    Seriously? What's the issue with that?

    Glad I got my setup second hand.

    Are you just welding the brackets closer to the center? Does that just move the trailing arms more inward and thus more camber or what?
    the edges of the brackets i welded in hold camber/toe bolts in place, so as you turn them the bolt slides in the slot moving the trailing arm either up and down (camber) or front and back (toe)


    good update: since the other motor was just too far gone, and the money i would be putting into it would be way too much for the power it would end up with. so im selling it cheap

    then i spent a good part of today with this familiar sight in my rearview


    got it home and on the stand




    and this is the valance, got it fo free!


    a little bent up but nothing that cant be fixed


    I also picked up an e36 master cylinder to run with a massive booster delete, i have a friend running that setup and he said he really likes it.

    thats it. enjoy

    good luck with the build, btw would the camaro shocks work on a 5 lug conversion e30?
    they should still work, im pretty sure the trailing arms (318ti?) have the same lower shock mounts

    I sold both of my valances, so I'll have to find new ones, but my plan is to use a late model metal front valance and some aftermarket rear cut down to fit the euro bumper

    I wish, there's just no way I'll be able to afford mtech1, not this winter at least. But at some point that's what I would want
