Slammed E36's with non-M bumpers.

[Bingo]

Hmm well because my M3 brakes won't fit under 16's, and by that logic why don't you get 14's? I could care less about comfy rides, I have stiff suspension, fixed back race seats and a gutted interior. And as far as unsprung weight the forged BBS I have are 19.6 lbs. making them lighter than my OEM wheels.

I wasn't trying to start a fight, I was just voicing my opinion which everyone is entitled to do seeing as how this is a public forum...

The point I was trying to make is that you called him out for putting M3 wheels on his car and them not being functional, where if you thought about it, you would know why larger wheels ARE functional. Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I figured since your car is all kitted out for the track, you could understand why someone would want to replace their stock 15"s.

But whatever. It's his car, and he can do what he want, and we're all entitled to our opinions...

wat tire size is this???

[Ollie1662]

lol, you are contradicting yourself, and my garage queen has more track mods than your car. You should take the money you saved and invest in some grammar lessons, you can't even form sentences.

Youre contradicting yourself too and youre making yourself look like a tool.

Track time > Track mods

but seriously

hard parking > *

The Red one is pretty hardcore

Good to see that non-M cars get some loving too!

Here are a few of my car:

NOTE: My 17" Radial Spoke 73 wheels have pretty oversized tires in these pics (compared to stock bottlecaps). My car sits alot lower since I put the bottlecaps back on. I will get the proper sized tires when I replace what came on my 17"s.

















Bottlecaps back on (Sorry for terrible camera phone pics)

[TIMSGT]

what kind of lip is that?

[Hodge]

eBay...its Polyurethane though. I have scraped on many-a-driveways but it has yet to even get a scratch on it.

Probably the best thing I have ever gotten from eBay.

[TIMSGT]

it looks really good

[Hodge]

it looks really good

Thanks..I kinda like it too!

It is probably my second favorite non-M lip there is.

That's why I got that one too, polyurethane, takes a beating and I really have mine dumped on coilovers. Nice looking ride!!

[kingfish]

stock FTW! (or until i can afford some lip thingy)

[bassrebel]

my car being filthy

[Hodge]

Nice!

Do you have camber plates or something?

My coils only have one thread left, but I also have stock-style upper mounts that have a slight camber increase. I wonder if plates would lower it a little and allow me to bring the perch up a bit.

Been looking at Vorshlag plates like I have for my E30.

No plates, tires are flush on the road surface and surprisingly alignment seems great after adjustment..not sure about the plates relative to the perch ..

[Hodge]

Hmm..I wonder what tire size he is running....

Stock bcaps are 205/60/15 I know, and my 17" RS73's came with 205/50/17 (too big)...

Probably going to get 215/45/17 to match the stock height, and get 225/50/15 for the bcaps for auto-cross use.

[ponchiz318]

Yo Hodge, could you by any chance find out the name of your lip? That thing is hot and is exactly what I'm looking for.

Here is my car, the Montreal Blue, and some random white E36 parked behind me.
