Slow White, the E28

[Wyatt Lay]

Side skirts? Nice! How much if you don't mind me asking? It would be nice for me to cover up the side of my car from where it's been put on jack stands and whatnot. Car is looking cherry by the way, that rear tuck... Bummer bout the fender doe

[jrcanes55]

This just happened. I **** cars sometimes.

[jrcanes55]

Got me some side skirts!

Also my pile of shit that I need to put on my car is getting huge.

Also also I tried to put on my splitter today and the drill I have is to long to fit under the car when it's jacked all the way up so that's postponed.

its prob my computer but some of the photos look out of blurry to me. but besides that love the car i cant wait to see more and whos 2002 is there a link to that build thread??

Well thanks they are a little blurry. But barely. And that 1602 has a build on here. It's called 69 BMW Euro Trash you can find it in my recent posts. But I must warn you it's not very well done.

Then I finally got that e36 splitter I had finally worked up. It still needs to be sanded and painted. It's going to stay black. But it should be on tomorrow. I think it's going to look sick. It's basically like an old school version of the splitters they put on the new E9x m3s

I cut the backs off.



Got some nice Walmart hardware.







It's gonna give that Pfeba lip an even more aggressive look.

I think I can do that haha

awesome looking car man. Loving the white, your car pulls it off really well.

Thanks!

And Kevin, no clue. But the jack is Thomas's so He could come get it since he's just in Burlington. You should come up for the next big show. There's streetwise drift in February.

'MURICA FUCK YEAH COILOVERS


When are you coming back? I just realized we left your jack in my trunk.

Here's another update. My friend Kevin, (KevinC) on here took some sweet photos of my car. Like legit as hell. But before the good stuff you have to read my BS. Jk you can just skip forward.

Instagram FTW



My beloved fixie. My grandpa bought it new in 1991 and now I've had it for almost 3 years. Still love it.



COILOVER PERCHES FUCK YEAH MURICA!
I'm going to do a whole DIY build for all of you guys with E28s who want budget coils. You can make your own for around $350 even less if you can weld. Mine will end up being around 1200 with new struts and camber plates. So I still can't complain.





If you read the box you'll see I got the Koni kit. I'm going to be running IX Konis up front because they're 2 inches shorter.

Got my car care drawer at school organized.



Then had to do my brake pads at like 10 at night. So cold. But I bedded them and good god the car brakes so much better now. And my 45-55 MPH wobble is gone.



Then took the car uptown with the GF for a nice dinner. The homeless guys loved it



Now on to the good stuff. Thanks Kevin the pics are amazing!















The car is starting to come together. I'm slowly diagnosing this running issue. It was about 55 degrees here today and the car was loving it. It got to stretch it's lonnnnngggg legs on the highway this morning and was idling perfectly when I got home. Tomorrow it's getting it's new fuel filter. Hopefully i'll be getting my injectors this week and my spark plug wires next. Once I get my next paycheck i'll order the rest of the coil over stuff. It's going to be a good write up so stay tuned. I'll probably go ahead and post it somewhere so you guys can see what i'm doing.

Anyways ta daaa

On another note. For those who keep up with this build who have E28s and want coilovers, see my new guide/diy in progress.

That X5 should have its front suspension broken too haha

It looked so good.....

Also I just found this. God I miss this thing.

Sounds like a solid plan

Me + You = Photo shoot tomorrow. Sorry I never texted back. Work got busy. I'm not sure where to go. I'd love to get a sick shot on Franklin somewhere.

the cables under the frontseat , i think the are for the heated seats
it's bmw so everything is wired up from start often

WTF. I have no heated seat controls. Fuck that shit. I need to find some heated seats. I need new ones anyway.

They look like the seat heater wires. Mounting the amp to the sub box will not be too good for the amp, the vibrations can damage it over time and really shorten its life. The car sits real nice man.

I will move it somewhere else promptly. Especially with all the vibrations in my car with like 40% of it's original suspension travel.

Not much of an update. I got my car up again and mostly fixed the front toe issue. It's really close to normal. It's amazing how little of an adjustment can make a car drive like ass.

While it was in the air I discovered both my motor mounts are cracking.

I also cleaned up the whole bottom of the car with brake parts cleaner. It looks pretty good. I didn't see any leaks. Just build up.



Then I ordered parts.

Coilover perches from A-1 raching
24lb injectors
Racing plug wires
New plugs
A new fender roller a.k.a a Louisville Slugger.

Next week I'm ordering springs. I'm gonna do 600# front and 550# rear.

As far as struts. It's going to be E30 IX Koni struts up front and for rear IDK yet. Probably fond some Konis that will work and that are slightly shorter.

Anyways, on a random note. I found this at work in the crap lot. The rear suspension is broken IDK how but it looks so good.
