Rotiforms????? 17's?

I bet it's taking a beating . I'm glad to hear it was able to withstand 7-8 hard hits though Haha

You guessed it! I will bring my camera today and get some pictures of the test fittage!

I can't wait to see what wheels your got. How much are you planning on raising the engine?

I'm test fitting them today. there still in boxes. and I will give you a hint it starts with R..

and I plan on getting a good 1/2 inch if not more. right now I have about 1 inch of clearance, and its taking a beating.

can't wait to see what the wheels are...


I am going to put my coilovers on later this week, I really need to do a skid plate

[Funtington]

do m30 oilpans sit a lot lower than the subframe? my m20 is (was) about even with the subframe.

Yes they do sit about 1 inch lower. I have been half dollar height now for a couple days now and already have taken like 7-8 hard pan hits... they turn the engine oil light on...

I have plans to raise the motor, and skid plate this weekend.

also bought wheels...

What color is this ?

It's been re-painted, poorly. it's something metallic. I will check tomorrow.

I am repainting it soon, already started the prep work...

I ended up lowering the car more! much better height. then drove to work and took a shot in my parking spot I am stoked on.






Much better ride height.

loving the progress man. shaved front end looks good, just wish they had metal lips like the e21's

[E28stoff]

tcturbo - that bumper work intrigues me, i may look into doing something similar in the future. awesome work

[Funtington]

Thanks man! its still a work in progress. I took it a little further than the white car on here with the stepped lip style 5's. I ended up filling the holes on the rear valence to make it a bit cleaner. the front was pretty straight forward. The sides i'm having a bit of trouble making them look clean. I got moulding off an E23 which ended up being different so i'm using it for now but does not look great, need to get some extra e28 moulding. otherwise just trying to figure out ways to clean up the sides. I like what you did with your front bumper though.

heres the rear, I think that would look good with your modded front




It wasn't bad. You have to take the stock headlight adjusters out of the e28. you have to shave the stock mounts off of the E34 housings. I then expoxied the housings in. As far as wiring, a buddy of mine did it. I am runnng HID's, which are an awesome upgrade over the stock e28 lighting, obviously.

Oh yea man that looks nice!!
the bumper and the lights!
I think I will go the route you did with my rear bumper.

spoiler alert

Car is going bags

[tcturbo91]

welp, I was going to do "eurobumpers" but I just decided shaved would be better, I didn't like how the mine were turning out. yours look to be coming along nicely though in fact from what I see your automobile looks great!

E34 headlights? They look good. How hard was the conversion?

i need to do some coilovers bad. but as far as the front bumper, I like it. I do think it kinda needs some type of moulding though? I'm currently working on a project similar to it but used the stock mouldings
