Small update. Took out the boat wheel. Put my omp in. Still turns.

Woah woah woah... Where are the weber carbs?! You said directly after christmas!

I did say that, and I still want them... but I also said in my recent post that I got laid off from work a while back. That kicked my butt. Christmas wasnt so merry for me or the wife.

I mean if you want to buy them for me, Ill gladly put them on!

I lowered the front and rear down just a little more since I was replacing a broken sway bar link... (that whole, while im in here....)

Came out pretty decent. looks alright. Not slammed by any means, but its my daily, so ill take it.

Not a huge update or really one at all, but this happened last night. broke clean off in the trunk cylinder. Was a super dooper pita to get out of the cylinder. But it came out. Which was the good thing. Normally it would be no big deal, but this was my only key. (terrible and lazy of me)

Took it to a locksmith this morning and he cut me a new one no problem for $5 each. Dont let this happen to YOU!

Moar wheel pics please!

Ill try and get some since its not raining. Ill say this, for reps and being a daily driver, they arent that bad. I do, however, need to throw some spacers on just to get the fender flushed a bit more. Thanks.

Well its been a while. Laid off from work a while back, so money had to go elsewhere. Back in the swing of things and looking forward to a good spring and getting some things done on the car.

I finally got a set of wheels that I like. Never thought I would like white on white, but hey, its growing on me. Going to get some spacers to dial in the "stance" I guess. Then maybe work towards some coilovers since I refuse to cut a bunch of coils.



I also redid the parcel shelf in the sterotypical plaid.

ive been busy with all kinds of crap that keeps me away from this thread, but i have a few random updates/pictures.

The Keskins came off. I **** the color scheme. Yet, I dont have the patience to strip them and redo them with the cold weather. Maybe this spring. I still think I would like some Style 4s on the car more than anything. (So if you know of any, pass along the info for me).

I did however refresh the wheels from the 850. They came out pretty nice and Ill rock them for the time being. Also installed some Hellas. Unfortunately, thats about it.



I was having a hard time finding a 535is spoiler locally. And all of the ones for sale are worth their weight in gold apparently. So one day at the yard, something caught my eye. I thought there was no way it would work, but for $20, it would be worth a shot. Its a stock spoiler from an Infinity M30, you know, those hideous convertables from the early 90s. I think they came in a hard top as well. But after some texture to match the bumper and front duck bill, it actually fit decently. Lifts a little in the front, but is stable and doesnt look half bad. Esp for the price!





Near future plans are for a set of wheels that I will be happy with for more than 6 months, and start to work on the drivers cockpit. Id like a new seat and steering wheel. Ill try not to be soo lazy with the thread from now on....

So much room in those fenders! Looks great man

Ha i know... but its most likely only going down another half in. Thanks!
