Title: New Daily Driver
Post by: Awgy on February 06, 2010, 09:35:14 PM

So I got tired of driving my turbo every day. The speeding, harsh driving, abusing it when not needed. It deserves some rest.

So I got me a 94 318iS.
She is a little rough around the edges but very strong mechanically.

I through some Bilstein Sports with Bavarian Autosport springs and some style 44 rims to wake up the handling. During the install I looked over all bushings, joints and rods and found them to be in great shape. I then noticed some M3 lower control arm bushings.:)

Even though this is a DD, I want little body roll. So might install some stiffer sways and a X-brace. I promised my self no engine mods except a possible light weight flywheel.

Anyways, Some pics. Pics of the style 44 rims come tomorrow. To dark for decent pics right know.
