Sketchy E36 M3

Nice progress, I like the square DSII's too.

Thanks man, Im a huge fan of your red car as well. Id much rather have contours, but at least they arent DSI's haha. Too bad my DSII's are super beat

It looks surpisingly good on those pics above!

I think nowadays you have to keep an E36 stock-ish to make it stand out...

Thanks! The paint shines(except for rear bumper and roof) but lots of little scratches and hard water spots. Both of which drive me crazy lol. Ehh, i think that just so many people have done these cars in so many different kinds of ways its hard to make a certain one stand out above the rest. All i know is i want to be able to drive mine the way it was intended to be driven.

Awesome build. Can't wait to see those rims go on.

Where'd you get that Good Vibes sticker? Its rad as hell.

Sorry for the crappy phone photos, but i tried to polish this turd with some claybar and wax. Really need some buffing done on it

I tried to lower the fronts more, but the barrel was grinding against the collars on the coils. so i just raised it back up. Theres like maybe 2mm between the wheel and coilover lol. Now time to save up to buy stuff after winter!

The new front pads dust soooo much. idk why, but the wheels are rattle canned so i dont really care.

Nice work! This is everything I want to do to my e36 m3, so I will definitely be following.

I then decided to straight pipe my car. I remembered how my buddies old e36 sounded straight piped so i went for it, but my dumbass forgot that the midpipe was gutted from the P/O. When i first started the car i realized that i had fucked up lol. It was so loud i ***** driving the car. I ended up getting an ebay special super sprint replica to tide me over for now.

My next purchase was a stud conversion kit. Because wheel bolts just plain suck.

I got BC's too I just put them on last night, so they arent quite adjusted yet, ill post a photo when i get the car to the height i want.

Alrighty, time for updates. ill start off by saying i sold the Weds. I decided that buying them wasnt a good idea and the money could be used for something else, So i took an L and sold them to my buddy. My Ortiz pod finally came in, and id say it was worth the wait, awesome quality!

I also started on replacing the control arms. Nothing to exciting. The inner balljoint was rusted into the subframe Making it a mother fucker to get it out.

Heres the pod in the car, also got a new shift knob.

I knowwww I have been looking at buying a pair for a bit, I was looking at the A4 seats too making it hard to decide!

Ive sat in A4's before and i have to say im a big fan.

[R@36]

Nooooooo lol. These are pretty cheap new!. If i had to do it again id honestly get Corbeau A4's. The sparcos are really nice, but i think theyd be better for someone with a wider frame lol. I have a decent amount of wiggle room when im in the seats. Theyre still awesome though!

I'm liking where this is going, Sub'd!

Thanks! Ill have more updates after this weekend. It will probably slow down a little bit because its pretty much winter.
