I need to pull it out of the shop for a couple days because I've got a media pass to creation fest this week. I'm filming a band up in Longview, WA, so in case it decides to rain we painted a quick coat of primer over the fiberglass/bondo that was also quickly applied. Both sides are done being fabricated, we still have more work to do on the fender wraps for sure but it's not bad.

I took a Euro Plate that my dad kept from when we lived in Germany on Ramstein. The army base - so it's an Amerikan Deutschland plate...pretty freakin awesome that I can rock that on my car.

Lovin the way it looks so far! Now I need to bring the rear end down. The front bumper definately made the car look a lot lower since the stock bumper sat so high.

This is so crazy, well done!

[Stupid Kid]

haha im starting to love this, but its still fucking dumb.

Slam the hell out of it on those goofy stock wheels!

For people who don't know any better, I think they would be easily fooled into thinking it was an old BMW. Nice work!

[jcamilliere]

its lookin good! i have no problem with what youre doing but i think this pic is totally appropriate for this thread hahahaha

[speakerboy]

Have fun doing what your doing. And your videos = amazing!

[Zwingfilms]

Thanks guys! Haha, I think it would only be appropriate to slam the hell out of this thing.
I can't just cut the springs though, I would need some coil overs. Doubt there are any made
For this car though. I'm just thinking if I cut my front springs anymore then it would kill my struts.

I'd look into Nico's build (on NASIOC or USMB) for suspension options if you haven't already, he's taken the ea82 chassis pretty damn far.

is this shit 4x100?

Thanks man! I'll do that for sure...you know this is what a thread is for,
Getting the opportunity to take advice from people and use it to further
Your knowledge on your build no matter how stupid this project is.
R3v was the most vile place I've ever encountered. I think what's worse
Is their character and how they all seem to be followers instead of leaders.

I know it's just, "the Internet" and it's what you expect but if that's the standard the
E30 community is setting for themselves on that forum, well, that's how bad stereotypes
Are created. If you really are that butt hurt over some punk who just has some free time
To do something stupid that you're now on an 11 page **** thread!? Thats pretty Lame....

[Zwingfilms]

is this shit 4x100?

4x140

4x140

Just knock out two opposite studs out of a subie brake drum and you can redrill it for 6 lug toyota using the 2 remaining studs as alignment pins. USMB guys do it all the time.
