So good, spot on, just needs euro lights at this point.

I was thinking that some time ago. maybe someday soon.

love it man! makes me need a older bmw in my life

It makes me happy.

Thanks dudes <3

Took some photos at my "spot". Happy with how some came out for a phone.










Also got some pics of Alex's cosworth on the new wheels.











Finally got a part Ive wanted for some time now as well. e12 mirror plate. Bought an e24 one thinking it would work and that screwed me. Glad I found this one.

I love everything about that update.

The car looks SO AMAZING on the new rimz

Looks so good man.

What's the story with the Chevy Vega in-tank pump? I've never heard of that upgrade.

Thank you guys <3
The vega pump is an alternative to the in tank pump you can replace on these things. So instead of paying more, you get a very similar pump for cheaper and I have had no issues with it yet.

Well, I apparently couldnt stay away from lowering my car for very long. as much as I enjoyed beating it up and not worrying about anything driving wise, I would always catch myself thinking about lowering it again. The GF talked me out of it numerous times it feels like. Well I had a set of wheels in mind a while back and the seller and I couldnt make a deal at the time. Well they were for sale again and I made the decision that day that I wanted them and wanted my car down again. I had plans for 17s and bigger tires but I went with my gut on it and im so so happy I did. I think its the best look the car has had yet. Ive probably taken more pics of it in the last 3 days than I had over the time it had the 5s on it haha. First though, I made some changes that needed to be fixed.

I rebuilt basically the entire shifter assembly. Before, the gears were so so off. reverse actually ruined the center console. So the first thing was to fix that. After the gears were now in the correct spot, it was time to fix the console. Ordered a tan boot and found a frame for the boot from a buddy that sold it to me for the cost of shipping . unfortunately, the console I got was faded as fuck and wasnt even the same color. So we found some paint that was literally almost identical and I threw it in.





You can see the color difference. The lighter color is the paint.










Fixed




Next was to ditch the nardi. It just didnt fit right for me. So I was then on the hunt for a coarse spline mtech wheel. Got an offer for a sport wheel and took it. SO happy I did.




Also threw some 7 inch springs in the rear instead of the 6s I had.





One thing I didnt think would make that big of a difference was the color of the valence. Now black always looked fine to me but a buddy did a photoshop of it with it matched and I HAD to do it. unfortunately, I dont know the color of the car. its been resprayed and yadaydaydya. So I ordered a can of calypso in hopes it was close enough. I threw some white primer down to make the red pop but ran out of calypso since I ordered one can. I had some left over GM color that was a darker maroon and threw that on... ran out too. So thinking it was too dark, I got a lighter color at the parts store and went for it. 3 shades of red, two coats of clear, and numerous layers later, I got this.




Got it on the car and you can tell its lighter. I was so bummer but it seems to be gettting better. Maybe since Ive been driving it or just getting use to it and the car was dirty when I put it on.Red is very hard to match regardless so im not bummed at all about my $50 rattle can job.







Now onto the new wheels. Im usually not a fan of gold on red but I think the "maroon/pinkred" mix my car is helps the color.



The hat wasnt intentional. I promise im not that big of a douche.




Had to roll the rear some more. Still rubs a little. Oh well.



















SO HAPPY. the crazy thing is this visual transformation with wheels and valence took two days haha. anyway. yeah update yo.

Shes come so far

Love that shot !

<3

did all the brakes recently as well as the rear dogbones. Only bushings left on the car are the rear subframe, rear sway bar links, and the rear sway bar bushings. Only really plan on the links and sway bar bushings for now. May do poly bushings. Not sure yet.











Also changed up the exhaust for the 5th time..... the glasspack only was too loud for me so I got the perfect sized magnaflow and had it in 2 days from summit . Didnt have access to a welder but had a local buddy weld it up for me. Came out perfect with the fit. HArd to tell but it is butted up directly behind the glasspack and hangs down nearly just as far. Very happy with the fit.






And one closer look at the y-split that the shop did.




and some random car pics.
