Hey, sorry I never had a chance to. I actually took the lip off for the track day but will be reinstalling everything this weekend. Also trying to find a tall enough speed bump that I'd actually be worried. On most, it's not a problem at all. The times I do scrape is when I'm exiting a steep driveway

Thank you so much! Honestly, the pictures don't do the lip justice. It looks way meaner in real life, but it's still very practical and doesn't scrape everywhere.

Sorry for late reply. This isn't the tallest speed bump out there, but it was at work so convenient for me to snap a pic. It's one of those that are long than taller. I know it's hard to even see the speed bump, but you'll notice that it eventually reaches the height of that curb right there. But even the taller ones, I can clear, just have to be a little careful. Hope this helps a little bit.

While I'm at it, snapped a couple of pics of the car. FINALLY have all the exterior trims on at the same time, that has never happened before. Went through quite a bit of double sided tape last weekend

Thanks for the pics! Definitely helps to see the ground clearance.

Really no updates let. The car is more or less done haha. I did take it to the track a couple of weeks ago for the first time and got completely hooked. I had a blast, but realized the car is just way too much for a beginner like me. I wanted a car that was cheaper to run on the track and a bit slower pace so that I can learn to drive more accurately. So I ended up picking up this car locally.

Techno Violet/Dove
120k miles (last 15k were mostly highway)
PSS9 coilovers
Hawk pads
All bushings already done

I'll do a few things here and there on the E36, but she's more or less track ready. Aiming to go back in the fall when it's not quite as hot.


Super happy about these 2 cars. Definitely benchmarks (IMHO)

She's looking real good!!

Took her out for a mountain drive yesterday. I have to say, that S65 just never gets old.

Some gorgeous scenery in NC:


Also been enjoying the hell out of the E36. Put a ton of miles on it. It does need a few small things, but boy, now I know why people love this car so much. I know people keep comparing this to an FRS/BRZ (especially those guys at the Drive network), but for what I'm looking for, it's not even a comparison.

Oh I know, I can't get enough of this color!

Within 1 week, I added LTW's (with new tires at the rear), ZHP knob, took out fog lights, blacked out the kidneys, and replaced the RHS headlight which was looking very old and tired. Also spent a day detailing it.

Will change all fluids, delete mechanical fan, upgrading headlight bulb (the current ones SUCK!) and delete ASC this weekend. Love this car




Photoshoot with both M3's soon hopefully.

I love the e36!

Congrats on the e36, TV has always been one of my favorite OEM colors. E92 is of course looking great as well.

How do you like the ForceWerkz FRP side skirts?

Love the E36. Get your two babies together for a shoot

Thanks! To be honest, I was never a huge fan of the E36. But now that I've tried it myself, it's awesome. And the price of entry is amazing.

I like the FRP skirts a lot! They fit the car well and gives it a really beefy look. Makes the car look wider, and IMO is worth the money.

Oh I will. Hopefully this weekend if the weather hold up! Thanks for the kind words!!

Hanging out with a couple of forum members at our local Cars & Coffee

Always liked your car the first time I saw it on the forums. The dark face with polished lip is tough to pull off these days, but you execute it flawlessly.

Any plans to mod the angel eyes or keep it oem?

Thanks very much! I think these HRE's work perfectly with the color. Plus I promise you they look much better (more 3D) in real life. I actually prefer to keep the front end stock. Pretty much every new car nowadays has white LED lights, I just like having something different. Plus I also remember seeing angel eyes for the first time on an E39 and was blown away. This is probably another reason why I left the turn signals orange on the E36. Thanks again for the kind words!

I bought my HRE S104's (first 3-piece set) based on your photos and belief that they would not look too small as some claimed. Love your setup and have always been happy with mine. Still have a picture of your car on my iPad from when I was researching ideas.

[Amirsm3]

Good stuff, bro. I definitely have a soft spot for those wheels.

The E36 looks too clean to be tracked. Lock it in the garage and buy another one.
