Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 Right,pics have been a long time coming but finally got round to taking them. Car's a '95 318i manual (so much different to a 323i E30) in Hellrot. NZ new,FSH yadee yadee yadah. This is what it was like to begin with And this is what it is like now Mods so far are 17x8 BBS RC (cheers Yuen) Dobi sport Super lows in the front which have been compressed an inch,Whiteline custom rear springs. Munroe Reflex shocks all round.Shortened to suit springs. New rear shock mounts,new made bumpstops. 65mm drop in front 85mm in the back. Sounds have been redone,but still need new components and head unit.But the cheap stuff in there that I had lying around seem to be doing the trick till I get some more $$.Amp and sub are pretty decent. Mods to come: M3 front bumper which I will butcher,just to be different Tints of some description,probably just black. Clear corner indicators,Ollie smoked everything else Colour code EVERYTHING Europlates Eyelids Possibly lower the front a tad more to eliminate gangster lean Oh and a BS sticker ha Am having fun with it,not in velocity,just in general haha Any feedback -ve,+ve post em up Cheers Ashkan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 26 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 nice daily. how much was the car to begin with? how does it feel with those springs in the back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 $3800 after days of nagging. Rides pretty sweet,a bit bouncy with a full car,but pretty firm for how much it's been dropped/how near it is to bumpstops.Can't complain really,get what you pay for...but doing it all proper this time around.

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) My mate works at acryform,working with perspex. Just cut them out to size,sprayed them black and JC Glenfield hooked up 4 stickers that I just cut out and stuck on. Then glued em in. Done.

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 It's not on its arse at all,well I dont think so anyway. Different strokes for different folks. Not trying to rice it up in any way at all,hence spending alot of money(to me anyway) on suspension.It'll get there eventually.But for now it'll do.

"When you drop a BMW on its arse like that it loses its class. Go buy a Honda." "The last thing Auckland needs is another sacked out euro filled with kids." pretty straight forward really. I'm not here to start an argument with you, if you have a problem please pm me. Back on topic ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fai+H777 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 Ok... The "go buy a Honda" bit is offensive and I apologise (that would even offend people who own Hondas ). I'm not trying to argue either, just stating my point of view. Its constructive criticism, as not everyone has the same tastes and by stating mine it may have a constructive effect on his decision, though it would appear it has not.

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 I'm not being a pansy,and I really don't give 2 sh*ts what you think anyway. I don't mind the hating,heck as mentioned above you were ricing your ridiculusly awesome wagon with CF stuff.But I (and many others) didn't tell you to go stick them on your vtech. I'm not offended in any way at all,kinda found it funny how everyone was so nice to you RE: your car being nicked and you come out and be a twat. Meh.

B*Emz 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 Enjoying the 'modern' features in comparison to the e30? Hah sometimes it's nice to have AC and round edges huh! Sounds like you've got some good plans- Should come out the other end looking schmexy. Get some black/silicone based stuff onto the plastic bumper trims, makes a big difference in my op. Haha deflect that sh*t yo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
