i’m raising the front a tad just to fit a wider tri spoke up front. i messed up the fenders rolling them which drives me insane. they were perfect before. only blemish on the whole car. don’t want it to get worse.
people gatekeep it a lot. you won’t find really any info online but i’ll share the sauce. it’s a rsx dc5 roof wing that would go on the hatch. it doesn’t fit perfectly but it’s pretty close. just needs a little bit of heat to take shape better.
I can’t even handle the truth 😭 it’s been a DC5 roof wing this whole time! Yeah I couldn’t find anything on it online just people asking the same question but see some here and there rocking one. I appreciate the info definitely will try this. Love your car BTW
Love the wheels. I had an e36 M3 convertible and the nicest thing I did for it was adding a wind deflector- I think it was Raceland but it was such a difference when driving with the top down. Of course, you lose the ability to use the backseats so it’s not great if you have kids. Anywho, good looking car, enjoy it!
i said i’m a purist but this is the only way i like the verts. i hate how a vert looks oem+ they look terrible. my e30 is oem+ with minus the wheels, they’re temporary. looking for good spec bbs. if i had a sedan or coupe it would look nothing like this lol
He said “ a bit of a purist” everyone likes to venture out of their norm every once in a while. Let the dude slide a vert around at low speed it’s not going to hurt anyone.
The rear quarters on e36's are too low compared to the front, it's just how they are. I'd rather tuck than have too much rake. I tuck 235's on mine and I think it looks fine.
hah i have a brand new soft top next to me right now. its navy blue to match my pin stripe. my soft top is powered and believe it or not it works perfectly and has never given me an issue. i’d like to put a new soft top on but e36’s like to collect water in there when a hardtop is on and it forms a lot of mold in the top.
i’ve already looked into it a lot of my friends drift. cage was supposed to be ordered but i didn’t. i have a diff to weld from a friend. and the front is being raised a tad. not the rear. doing big angle kit with overs on front probably.
yeah it was honestly really thin too. was like $280 and had to put filler on a lot of it and it’s still got like 3 pin holes and slightly flexed while the paint was drying.
no issues with my axels but i would like to put in axels spacers when i weld the diff. I’m running broadway static coils on swift springs. believe it’s 16k/18k. sounds stiff and it’s a little bouncy but unbelievably smooth for what it is. if you want to stance a car broadways is the only coilover i would recommend. it rides amazingly smooth for the height. my girls car is a drift car and not nearly as low and my car probably rides smoother. broadways will run you around 2500 with swift springs and a 2-3 month wait but it is very very much worth it.
i’m also running tower reinforcements and e46 control arms on the front. i have offset bushings in the control arm lolipops but i DO NOT recommend if you’re going this low. it gave me an unbelievably high amount of caster and made me have to roll my fenders outwards. they were perfect before and now in my eyes ruined. next time im doing extended e36 arms, mainly because e46 arms break easier (and so i can get a 2-3 inch extension).
Thanks for the info I drift mine all I’ve done is godspeed mono ss coilovers and cnc71 lock adapter with e46 lca’s definitely would recommend axle spacers when you weld your diff I’ve gone through too many axles that’s my next upgrade
yeah i meant to do it when i did my hubs. i have redrilled hubs to fit both 5x120 and 5x114.3. so i don’t need adapters. costed me like $900 lol. and ofc i forgot the spacers. would’ve saved me a lot of time in the long run. especially since i locktight one of my axels in.
I wanna get drilled hubs wheel selections roughhhh and yeah definitely lock tight your axles I made the mistake and didn’t and my hub and wheel and caliper everything ripped of and took everything with it lol
i know someone who left the sides of it and bolted the sides to the side of the bumper. idk how to describe it. i think the flip lip sits low enough personally. any lower and it’ll be kit low and destroyed from the probably low spring rate
i’m from jersey and drive it a lot. i’m about to drive it to Chattanooga TN which apparently has horrible roads. i’ve driven it in cities with horrible roads as well. like philly and baltimore.
it’s a coupe. not a vert. i said only the verts like this. and can we leave apex arc 8’s in last decade. as a coupe its not bad. as a vert that would look stupid.
I think you'll have a hard time convincing anyone of that, regardless of their opinion on your styling. Maybe try leaving attaching your lip with self tappers in the past?
because of the height of the car, i have to sometimes take it off. thats the reasoning for the self tappers. i have painted white rivets for it but that would mean my whole bumper would have to come off instead.
Nice car man is that lip the one where you cut the top of another non m bumper?
Is that what it is? Interesting
yeah on a 1992 e36 front bumper
Sorry really curious about this. What do i do? Looks fantastic btw
you cut the middle section below the trim out. it kinda has lines where to cut if you have the post 93 bumper.
yeah
I like mine a little higher but yours looks great slammed.
i’m raising the front a tad just to fit a wider tri spoke up front. i messed up the fenders rolling them which drives me insane. they were perfect before. only blemish on the whole car. don’t want it to get worse.
3 spokes 👌👌👌
I think i follow u on ig 🤘🏻. Cheers dude
hell ye
Ya, that looks great.
Advans look so fucking good on the e36
[удалено]
the sa3r v2s. obviously. but since you want to be a dickhead.
the only advans that are on the car lol.
Don't forget to bring a towel!!
This guy knows.
It's how I roll. Hardtops come with rules.
i always have one on me. my seat is perpetually wet. only reason i don’t have a bucket seat already 🤣
Nice, man!
I’ve been thinking of throwing a roof spoiler on my hardtop. May I get info on your hardtop roof spoiler setup?
people gatekeep it a lot. you won’t find really any info online but i’ll share the sauce. it’s a rsx dc5 roof wing that would go on the hatch. it doesn’t fit perfectly but it’s pretty close. just needs a little bit of heat to take shape better.
I can’t even handle the truth 😭 it’s been a DC5 roof wing this whole time! Yeah I couldn’t find anything on it online just people asking the same question but see some here and there rocking one. I appreciate the info definitely will try this. Love your car BTW
thank you and no problem. usually whenever you ask anyone they just won’t answer lol.
[удалено]
and you’re allowed to have your own opinion.
Love the wheels. I had an e36 M3 convertible and the nicest thing I did for it was adding a wind deflector- I think it was Raceland but it was such a difference when driving with the top down. Of course, you lose the ability to use the backseats so it’s not great if you have kids. Anywho, good looking car, enjoy it!
an m3 is an exception for me. thats one that i could consider not making static like this.
I’m strangely attracted to the sled.
hard
I mean..."purists" don't absolutely slam an E36, heavily camber the wheels, and put chrome 3 spoke wheels on it --- but you do you dude
i said i’m a purist but this is the only way i like the verts. i hate how a vert looks oem+ they look terrible. my e30 is oem+ with minus the wheels, they’re temporary. looking for good spec bbs. if i had a sedan or coupe it would look nothing like this lol
Wtf is this comment section. Sub is being takin over by posers 💀
every time i post my car dude lol. should’ve seen the e30 subreddit when i posted my e30 tucking tri spokes in the back lol.
Is this a piss rim reference
maybe
He said “ a bit of a purist” everyone likes to venture out of their norm every once in a while. Let the dude slide a vert around at low speed it’s not going to hurt anyone.
I bet it runs better than anything you own, that is if you even own a car.
How do you even make this correlation? Lol I’m in the same boat as they are, and I can guarantee it doesn’t run better than a few of mine
That stance is puke. The rear tire should never tuck into the quarter. Take your 205s somewhere else
i don’t have 205’s on the rear lol. cry about it. these are quarters are made to tuck. if i buy a sedan im dropping the rear even more 🤣
The rear quarters on e36's are too low compared to the front, it's just how they are. I'd rather tuck than have too much rake. I tuck 235's on mine and I think it looks fine.
Black hardtop🤝not a black car. Same. The tri spokes look sweet
it’s getting repainted white tomorrow. i was gonna repaint it black but decided to go white.
Nice. Mine is eventually gonna match as well. But I want to paint the whole car black
my paint and body is in perfect condition so i’m keeping it white. i wish it was black.
I kinda like the black Issa vibe
yeah sucks it’s not shiny. if it was gloss black i’d leave it. the pain is destroyed.
I really need a hardtop
if you ask me the softop looks tons better lol. if a bear didn’t tear up my soft top i would’ve never bought the hardtop.
I'll trade you my 2 year old soft top for your hardtop hahaha
hah i have a brand new soft top next to me right now. its navy blue to match my pin stripe. my soft top is powered and believe it or not it works perfectly and has never given me an issue. i’d like to put a new soft top on but e36’s like to collect water in there when a hardtop is on and it forms a lot of mold in the top.
Damn thats gonna look slick. My e36 top motor went out awhile back lol. Wait where do they collect water?
it slips thru the hinge where the hardtop latches on. didn’t realize till i put my ripped up bear top up and it was covered in mold.
Huh I'll have to look into this
slammed verts are my favorite, this things sick 🤙 it'll look great if you paint match the hard top
[удалено]
i’ve already looked into it a lot of my friends drift. cage was supposed to be ordered but i didn’t. i have a diff to weld from a friend. and the front is being raised a tad. not the rear. doing big angle kit with overs on front probably.
i’ve been thinking about buying a sedan to drift but i kinda just want an oem+ sedan
wing ID?
i think it was k2 drag wing for vert. they make them for coupes and sedans as well. if you don’t have a 3rd brake light on your vert use the coupe.
was hoping you said anything other than K2 😂 Their prices be ridiculous
yeah it was honestly really thin too. was like $280 and had to put filler on a lot of it and it’s still got like 3 pin holes and slightly flexed while the paint was drying.
What are you running for suspension? Any issues with your axles?
no issues with my axels but i would like to put in axels spacers when i weld the diff. I’m running broadway static coils on swift springs. believe it’s 16k/18k. sounds stiff and it’s a little bouncy but unbelievably smooth for what it is. if you want to stance a car broadways is the only coilover i would recommend. it rides amazingly smooth for the height. my girls car is a drift car and not nearly as low and my car probably rides smoother. broadways will run you around 2500 with swift springs and a 2-3 month wait but it is very very much worth it.

I wanna get drilled hubs wheel selections roughhhh and yeah definitely lock tight your axles I made the mistake and didn’t and my hub and wheel and caliper everything ripped of and took everything with it lol
i’m saying i made the mistake of locktighting them because i wanted to put spacers on them after.
What coilovers ?
broadway static
Flip lip on top! Currently working on my own version of a flip lip that sits a little lower
i know someone who left the sides of it and bolted the sides to the side of the bumper. idk how to describe it. i think the flip lip sits low enough personally. any lower and it’ll be kit low and destroyed from the probably low spring rate
You are practically laying frame static? Braver man than me. You must not have roads that are practically third world with potholes the size of Texas.
i’m from jersey and drive it a lot. i’m about to drive it to Chattanooga TN which apparently has horrible roads. i’ve driven it in cities with horrible roads as well. like philly and baltimore.
Hard af jesus
This car came together nicely!
not done just yet. gotta get my wider fronts on and fix my fenders i rolled poorly 🫠
That front bumper really hits the spot
looks stupid, raise it a couple inches and it'll actually look really good.
only way these verts can look good is on the ground or with an angle kit 🤣
Not at all. I’ve seen tons of beautiful verts with hard tops that are only slightly lower than OEM and look fantastic.
i see them and every time i see them i just think “damn this would look decent if it tucked the rear” 😂
I don't get the appeal of "tucking". It makes the car look broken. I keep all my cars raked slightly so the fender to wheel gap is even.
saying tucking looks broken when you keep your front lower than your rear is kinda crazy 😂
[This](https://www.instagram.com/p/C1iPIW-JrM0/) is crazy? The car functions beautifully and the fitment is proper.
it’s a coupe. not a vert. i said only the verts like this. and can we leave apex arc 8’s in last decade. as a coupe its not bad. as a vert that would look stupid.
Coming from the guy with tri-spokes from the 90's? Ironic.
there’s a difference between taste and generic. as well as an m3 and a 325. you ever gonna realize that 🤣
also let’s leave m trim and bumpers and skirts on 325’s in the past too 😂
I think you'll have a hard time convincing anyone of that, regardless of their opinion on your styling. Maybe try leaving attaching your lip with self tappers in the past?
because of the height of the car, i have to sometimes take it off. thats the reasoning for the self tappers. i have painted white rivets for it but that would mean my whole bumper would have to come off instead.
I disagree lol, they look super classy when at a sensible height
[удалено]
it has tail lights. they’re solid red.
Look like apsolute shit. In.Pro or MHW.
36 verts are just so clean slammed like this, thats why i want two, one to drift, one to slam 😂 i already got one, just need the other
only way the verts look good lol
