    For sure man, I love it. Got all the bushings for the rear subframe and trailing arms ordered as well as reinforcement plates to weld to the body so that should be fun

        Got new rear wheel bearings, Condor Speed Shop rear subframe reinforcement plates, solid subframe bushing and a bunch more stuff going in the car about Wednesday of next week. Thinking I am going to put the stock 2.91 diff back in so I can reseal the 3.91 this winter. Super excited to get this round of stuff done and start ordering more parts. I will update with some pics here soon, life has been in the way of doing much the last couple months but I am getting back to making the car exactly what I want

          318ti autos have 4.44s if you wanna weld one of those and pretend you don't have first gear.

            Honestly the 3.91 is probably too steep even with the car being almost stock under the hood for the moment. I will probably start hunting for a 3.15 LSD or something similar for daily driving duty, welded 3.91 is fun when you want to hoon but it makes the school run a bit of a pain

              Been thinking about switching to 3.91 myself for hillclimbs but wasnt sure how steep they really are.

                Its fun for around town and tight courses but anything over about 70mph cruising sucks...

                  I had a welded 4.11 (IIRC) in a 325IS and around town and for skids it was great, rest of the time, I ***** life.

                    Got all the solid Condor Speed bushings installed tonight, still need an alignment but the car feels so much better already. Does seem like I need to take some damping out of the rear shocks, the soft/blown out rubber must have soaked a lot of small movements up haha. Put the stock 2.90 diff back in, wont be nearly as much fun around town but I have some traveling to do this winter and want to take the e36. Sadly it did raise the rear a touch, only have one adjuster on my rear coils and its bottomed out so I now need to decide it I am going to completely remove the adjuster and just run the 4" spring. Anyone near my ride height have suggestions on rear toe settings?

                      Such a huge improvement just from taking the camo off!

                          On the hunt for some parts this winter, if anyone has a 326power style wing, full body kit or a chassis mount shifter setup please pm me so I can buy them haha. Scored this Grip Royal wood grain steering wheel from a buddy, it has a couple cracks that I am fixing but for $20 how could I say no?

                            Maybe you could customize a third gen firebird wing to be more aggressive? super cheap idea
