New Guy "JPS"
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:28 am
Hey guys,
As of 20 hrs ago Ive aquired my first bavarian girlfriend, the particular individual is a Black JPS liveried E21 323i Motorsport......unfortunately in her younger days when she was white, somebody had the great idea to COMPELTELY resparay the car in JPS livery and create somewhat of a replica, unfortunately the previous owner to me in his younger days was fooled by the facade and was dazzled by the schwartz paint and shiny gold accents and bought the car (for way too much) unbenowns to him that it wasnt infact a genuine JPS,
About me:
I have owned a few "sporty" cars in the past, including, 1.9 205 Gti, AE86 GTV Street car, AE86 GTV Track car, and a 71 Benz 280
my only experience with BMW's in the past was my father owning a 2002tii, and an E28 535M, both of which still have a definite aesthetic appeal with me
And here we have the specs:
323i
Black
Manual
LSD
New Bilstein shocks
High temp pads
Original Recaro interior in very good condition
BMW Motorsport Steering wheel
"fresh" motor with unknown "headwork"...from what I know its a little more spritely than your regular 323i
New exhaust, still maintains that BMW sound throught the whole rev range, reminds me alot of Tony Longhursts 635
Plans:
Hopefully do a little more work suspension wise, it handles beautifully now but we always want more right?
Still 50/50 on retaining the JPS look, thankfully the wheels are now silver and the Z pillar badges have beer removed, So thats a step in the right direction
I have access to Avon formula Ford slicks, so thats some fun for summer
Will post some pictures sooner rather than later
Cheers Guys
