Shorty's E36 coupe

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I finally took some quick pics of my car, now that it is manual and I have fixed the fabric on my door panels.

I have retrimmed the door panels with black fabric. My dad converted it to manual so its so much more fun to drive. and the other major problem I had with it was the fact that the cat converter in it had no baffel inside it, so it sounded horrible, so dad made up a new exhaust system for me, it now has no cat and a coby middle muffler and a cooper at the rear with a twin tip, sounds soooooo much better. Since I put the twin tip on i needed to change the rear valance of the m3 bumper to a 6cyl one so the hole was bigger. When I first got it I put the 18's on it, and I had a 15" sub in the boot, which has now been replaced by two 12"s, I have an alpine headdeck, JVC components at the rear and pioneer components at the front. I originally tinted the windows myself but they didn't pass the warrent so I got the two front windows and the rear screen done and just left the two rears as they were. All that I want to do now is get hold of an M3 Evo 2 piece spoiler.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

comments are welcomed... can anyone think of anything else that needs to be done??

Very nice.

Only thing I don't like is the corner indicators.

I like it, same as above, not really feeling the indicators. Otherwise it looks really nice! I guess you could complete the look with some Euro plates, GT splitters, LTW wing.

Btw, what % of tint is allowed on the rear windows?

I would love Euro plates, i wanted a personalised one that said shorty but thats obviously long gone as are most variations, also being a student i cant justify spending that kind of money on a plate but oneday when im not studying its definitly on the cards. I will look in to the splitters and wing. I was also thinking of the rear spoiler that goes at the top of the rear screen, but thats the least of my worries.

About the tint % i have 20% on my rear windows, when the car is checked on the inside with a light meter it should be 35% so I should not have the 20%'s on my rear windows but I'm to sore pocket wise to replace them, if it fails the next warrent I will rectify it but at the moment it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I know most people don't like the indicators, at first i wasn't sure whether to put them on but since I couldn't get hold of a standard clear one at the time of getting my black coupe on the road, I just stole the ones off one of dads cars but he wanted them back to help sell the car. I think they are better then the chrome backed ones, especially when they were on my 325

I managed to score some super low bilstein springs off trade me. its got standar shocks though = bottoms out too much they are too soft, but it looks nice. I wanted the mags since i had my E30

The background is on symmonds street. If you take the symmonds street off ramp when you go to town, you will come to a set of lights at the top of it,go straight (over symmonds st) then its the first driveway on the left, its in like a car park, very horrible pot holes in the entrance but if your careful then its all good. I used it as a backdrop to take photos of one of my mates cars and they turned out awesome so I used it for mine :)

true I will look into that would love a personalised one though but they are just crazy expensive, considering you can replace a standard one for like $20 (im probably wrong) its probably cheaper then that. But I suppose I could just get mine done on a EURO plate

I been thinking about the GT splitters, they would be awesome, but I think my baby might be too low for them, i would be dramatised if i happened to rip them off on the kerb in a car park, but they would look awesome....I'm going to put more thought into it i think

That is correct :) hence the pink in my signature, all my mates know that that pink is my signature colour - its the same colour as the pink badge on a SUBARU WRX STI :)
