'm still unsure if I'll keep them or not, I'd like to find a set of 16x8's somewhere.

                    And for a little update of significance: looking for either a good deal on a new GC kit, or preferrably a used kit. I'm liking the idea of Auto-X more and more, and I'll be moving to Madison next year where there are some epic roads around the Tyrol area. I think a quality set of coilovers would serve me well :)

                    The only issue I have right now is that the entire interior will most definitely be put on hold for a long time. The gov has decided it is going to take another $25,000 (on top of the $45,000 it took right off the bat) from my mom's pension she got from my dad passing away, and that means she'll be needing some help until she can find another job and recoup some of the money being stolen.

                      When did you score this beast? Looks clean for an e30 with 200k+ miles.

                      And I was going to ask you, do you still have the LSD in your M3?

                        Bought it about 2 months ago, been sitting since then.

                        Sold the LSD, trans, and driveshaft to a BFC member in Madison a couple weeks ago.

                        Here's an update; all of this should be going on in the next day or two :D

                          Nice, I literally just did control arms, FCAB's, tie rods, and sway bar links on my e36.. Feels 100% better!

                          What kind of springs are you running?

                            Yeah its always a nice feeling changing all that stuff! The springs are Ireland Engineering Stage 3 Race springs.

                              Finally got my suspension installed :D

                              15mm drop hats, IE springs, Bilstien sports. Not nearly as stiff as some people say it is, but its definitely noticeable over worn out stock pieces :)

                              New rims will be coming this week hopefully :thumbup:

                                Awesome! Can't wait to see what the new wheels look like! I need to get springs for my car quite badly... I've really been having a tough time deciding which to get.

                                  Thanks!

                                  I'm super stoked, this is the EXACT drop I was hoping for, perfect for me :)

                                  Going to modify the brackets on the corbeau's tonight to make them sit a little more upright, and hopefully fit a little better..

                                  Also did this today, they'll go on tomorrow :D Not perfect by any means, will look good from 10+ feet away lol
