My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

[Ryan...]

Those aren't style 5s...........

[Earl]

Its all going on at once Ryan=) Makes it more dramatic. Plus they're being a pain for me to make as perfect as I'd like=P lol

[Ryan...]

I like to save everything for once as well, makes you feel like the car is completely new, rather than building piece by piece

[Earl]

Exactly;) hopefully you won't have to wait much longer

[Earl]

Is this what I need to get the ass down? http://www.nexternal.com/ireland/e30-rear-coil-over-kit-p732.aspx

[GunMetalGrey]

yes and no, those will require a lot of reinforcement to the rear strut mounts, but it does run the strut inside of the spring which is nice and will give you more low

[Earl]

Hmm...I may have to do this eventually. Might actually go air in the back. Right now I just have the Rokkor springs and removed the adjuster all together with the bilstein HD's and the top of my arch is still 23" from pavement.

[GunMetalGrey]

Use sports instead of HD's yo

[Earl]

That won't get me lower though will it? =P They aren't fully compressed when it on its feet.

[wasnt m3]

It's plenty low...not to mention, you don't have your wheels on yet.

[Earl]

^That'll be the deciding factor;) I measured my tires and from tread to tread it is 23". That's my arch to ground height. With the wheels at about 3-4 degrees of Camber, I should be tucking fairly decent tire right?

[Earl]

This is not me whatsoever. I've never spilled or brought debris into my car....there were crayons melted under my shifted console. I stripped the rear down to metal for cleaning. I'll take an after tomorriw.

you'll have to use shorter rear springs if youve removed the adjuster and its not low enough. take out the existing ones, measure them, then get 0.5" or 1" shorter. going to be like $90 or so for a pair.

[Earl]

It's about $90 or so a piece;) lol but I'm going ti probably end up with a set of 4" hyperco springs and I need to get the ground control "tall" rsms

[Earl]

Spent all afternoon yesterday afternoon and then today up until now cleaning inside. It looks okay. Wish it was cleaner but it is a ton cleaner than before.

At the end of Yesterday:

Where I picked back up today. Got a shampooer and got sick of doing the carpet. Here is step by step putting it all back in.

The hatch area carpet and sides are made out of that particle like material with a natty carpet and i cant get all the little snibbled out of it for the life of me. Id have to have a super sucking vaccum to get it all off. Hopefully I can put the rest of my time this next week polishing/sandin the Style 5 lips and reassembling the wheels.

[straight6pwr]

car is looking super clean. cant wait to see those wheels done

[Earl]

Thanks. And I can't wait either. Lol I polished them three times already and noticed little lines making them look dull. Now I have to go back down to 220 to sand down sone machining lines and around the outer edge of the lip. Then go all the way back up to 2000 and then three different kinds of rouges:P shits annoying. Lol

[straight6pwr]

are you going to clear coat them?

[Earl]

Not quite. Somehing better that will last for years. Sharkhide.

[straight6pwr]

never heard of that stuff. looks like a great product.
