Dave
Thanks for swinging by. Bringing me lunch and showing me how to remove "The Nasty" passenger side Control Arm.
Total job took me 12 hours by the time I cleaned up the shop...
Car handles like a dream now.

Well the coilover front end and adjustable rear end with Koni yellow adjustables and beefy sway bars is done. Here are a few picks of the build. It was a bunch of work but well worth it.
The car is stiff and low with great steering response. The sway bars really make it stick in quick transitions and sweepers. I can't wait to get er out on the track.

(Just need some good rubber)
Enjoying it.
Thanks to Bimmerclassics for hooking me up.

Shameless Plug>>> Anderson's towing out of Richmond BC sure know how to treat a Bimmer right. I highly reccomend them. (604) 250-0906

Car is fully Slamafied> This is what it looks like now.

All I need now is a passenger side Fog Light and a 425-LSD to finish it off (As if it will ever be finished)

Thanks to all the awesome BimmerHeads that hooked me up with information and parts.

Hey-U · 04-18-2009, 12:36 PM

Nice job Tim. She must be on rails.

E30M3 · 04-19-2009, 01:41 PM

Lithium · 04-19-2009, 07:30 PM

YeaH > The rear settled a little more than I had planned / measured. I"m not sure whether I am going to raise the rear or lower the front. I think I will drive it for a couple days & think on it.
ChrZ!

Shocka · 04-19-2009, 08:29 PM

My vote is for a little up in the back, and a little more than that down in front.

**Blackice** · 04-21-2009, 10:52 AM

Hey Tim, just a quick question. Why was your car on a tow truck ?

Um - I just had it washed and I did'nt want any road grime to get on it. Yeah Yeah > Sometimes I just drive it around on a flatbed like that so people can see it without wearing out my tires.
Pretty Cool Eh???

Lithium · 05-20-2009, 04:47 PM

BAD NEWS!!!! - I got cut off Sunday evening and spun into a ditch. ICBC just told me the car is totaled. URG!!!! I meet with them Friday to discuss value etc...
I am thinking of parting it out or swapping parts onto another E-30 > does anyone know this car???

Any advise you can lend would be of great help...

**Blackice** · 05-20-2009, 05:10 PM

No way

That sucks man, I feel for you....

I think you should buy it back from ICBC and part it out. I can give you hand with that, lets talk after the race tonight.
