Slow White, the E28

[jrcanes55]

Those are euro bumpers. They just don't have the covers on them and they're painted black.

As for those welds, are you sure you had the welder polarity hooked up correctly? It's backwards compared to regular MIG process. You shouldn't be getting that much spatter, even with flux core if it's set up correctly.

I didn't think about that. I'll give it a try next time. Thanks.

Went out tonight and finally got a decent shoot. I went evvvveeeerrrryyywhere.

First I went to a shopping center. Well behind one!








Then to a parking deck









Then to Robinson Hall (UNCC)





Then to an abandoned strip club







Then to the new football field



Pics aren't to great. I don't have a remote for the camera I'm using so extended exposures are a little difficult. Especially when it's freezing cold and i'm shaking profusely.

I like the abandoned strip club spot. That's cool. Looking good man.

Hmm, I knew they looked a bit different but the lip threw me off. I didnt know the pfeba lip came without fog-lights.

[jrcanes55]

What's confusing you is that I don't have a euro valence. So the foglights on a stick like it usually has are removed.

I needed to update this. I'm almost done with the exhaust. I just have a few leaks to patch up and it's golden. Here's a sound clip. For those who don't know, It's basically a straight pipe that uses an E46 330i Resonating chamber. I really like it. It's growing on me every day.

As far as other things to do. I'm getting the car fully detailed tomorrow ($40 because I work at a dealer.) and I'm going to stay late use the lift and test fit some wheels and hopefully knock out my fuel filter some more vacuum line issues and possibly go lower.

Other things on my todo list are
Front upper and lower control arms
Fix cracked motor mount
Finish welding exhaust all the way to the back
Fix hood
Repaint bumpers
Repaint air damn
Get a CB antenna for the roof rack

Thanks I will need a little help with the motor mount if you want to join me. I'll text you.

Now on to my update.

Got my car detailed. Cool.


Looks good right? Wrong.

The guy did such a shitty job. There's wax still all over my car, on my windows, and there was a lump of it in my trunk. He half assed my wheels and completely ruined my NRG lug nuts. And I asked him to polish then wax because it's an old Bimmer and doesn't have clear coat and he didn't at all.



Anyways. Fuck him. On to better places.
I went over to see my friend Chris at BMW. We traded wheels and I picked up an oil filter. Last one in stock. But then I left it on his toolbox

Anyways pics. They're bad so don't get you hopes up.
Pulled in to swap


Specs:
Style 32s 17x8 with 225/45 front and 17x9 with 225/45 rear. They're run flats. Surprisingly they ride rather well. This is not a permanent trade. I'm just seeing how black wheels, style 32s look on my car.


They're really dirty so after I clean them up i'll take some good pics. We swapped the ACS over to the E39 and GOD DAMN that thing looks good. I love it and want it. IT's sooo classy



and to finish this update off I want to add something ingenious I discovered in a customer's car today. I work at Performance Acura in Chapel Hill and this is the center console of a new MDX. It opens into two and this lady stuffed a box of tissues between the split so you can pull tissues out of the armrest.

Mind = Blown


Anyways, enjoy.

[kevinc]

Ingenuity at its finest. Sucks about the wax though.

[los02]

Can't tell it's a crappy job. Looks great in the pictures. I like the ACS's more but I like the Style 32 lips.

Do you have a complete unblocked profile picture of the car on Style 32's? I bought a bronze set from a friend a while back but have yet to pick them up. Since my car isn't lowered yet I haven't been in a rush to get them on the car. Can't find too many lowered white IS's on 32's online to get an idea of what mine will look like.

[rsingh3g]

I love the wheels you have on your car before you traded. I would love to get those for my cousin's e39.

I don't **** Charlotte, just ***** that building. Charlotte is a lot better than Greenville
