get smaller tires up front and youll be golden!

[projecthoarder]

I'm really diggin it from the front man, smaller tires in the front and lowering the back more is the only thing I'd change, keep up the good work.

And yes they are Diamond Racing wheels.

the biggest enemy of a spring is heat. lots of people go through the trouble of cutting off 1 coil or so and technically it doesn't do anythig bad. but the heat of grinding or a cutting tortch can change the springy-ness of the spring....yes, that is the technical term.

bucket of water trick is really, just submerge the spring in a bucket of water UP TO the line you have decided to cut on. use an oxy/asc cutting torch and clip off the dead weight coils. what this does is keep the entire coil nice and cool, and it doesn't ruin the previous heat-treamtent that psrings go through

Oh wow, thank you for all the info! This really helps, and I'll be sure to make sure to do this method if I end up actually cutting the coil.

Updates!

Alright, Well here's a recent shot of my car.(Hipstagram picture)


I haven't done anything much to the car since the last one, but I have been driving it, and sometimes I wish I hadn't lol. Couple nights ago I was going to a diner late at night with some friends. I Took a wrong turn and had to turn back which ended me up on this one piece of road I hardly drive on. Some weird "mountain" in the road just smacked some things under my car and I felt it alright haha. I played it off like it was nothing but was genuinely concerned because once I parked it and checked under it, there was a puddle of liquid. Cracked oil pan? I really thought so, but thankfully last night I got under the car and the oil pan was good, but I did have leakage from a few spots that I have to address to now.

-One's the Oil pan gasket. The original one so it's corroded, and clearly in the picture you can see the dampness.

-Second one, I believe is the power steering hose, the pumps fine but when I follow the hose the top seems to be wet but I'll look more into that.

Here's a shot from last night. (Sorry for the crappy picture, also Its very dirty under there I know haha)


Regardless, My next investment is the oil pan gasket and to fix these other leaks. But more importantly a skid plate. Driving around LI is scary without one.

All I want to do is get that ass lower haha. Just figuring out if I should cut a small amount off the coil, or try and get different coils in the rear?
Also thanks haha, I thinking about changing it up a bit, but keeping the diamonds so I can also switch back.

UPDATES!

Haven't done too much with it, but I was able to pick these up for cheap and I think they look great.



Also I felt like going black the grill, I wasn't really feeling the chrome anymore.
(Please excuse the different wheels haha)

[MartinsElerts]

Those RECARO's look sweet, I have always wanted a set of those for my e30.
Good to see the black nose.
Are You gonna shadow the rest of the trim as well?

Yeah my stock seats were MESSED up haha. So I thought why not just upgrade.
Getting them in wasn't so easy though
I'm actually really thinking about it, the "chrome" is shot, and I feel like blacking it out would make it look better.

I've heard that shadowline tape is the best way to go, I plan on using it for my e30.
