extremely hot car... it looks great, esp with the weaves and your track tires... having said that, your d/s car reigned *supreme* in my book...

Nice car! How did you fit the E36 signals? That must have been a ballsy maneuver...drilling holes in the fender!

asubimmer · « **Reply #7 on:** March 10, 2006, 01:23:48 AM »

the dremel and I are one...I fear not

BTW the they are e36/e34 and maybe a 7 also.

nice one. all Aust delivered e30s have turn signals. they are actually e30/e28 specific pieces, being a tad larger and squarer than the e36 style ones.

just got word that my M Coupe LSD has arrived. will have to go about getting that in straight away and tell you guys how it feels.

the 2 things I'm worried about:

1 - it is obviously 8 bolt, so it will be a tad heavier, plus I am told some ///M Coupe diffs are even heavier again.

2 - ratio is 3.9, so I might lose out a little on accel. It should be good on the track though.

however, it is a very tight 60% lock, so it should be good for some fun.

We shall see.

ohh wow I didn't notice the E30/e28 one was diff then the e36/e34. I'll have to look on the back of mine to see the other model its for.

BTW I just noticed you have the fog blanks too. Haha I think our cars are twins...but you have nicer shoes

not to mention yours looks nicer overal than mine
