Bought My First E30! Any Advice? Upgrades? - Page 3

Thanks for weighing in, that's one of the things I like about pelican, you have to narrow it down a lot more than autopartsway. I'm still not sure which parts differ on a vert, I was told some of the suspension parts are different, I assume to compensate for the added weight.

I've ordered from pelican's before, good service, I don't think I got dinged with brokerage, but I don't recall for sure.

Nice car, way cool interior, looks like M3 seats(horizontal stitching). It needs a good leatherique treatment and it will look like a million bucks.

Get rid of those metal bumpers ASAP. I would put a nice set of coil overs on it and some 15/16" oem wheels.
Then Auto to Manual swap?
Stage zero? Do you come from the volvo world by any chance?

Thanks for the review.
Sounds good, I'll definitely pick up some stuff from leatherique as well.
defaultname threw in some awesome 15" tsw basket weaves I'll be sure to get on as soon as I pick up some new tires.
The other stuff is a bit further down the road.
Also no, not a volvo person, this is my first car :p, might have picked up the term from one though.

Finally fixed the kick panel, wrestle off the oil filter and do some basic maintenance.
Parts have shipped, Hopefully I can do some real work this weekend.
Loving the car so far!

ALWAYS: ask seller to ship USPS.
UPS will rape you on the brokerage fees.
