    Also what's the story with the dozens of Mazdas?!
    Thanks! And yeah, tach was put on there by the PO. And wasn't hard at all, just when you're taking it off/ putting it back on be careful not to drop the bolts down into the trunk. Also, make sure you sand it down REALLY well before painting and priming, especially if its badly cracked.

    And its an old parking garage that a local Mazda dealership uses as storage haha.

    Just another e30 build overview...

    Here we go...

    What was currently installed on the car when I bought it almost a year ago:

    Engine:
    -Dinan 93 octane chip
    -Full magnaflow exhaust w/ highflow cat
    -Ram Air Intake

    Chassis:
    -Masson Strut bar
    -Front and rear anti-roll bars
    -Bilstein shocks
    -H&R sport springs(189lbs/ in. all around)
    Interior:
    -AutoMeter tach
    -Corbeau SG1 seats(mismatched for the ultimate style)
    -Schroth harness's
    -Ugly plaid shift and hand brake boot

    Exterior/ Wheels & Tires:
    -Borbet Type C's(16x7.5)
    -Toyo Extenza's(205/50R16)
    -Hella fog's
    -Number sticker
    -Huge dent from a tree





    After a couple weeks of doing nothing, finally ripped the interior out and got some new suspension! Ground Control coilover conversion kit, adj. ride height(400lbs/in. front, 700lbs/in. rear).


    Front:

    Rear:


    Next stop! took the bumpstops out of the front shocks, and and took the height adj off the front(lowered the front another 1/2 inch):






    Then finally got my new wheels and tires on after a night of grinding the calipers, rolling the fenders and countless test fits(pics are from today though):









    Horrible, huh?

    Well since then I got my front struts shortened, installed adjustable Koni shocks all around, gutted the rest of the interior, rolled an pulled fenders, painted engine bits purple, repainted new rear bumper after drift crash and lots of other things I can't think of:







    Then I did some more stuff...

    Painted rear spoiler black:



    Made ghetto-ass speaker box, complete with sub and amp:




    Did some trendy shit with my console delete panel:


    New (free)steering wheel:


    Took these:


    To finally make room in the fender wells:



    Still rubs(oh well)...



    Said bumper:


    And took the Hella's off again:


    They'll be more progress soon. So keep posted. Or don't. I'd feel quite special if some people left nice messages here, I'll probably cry If people don't think my car isn't trendy

    Thanks!
