Rare colors in general seem more common om the usa 318ti. I think cordoba is more common on compacts than it is on the e36, but that might just be because there are only so few US compacts. I've got a hellrot which is anything but unique, but it's has the clubsport package. The color on the s13 looks really good and will look good on your car for sure. This is a clean ti you are building. It seems like this is quite the undertaking, especially the ducktail. | | | 02-28-2014, 02:53 AM | #34 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by minimike I've never heard of that rear arm conversion!

That ducktail is looking interesting, it will be good to see how it is when done.

Yeah I hope its going to turn out alright! not really sure what made me want to go this far with it, think one of the reasons is that a lot of people hate the compact here so want to prove they do look good! I have a classic mini in my garage that I started restoring a few years ago that I should really finish! haha Quote: Yup the 6cyl trailing arms are just a bit longer, as for the roll bar, you would have to use a M roll bar that bolts onto the strut tower, and then you would have to use front M shocks/coilovers, that come with the tab to bolt the endlink of the sway bar onto.

It’s only a possibility at the moment though.

The bimmer is looking sorry for its self now, Most of the smoothing is done now just the dent removal to go and should hopefully be in primer by the end of this week!

I am assuming you took it out for a cleaner look? Sorry for having you explain something so simple. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!
