Project learning curve: my e28 build

[fsiguy]

Today I did my plugs and was pleasantly surprised to find out the PO had platinums in there... Needless to say I threw them in the garbage and threw in some good old copper plugs. The car feels like a whole new car, much smoother and much more responsive. Now hopefully she'll pass her emission for me tomorrow. :\ After that I took the car out for a rip and drove the hell out of it because it felt fantastic and then I snapped my shifter plate holder thing (I dunno wtf it's called lol) I managed to get it in gear (only one I could find was 3rd) and I got it all the way home in 3rd. Simply fix though, macgyver'd a little support and I was back in business.

As usual I forgot to take pictures but after all was fixed I drove her down to the park by my house and snapped some pics, enjoy!

Looks great dude. Can't believe this is a home paint job. And god damn you are low.

Thanks man, its far from perfect but its definitely a hell of a lot better than before lol. It's honestly the perfect height IMO, I had it lower before but I couldn't really beat on it, and that doesn't work for me. As it sits now it's still really low and I drive the shit out of it each and every day!

Thanks dude! Those are my 2 favourites as well.

Thank you sir, next is euro bumpers 100%, then it's either bigger rear lips or more power. Seeing as the search for more power will be never ending I may do the bigger rear lips first but who knows! We'll see what the future holds.

Here's a couple new photos to try and keep things interesting :\

Thank you sir! I'll definitely be wet sanding and buffing it only reason I haven't yet is because my friend took a chip out of my door and I'm going to repay that section before I wet sand so I can blend it in but its too cold already up here so ill have to wait until spring Also those last two pictures the car is soaking wet so the paint looks a little matte, in the other pictures it looks pretty glossy but wet sanding and buffing will definitely make it muuuch better.

wow what a dick
