E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted March 14, 2011 Looking sharp... E34 def. need a bit of rake, get that front down a bit!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 14, 2011 Looks good Brent! Love the colour Calypsot ftw! Looking sharp... E34 def. need a bit of rake, get that front down a bit!! Agreed! I have vogtlands in mine so i was told when i brought the car, and they give a great balance of low and daily driveability. Can post photos if you want but mine is M50 so yours might be a bit lower still Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j.ingledew 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 The wheels really suit the car and I am loving the colour, once it's lowered it will really look the part, that's all it needs IMO. Just don't go crazy on camber and all that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huff3r 347 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 Definitely needs low. But apart from that looks very nice, and I bet its a total hoot to drive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1cut808 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 Yep... More LOW required... I like the concept though... What would one of those engines retail for? Good bang for your buck? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 Yep... More LOW required... I like the concept though... What would one of those engines retail for? Good bang for your buck?yea good bang for ya buckapprox $2k for an engine like this. i doubt you couldn't build an 4 or 6cyl engine with this much power or torque for that sort of money.
