    While I was in there I aslo decided to do shifter arm bushings (x3). Really great quality and fitment. Shift isnt moving at all. The greatest feeling ever lol. But seriously tho haha.

    Back from vaction(nah not really)

    I would like to thank the ones for the birthday wishes.

    How was everyone Holiday, mines started with my birthday then followed by Thanksgiving.....sooo i didnt have too much time on the E30. I was able to go over it today and handle a few ins and outs..


    P.S. Birthday cake is fully custom and represent a Creole Gumbo Pot from where I'm from.

    The first pic of parts is the rear end speed sensor.....the positive wire beoke off so i took it apart......extended the wire and merged it directly ro the male pin...followed by electrical tape then heated up to make more sturdy.


    The pics after the rear end is custom brakets i made for the fog light housing and to hold them. The E30 came with some but was rigged up and and also held but ziptie.


    I also want to thank you guys for taking the time out to watch the videos and view the post....I hope I'm able to help someone out in the future thats looking for these types of ideas and info.

    Happy Holidays, Driftlifeclutchtwice

    Soooooo i started doing some stuff.....

    Deleted the front bumber splitter to cover up the extra space with sheet metal
    Also covering the trans tunnel the same way. Then ill start wrapping it in carbon fiber wrap.
    The E30 is really starting to shape up a bit.

    Like I said before hand i wanted to worry about the little stuff first before tackling the big stuff.
    Mainly wanted to give the car some of my taste so I would feel more involved with it .

    Enough with the mushy mushy

    Heres some P.i.c P.o.r.n (sloopy type)

    I know I havent been showing any good stuff lately so I've rounded up a few pics for you all........enndddiinnggg with a video lol.

    I ordered some aluminum hub centric wheel spacers. Needed them for the extra slack.

    Installed wheels knowing inhave the ultimate hold now.(was using them with spacers before grinded and hud centric).
    Seeing that i got the wrong ones.....i was off 00.1 so i decided to grind some off and that worked great.

    Then came around installeing the passanger sport seat. Had to make custom brakets and mounting points

    Also installed another exhaust......this one is alot better. Took it from a honda accord.
