Steelblue E36 Build Thread

That is awful and I am glad that you're doing well. Looks like you will probably have a good bit of money for mods to the miata after this. You know even though it isn't a BMW, you don't have to leave the forum=)

Dang, that's quite an accident. Glad you all pulled through. Unfortunate for everyone.

Keep us in the loop. I had a turbo Miata (loved it), and Kaiser loves Miatas as well.

All primed up ready to go to the painter Tuesday or Wednesday! For anyone wondering I used 2 cans of ProXL Pro Ultra build primer. 13$ a pop but that was what I was told to use. He will spray another layer of primer the base then clear.

Where did you find that primer at

I also made the mistake of buying a set of "mint" Depo headlights. Needless to say the mechanic who took them off broke one and the guy who sent them out didn't check before sending. He refunded me 50$ and I am selling them for 110 today.

Buying zkws or Boschs from Earl's friend sometime this weekend.

I bought it at Auto Value. But I'm sure any auto paint store will have it.

If you are buying that avus blue one in Minneapolis I'm interested in the aftermarket exhaust

Looking good!

Got my last package of Glass European headlights today! I ordered 2 sets. and A ZKW pair came and a Bosch set came. I decided to run the ZKWs because they will be better for HIDs and I gave my dad the Boschs for his 318ti.

Anyone have any recommendations for hid kits?

I always used VVME.com and bought multiple sets to have as spares. I got 4 years out of the first set before they started going bad. There are probably some better sources. DDM Tuning seems to be popular but not necessarily because they are good/the best deal
