NickL's E30

subbed! e30 love!

Nice Nick, I'm glad to see this coming along! Sucks about the front fitment but you'll get it dialed!

Thanks appreciate all the help from you guys. Everything worked out great with the management and front struts!

Yeah it won't be a big deal to pull them a bit. Hopefully Ill have pics up tomorrow of the finished car.

[NickL]

Welp, she's done, kinda. Basically, pulled the fronts a little, 6mm spacer to clear the struts. Everything was good, drove around the block all was well. Went to drive to help my buddy install his bag setup on his MKV, drove 5 minutes away, lost all pressure in my passenger rear bag. Axle rubbed through it. I guess I mounted it too close. So this weekend ill replace it and mount it a little bit further up, and while it sucks, I can't say I'm not happy. These shitty pics I'm about to toss up do the car no justice at all.

Car is laying on the front tires. Need a 40 series to lay out, but you live and learn.















Front strut setup. Cut original strut tube down, weld sleeve over it, weld shock to sleeve where damper knob cut out is, cut top hat into a triangle and drilled for studs for the upper mount. Also put a bolt and nut all the way through at the bottom because welding cast is sketchy enough and I don't want to put this car into a wall.





Thanks to BagRiders, White325is for the guide on R3V for insight, AirLift, and all my friends and my Dad who helped. Ill continue to update this, but this is how she sits for now.

Holy crap, Nick. That looks so much better than I could even imagine. You should bring this down to Texas for Wekfest haha

It's absolutely perfect.

Damn, that looks great! I cant wait til I can get my air setup, definitely will be going to bag riders and getting a universal kit. You made it looks so easy. You coming down to GA for SOWO this weekend? Theres gonna be at least one e30 there with air on it.

Was wanting to, but with having to wait for a new rear bag, I don't think ill be able to make it.

And its not too bad, mounting the rears is tricky but you'll get it.

I will when I have a phone again lol. I jumped in a hot tub and forgot that I had my phone in my pocket

Hopefully I'll have another one within the next couple of days.

Well that kinda sucks. I was trying to get my 24v swap done on my e30 in a week to take it up there but that plan failed.

Edit: Also, what is the universal bag kit you got for the front? I was planning on using air house 2s on the rears but I have seen a few setups for the fronts.
