i got board this morning and decided to hit up the junk yard,
and when i got there they had a wagon almost the same color as mine not exatly but close enough to were its not totaly noticeable.
but anyhoo i got a new hood and a right front fender since mine was f 'd up .
i think it makes it look alot cleaner but i also liked the purple too ,
so im gona have to decide if i wanna paint it again
oo yea i shaved my valve cover and me and kyle h got a good portion of my wire tuck done
dissasembly and clean up starts oo and i also got a stock air box for it too i think they look so much better and it also feels like i pick up a little tourqe too
after partial tuck and shave
new hood and fender
sorry for the bad night pics thats the best lit parking lot around i could find
the new hood looks great! you need to get some of those bumper brackets...or that metal bumper spacer thing. did you raise it up with that new fender on there?
yea i raised it up like 3/4 of an inch or so no rubbing now
yea i do need the spacer thing i wanted the metal one but i was lookin at it at the junk yard and its made only for the sedan fenders
but im gona get a crx bumper for sure as soon as i find one
yea the new hood and fender are so much nicer .
im def thinkin about repaint the car soon so ill prolly bring the purple back .
im also tryin to figure out a color that i can do that no one has really done on a wagon yet.
the only color i can really think of is a dark orange like this or even an off purple like this or keeping the gray just making it really dark almost black with some metalic or someting
...or keeping the gray just making it really dark almost black with some metalic or someting
that would be my vote.
not too crazy.
what about a dark matte blue?
i was browing h-t and saw an s2k that is matte blue.
it looks good, especially with it's black wheels.
i havent posted in a long time but i got a lil update on da wedge i scored a short shifter from the junk yard for 10 bux and i started to paint up the engine bay .
FOR THE BEST PART OF THE UPDATE THERES A WEDGE NUMBER 2 COMING SOOOON MAYBE TOMORROW .for 700 bux the guy claims that the trany slips but i went to check out the car its a 90 or 91 rt4wd and the guy has 3 of the same size tires and one little one on the front left i didnt say anything about it to him but im pretty sure thats the only problem ,hopefully he didnt have it like that too long to actually do damage .
if i pic it up ill post up pics as soon as i get home but for now heres a pic of my valve cover its a quick snap ill take a better one tomorrow in the day time
funny.. our wagons both had purple wheels and we both have bmw.. your starting to freak me out.. lol.. i dont have a m3.. i got a 325i E46.. i plan on blacking everything out... how much was you b16 swap..
ive got about 900 in the complete swap i bought a 91 da integra with the motor in it .
its a lot of fun to drive vtec is retarded loud with stock air box and a stock intgra muffler i would def recomend it .
the bmw thing is def wierd tho i think im gona send mine down the road to a new owner so i can bag my wagon and get some nice wheels i was thinkin some borbet 16s with the same 0 offest i have now and laying rocker ooooooo im gettin wet thinkin about it lol
ya that would be sick.. how much is a bag kit.. you still going to spend money on this wagon or start dumping money in the rt4wd.. that one is sick but damm i bet you wished that shit was a 6speed.. i might sell my bmw.. i dont drive it as much as i drive my wagon.. i might get a truck maybe...

umm depending on how much i get for the bmw kinda makes the out come for witch one im gona put money in and also depends if i can find a trany for the 4wd or at least fix the one thats in it .
and i havent really looked into the bag setup yet i asked a freind of mine that owns a shop that does tint and cutsom bag setups he said somewere around 800 bux or so for a complete setup
For the 6 speed thing i kinda like the automatic thing its nice not having to shift almost everything ive owned was a stick
i havent worked on my wedge for a wile between working on my bmw and my red wagon and alot of my freinds cars so ive ben making plans on working on it a lot in the next month .
so for those plans i finally got my bmw rejesterd on friday after i got a newer set of headlights, corners ,kidney grills,tune up and a lot cleaning heres a few pic from yesterday after we went to a local drivft event me and some buddys took a cruise and ended up driving over 200 miles some how lol
gettin all washed up
went to some random places and snapped some pics
and a pics of the other cars
and for what i am going to b doing in the next month is pulling out my motor and doing a timming belt , water pump ,full tune up plugs and wires oil change , and for the best reson im pulling it out is because i want to finish my tuck and shave all of the bolt holes and pin holes and smooth out any edges and get rid of all the unessasary stuff and prime and paint everything
oo and i went to the junk yard today and picked up a few good things
snagged some crx si rear mud flaps
and from the same car i got a rear sway bar
both of those for 26 bux
and on the way home stopped ad got some cheap 15 dollar floor matts for the wedge
