    Put jack pads in immediately. If you run a winter without them you can kiss your rockers goodbye

      Glad it worked out with the bilsteins. The raceland shocks were pretty bad

        I have a decent condition sedan fender that is black.  You can have it if you want.  I will have to check if it is the side marker style though.  I live on I35 by the IA / MN border.

              My old coilovers live on, lol. They didn't ride very good when I installed them (new), I'm curious how they ride now that they have a lot of miles and with the different rear struts.

              Sorry to see the fender carnage.

                Your old bumper M3 bumper is living on too! Need to do some bodywork then paint it to match my car! Hopefully I can salvage it with my very novice bodywork experience. Needs glue and a heat gun for the damage. We will see how things go I guess.

                  Thanks! And they still ride kinda like ass lol. Not a big deal to me though, the rear raceland struts were pretty garbage and I am trying to ignore the fact that the fronts are probably the same way. I am planning on attending a few drift events this summer, so around that time I will see whether or not I'll need new coils.

                          So, my cats are shitting out on me. It has the definite smell of cats going bad or clogged. OBD1 so no post cat o2 sensors. Any advice on the best way to do a cat delete? I want the car louder anyways, and now I have a reason to do it. I have little welding experience, and no welder.

                            Try a different brand of fuel. It may help with the rotten egg smell. You are getting the smell more because its cold and more unburned fuel is hitting the cats as you try to get up to operating temp, or when you get on the throttle hard and have that extra enrichment that doesnt burn completely

                            If you choose to remove the cats
                            -dont hollow them out, exhaust gas velocity will drop off a cliff and the dust formed from breaking up the catalyst substrate cannot be good for your health
                            -find someone who can weld
                            -install resonators because it will be rasp city.

                            Just please think through it before attacking the car with a sawzall, I know the temptation

                              Just food for thought, cats don't just go bad unless something is wrong.  It can clog them from a terrible quality gas but I have only seen that once and it was a Buick that was driven to Mexico, like actually to Mexico not street racing.  I have gotten my cats on my obd1 e36 really hot by having a coil not firing and the excess fuel caused a terrible smell and tons of heat.  I fixed the problem and it is back to normal.

                              I recommend not removing cats.  Not because I am some hippie tree hugger but because there is no performance gain and the exhaust always stinks without a cat.  That's why lots of people that don't have cats buy those bottles of smell additive for their fuel so it doesn't reek.  They don't fail for no reason so a bad smell is probably an indicator that you have something wrong.

                                    Hey all! It has been a little bit since I have done anything to my car, but I did get these slap stickers on. I love the look of slaps so I think they look pretty good.Snapchat-1580630215.jpg

                                    Anyways, I discovered my intake boot was torn in 2 different places. I ordered a new intake boot, and I also ordered a new radiator drain plug. About 3/4s of the plastic little blue plug was gone, so I did order a new brass one.
