[Bystrov]

[Alex@BagRiders]

[NickL]

Heres a few shots from today. Was so nice out so decided to pull it out of the garage and go for a drive.







Look for updates soon!

Shot of my roommates del sol too

[JayBraj]

looks great

[NickL]

nice good to hear! good job bro!

Thanks man!

How do you find using the manual management?

How's the ride? Would you ever be able to hit the track once or twice a season? What would limit it?

Its not bad at all. I don't mind it. And I don't see why I couldn't. The whole system is reliable and handles pretty well.

Shot this today on the way out of the garage. Drove it for the first time, missed it.

NIce car. This makes me want to bag my auto... Keep up the good work.

Awesome e30, miss the ones I've had over the years. Stroker m50 good stuff, hell a stroker m20 would be cool. M20's just sound so good when revved up

Glad you got a new head in man, but I'm more excited about that M50

nice good to hear! good job bro!

Good to hear, that is very affordable considering the cost to set up a decent set of coils for these cars. I just picked up a '91 318is as a daily and I'm thinking about bagging it after doing some research and realizing it wouldn't cost me too much more. I think I'm gonna go the bag-over-coil with an Aero Sport bag route for the front though and just shorten the housings and throw some IX Billies on it.

Sorry to hear about the timing belt, I guess it's a good excuse to swap in the M50 though. I had a timing belt fail on me on a 1.8t MKIV a few years back and that sucked.

For sure, they Aero Sports would save you a nice chunk of money as well.

Got the car running again. Scooped a head of R3V, new head gasket, head bolts, timing belt, water pump etc. Will be going into storage this winter while I put together an M50 stroker. Just wanted it to be drivable so I can enjoy it before winter and for a bit next year before I decide to yank the motor.

Head off,


New head


Basically complete minus a few things



Cant wait to tuck the bay with the m50 haha, so much shit in it right now. Runs good though after tinkering with a few things.

It rides amazing. Exactly like H&R Sports/Billies/Konis. Yeah I think I do have a shot of the ride height ill try and find it.

Spent about 1400$ after all the small home depot runs and shit. Very affordable. And thanks man! Really appreciate it. Good luck with the 2002, we've been trying to track one down forever.

such a nice ride!
since i am french, i especially like the front plate!

[Tender Justice]

Looking so good!

Snagged another timing belt, took the valve cover off, head is trashed. Going to pick up another head and get the car running, I miss driving it.

Then comes the M50.
