Definitely well worth the money.

The coolant system just needed to be bled and topped up. Go figures. Still nice when its an easy fix that doesn't cost anything. Next up will be an alignment and painting the wheels a nice graphite color and rear brakes. __________________ Instagram: @derek_lit | | | 04-14-2015, 08:19 PM | #36 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | Good day for the butterfly pop out windows __________________ Instagram: @derek_lit | | | 04-14-2015, 09:19 PM | #37 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: NYC Queens Posts: 225 | lookin gorgeous man. Btw i notice that front suspension kit from bavauto.com came with control arm bushings but not the brackets right? So i'm assuming you had to use the bracket that was already on your car to pry out the old ones and pop in the new ones? __________________ 92 Nissan Stanza - Backseat Shenanigans and Tom Foolery - sold and would pickup another 94 Del Solo SI - The Go Get Her - sold 94 auto Prelude "S" for slowww - Daily schmaily - sold 91 MX-5 Miataz - Silversurfer - Weekend Bandicoot 96 5-speed 2dr RAV - Purple baby monster - New Daily | | | 04-14-2015, 10:25 PM | #38 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | You got it.

How difficult was it? | the bushings are a great bang-for-the-buck difference. if you google, there are pics comparing ti/base e30 to m3 and its a large difference. | | | 10-27-2015, 06:19 AM | #44 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | __________________ Instagram: @derek_lit | | | 12-14-2017, 03:28 AM | #45 | Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: New Hampshire, USA Posts: 73 | __________________ Instagram: @derek_lit | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
