German Trash Truck Buld Thread

Hybrid For Life · 01-15-2012, 09:58 PM

So I've been lurkin around on here for the days and posted a few pics and what not.
Been hunting for a new car for way to long(about a year). I finally found what I was looking for about 3 weeks ago.
Drove up to Santa Maria in a friends e30 with him to scope it out, liked what I saw had an inspection done and all come back well. Worked the guy down on the price and drove it home. Having never drove manual before it was a bit of an adventure but I got it home in one piece.
First or business was getting wheels which I picked up off the beemer forum and off I went.

Updates will be made when things come up...

Hybrid For Life · 01-15-2012, 09:58 PM

Wheel spec as of right now. 265/30-19 rear. 245/35-19 front.

Hybrid For Life · 01-15-2012, 09:59 PM

Cane home from work on tuesday for lunch ad had this waiting for me.

Hybrid For Life · 01-15-2012, 10:00 PM

Took like 10 minutes to get into my driveway with my car only being on H&R springs...

Yeah about those damn coilovers. 4 hours later, driver side rear was installed and it was dark... Caleed it a night
Tomorrow I should getting the other 3 corners in though.

DC_Oldboy · 01-16-2012, 12:10 AM

I like it!

intensee92 · 01-16-2012, 12:35 AM

That is one shitty driveway though. I'd hate to get up that thing everyday.

Hooy · 01-16-2012, 12:50 AM

Keep it up

mapleridge · 01-16-2012, 01:10 AM

looks like burnt tips. Lets see a rear shot of the car with those.

Alen E90 · 01-16-2012, 01:15 AM

Thankfully I don't as I normally park on the street but yes it is a real pain in the arse to get in and out of.

Just a quick pic I took last night after the coils were installed (max height front and rear FYI).

MassBimmer · 01-16-2012, 10:03 AM

Car looks awesome, congrats!

smack · 01-16-2012, 11:14 AM

Looks good. Can you get into the driveway now?

Negative. If I wanted to get into my driveway now I would have to take the jack up to the street pull of the wheels spin down the coils and then put the wheels back on just to get into the driveway.

4 hours for one corner? C'mon son.

jb's335 · 01-17-2012, 04:05 PM

Wow thats full height? Still looks awesome haha. Love the TE's!!

E46toE90 · 01-18-2012, 05:25 AM

What percentage is your tint ?

Timothy J · 01-18-2012, 09:31 AM

I'm guessing ~35%-40%

Hybrid For Life · 02-03-2012, 09:34 PM

With regards to the tint I have no clue. It was on the car when I bought it.

Hybrid For Life · 02-03-2012, 09:35 PM

On another note I got over having stock exhaust and I just dont want to spend the money on a nice complete exhaust or even and axle back or cat back because my car is slow as it is and 8 hp really doesnt mean shit to me anyways.
So.... I went another route.
I'll try and get a vid of how it sounds sometime this weekend.
