Steelblue E36 Build Thread
-
Never seen that color on e36s before, looks good.
VERY DIRTY :///////

Starting to think about what color I am going to be painting/powder coating my style 32s.
Right now this is what I am thinking
White
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Black
Here is a pic of a steelblue E36 with white wheels. I'd like everyone's opinion.
In addition I plan on installing lowering springs this summer.

I personally am not a fan of the white wheels but you would probably want to replace all your brake pads with a compound that doesn't dust severely
I'd be very interested to see how a darker metallic blue would look for the wheels, giving the car a two-tone color scheme.
perhaps a color like this

No, dont get an upgraded gIUbo (named for its creator Giunti Boschi, not gUibo like guidos).
Gumbo
As for wheel color, If it were my car I would do an oem style silver. Partly because I'm boring, but also because its a great/clean look when paired with a reasonable ride height and some meaty tires:
A really metallic graphite color could look pretty good too, for a more aggressive style than plain silver

So like a gunmetal grey? I like that.

I vote OEM silver as well, I've always felt that style 32's in particular look kinda ricey in gold/bronze/white. The silver looks so clean and gives the car an OEM+ kinda feel. Not too tame, but not crazy either.
Gunmetal wouldn't be bad, I really like this two-tone look:

Can we put in a system where if you hit "submit reply" on a post and it finds "Uro" in your post this banner pops up?

Can I get some context on uro? Never ordered a product before.

I vote silver on the wheels.
Silver and gunmetal are the finalists.

That's the bumper off my parts car, correct?
Indeed. Spider sold his e36 and had no use for it so I bought him out of it. I plan on fixing the crack and striping the paint by the end of the week. Hopfully to bring it to a paintshop by monday.

Do not buy uro parts ever
They will let you downIf you do get white wheels, just wax them or coat them- brake dust ain’t no thang after that

Fuck this coolant expansion tank. Can't get the damn hose seated correct. Got my car to temp only to find out it's leaking from the hose at the bottom of the tank. This is a pain in the ass.
If anyone wants to send me cash/lowering springs for my birthday I'll send you guys my PayPal/address [emoji14]

Hey i'm curious, does the Mishimoto tank have the bleed line in the top internally connected to a tube going to the bottom or does it just dump into the top of the tank?
I assume you are talking about the small hose that is on the outside. Yes there is another hose on the inside that goes to the bottom of the tank.

Yea, the one from the top of the radiator, thanks!

A hose was 2 big and a hose was 2 small. So i drove to school pissing coolant. I next-day shipped an ECS hose kit yesterday. Will get it around noon today and install in on Saturday. Hopefuly powder coating and painting bumper next week. I fixed the crack and slight warp on the bottom of the bumper lastnight. Starting to wonder why the original owner of the bumper used some sort of filler to fill all the scratches on the bottom. So now I need to sand the filler off and hand it over to the professionals.
