VTISmichael Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Picking up a bmw E36 325 at the weekend, got big plans for her but as she current stands its not great, been standing a while now, no mot (ran out he says) or tax but i had a good look underneth and looks pretty gd actually, discs look a bit rusted, it has E46 wheels on it but he gave me the option of not having them so im not as i dont like them and the rubber is shot. Got a newish sub with mini amp but ill be selling that with the interior and after jump starting it, it ran quite smooth for 146k miles. Going to build it it on a budget.Plans are:get it mot'dnew discs/padscompletely strip it outfront bucket seats2.8 diff or a welded diffcheapy coiloverspolybushed subframemodded front hubs with extended tie rods(coming soon)de-badgesort rear archesremove spoilerfull exhuast systeminduction inletstrut bracespossibly vinyl wrap or spray can jobbymaybe roll cageive got a set of s14 wheels i think i can use but might get some non bimmer wheels for driftingthis is my first proper go at doing a drift car and its going to be fun and a gd learning curve for me so i hope u guys enjoy my progress with it, pics of her will come soon!! but heres the expired ebay listing:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTISmichael Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 was thinking of these coilovers, not the best but will do the job for a year i would think ? might need front mount camber tops hmm.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TA-TECHNIX-CO ... 51a08d2235or..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRO-SPORT-Hei ... 3379e12378what do u think ?

fyfie5 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 ive got ta technics on my civic atm and they are good coilovers but the pro sport ones look a lot better and not much price difference, they have helper springs you can take out if you want to go super low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Proper bargain, should have a right laugh with it as it won't hurt so much if you do stuff it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 The pro sport ones look like a better build and it does say they have a 2 year warrenty, going to be interesting driving it on sunday, never driven a bimmer before let alone 1 thats been standing like a year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
