  • Mimi - intro/build, e30 content

    Hey Stanceworkers!!
    My name is Nate, I'm a 22 year old engineering student from Bellingham, WA. My car is a 1991 318is. I've owned the car for about about 2.5 years now. Since I've had it I have gone through several sets of wheels, three suspension setups, installed leather sport seats, Dinnan chipped ecu, and done lots of other regular maintenance. It's currently on Megan euro street coilovers and stock size meshies. About 2 weeks ago the head gasket blew at 202k I will be swapping in another m42 that has 86k on it. I was considering doing a m50 or m30 swap but as it is being funded by my parents I have to stick to just another m42 :/ I will be receiving some money from my late grandmother, who the car is named after, so that money will go towards some nice wheels and a possible air setup. enough talking on to pics!

    When I first got her



    random 17" and lowering springs



    XXR's



    More XXR's lol



    some drags and new hood



    picked up some staggered salad shooters, still on lowering springs at this point




    Sold the salad shooters to fund my coilovers, and finally the most recent pic



    got the new engine in yesterday as well



    Unfortunately progress will be slow since I'm in my senior year and school is crazy right now, but I should have it back on the road by summer, will update when I have some thing to update!

    Oh, and I have to drive my old high school project car around in the mean time,
    poor me lol :P

    Glad you shook the xxr's ! Those are trash, but the vette wheels aren't much better. I had both of those fazes.... But get rid of the bright wheels and you will have a nice e30. Try flipping that Volvo lip it looks 10x better the other way! Coils is a plus!

      Yeah man time to move to something classier, but whatever I end up with there is a strong chance I will paint the centers a light/baby blue, that's just my thing. As for the lip the plan is to get a stock IS lip and IS side skirts.
