Steinkek intro...
« on: September 27, 2007, 02:08:24 AM »
Hey guys im a new guy.  I just found this great site.  I recently purchased a 1991 318is.  I am an e36 guy so i am brand new to the e30s.  I will have lots of questions for you guys.  Here are some pictures of my car.

Plans so far are:
-Euro Grill
-Euro Smilies
-GroundControl Coilovers
-BBS RS if i can find some

I have no idea what kind of engine modifications are acctually worth doing?  



Interior is really clean

Only engine modification I would do right now is throw in a K&N filter into the stock airbox.  The car looks pretty damn clean except for the iS lip.

Looks great. Have fun modding her.

FYI, there's a set of 15" RS' for sale on r3vlimited/bf.c. Same as the ones you see in my sig. They would look great on your car :)

Thanks guys.  

I really would like a set of 16s. but i dont know i have to go make some money first.  Ha i figured i would not want to mod this one as much as i wanted to mod my e36 M3 but its just as bad if not worse with this car:rolleyes:

 I will have lots of questions for you guys eventually.  From jumping around on the forum it looks like everyone is very helpful and knows alot.  I look forward to learning everything i can from you guys.

What is the stock piece that goes there?  The PO is the one that installed that.

Nice car!

Normally there is a short rubber ture that runs from the airbox to a hole in that plastic shield behind the back of the driver's side headlights.

Thanks.  Where could i buy that or is there somekind of aftermarket replacment that i can buy?  I think this weekend i will be cleaning the engine bay so i will be posting some more pics.

Also i remember seeing a write up on painting the engine covers black.  Does someone know where it is?  and how hard/how much time it will take?
