i hate doing work in the snow! had to change my alternator off my m50 block.. of course its located on the bottom behind the oil filter.. took me like 8 hours in the blistering cold.Keep warm!

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

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

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?
-
Finally got my suspension installed
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
Not perfect by any means, will look good from 10+ feet away lol

Snapped some shitty pics of my red tails. I like them, but a purist would go crazy seeing them up close

Also, looking to possibly pick up a set of 15x6.5 ACS reps if I can sell my Style 5s and 16" contour reps soon enough!
I have three 15x7 ACS type 1's, legit ones too... number 4 got lost by USPS somewhere between forest park, IL and milwaukee
-
My mind changes almost daily on wheels.. I was gonna buy some ACS reps off a R3V member, but then found out that after shipping they would cost me $570, then I'd need spacers/lugs for another $190, and then tires mounted/balanced would be another $320 minimum. That's way too much bank to drop on something I really dont "need"...
Swedish- If I knew I could find a matching rim anytime soon I'd be all over them! However, i know the moment I brought them home I'd see another set that'd I be crazy about..
