Something different

[DjGreggieP]

I found a guy on kijiji selling a bunch of r32 parts, wants $150 for the set of springs and struts/shocks. Also came across an rb20 with trans and everything but a computer that could be a different swap in.

Once spring hits and I am daily driving my car again, I will be looking to start my next project and have some fun making some custom fabricated parts as I go

Skyline parts on an e28 hahaha.

Hope someone can answer that for you

[DjGreggieP]

E28 question. Would a set of r32 skyline factory coilovers work??

[DjGreggieP]

Just ordered some under hood bling lol

Damn I was not expecting that at all! Looking forward to the new wheels, go with those 5 spoke rotiforms, I think those would look better then the sjc. But that's just my opinion, +1 for originality though!

Soon, my car is filthy as fack right now. With the money I spent on H&R's I have been debating on getting a second intrepid or something similar to slam on cut springs and 16's

Loving it! better pics!

[DjGreggieP]

Some hard to tell low pics

before:


now:


Shitty quality I know, and still lots of space to come down yet too

[DjGreggieP]

Been looking at a few different options to switch up my rims,

either something like this:


or something like this:


I am thinking the gold multi-spoke design. Stick with an 18 x 8, maybe step up to an 8.5 to have a nice lip

[DjGreggieP]

I would have pics, BUT photobucket is being ghey, and I can't upload anything at the moment

[Huffy]

I probably wont be very stance'd but I am building my car to be driven and I plan on making the drive to Tennessee next fall for my 28th to hit up the tail of the dragon!

I only live 2 hours away and still havent been I plan to take my 65 mustang up there in the spring for some photos and driving.

A big reason why I still have my intrepid is:
A) Was my first legit road worthy car, and everyone I talk to regrets down the road selling it.
B) I am currently at 272,000kms on her. I have just finished putting in a 3.5 which is the cars 3rd engine.

And in reality the money I have invested I will never see back (Let's just say I probably could have bought a clean m3 with what I have invested) but the car is more than that, she developed a name, and a following locally. Sure its just an intrepid to most everyone else, but she is more than that to me. She is 'Steph, that friend that has always been there thru the good and the bad and never let me down. Sure she has had her fair share of mishaps and issues, but every time she comes back, better than before.

She is 'just an intrepid' to me as much as Rusty is 'just an e28 535i BMW' to Mr. Burroughs, some cars just become a part of you and no one can see what it is you see


All I am trying to say is if you want to do it, do it and forget what everyone else is saying about your car. Everyone made fun of me and my intrepid, locally and on here when I first joined, I laughed with them, I have heard the jokes and everything else, I'm cool with not having a car deemed 'stance worthy' because this car is being built for me, by me.

And if Mike happens across this thread I mean no disrespect to you and Rusty

Thats how Im starting to see it too Ill probably do a little here and there with it because I have to keep it a DD

[DjGreggieP]

So I got her lowered. Wont say dropped, but she is sitting 1.25 inches lower than she was. Will get some pics tonight. drove my truck to work today

[DjGreggieP]

Thats going to look really sharp, and since those wheels are really common on euro cars people might mistake it for a euro

That's kinda the hope, but I still have a few performance modifications to do to make her faster
