Thanks everyone!

Yeah I'm ready to get this week over with and get to wrenching.

Also, fuck that Camry.

Finished up the rear suspension and drove it around!

Put 150 miles on it over the weekend, and it drives really really well.
Breaking in the cam, so I haven't romped on it yet, but so far so good, and the engine feels strong.

Thanks everyone!

It's definitely been a journey!

I think this finally proves that I can indeed work on a car, and that my issues I've had with the C5 are because that car is cursed.

Would be funny to see someone ruin a car like that after all this work.

While 90% of the posts are posiotive, and the cirticisms aren't harsh, I still felt I should share with you the comments from R3vlimited.com;

The 17" Apex wheels, chrome bumper, and no drop dont mix, no cohesive flow. Some 15" Ronals and a HR sport drop would work...maybe race if youre so inclined. But I like your general direction.

Needs larger tires or more low, car looks phenomenal otherwise. Amazing transformation brother

Awesome work! Not sure about the wheels with the orange and chrome bumpers. Still sweet though!

but it is lowered. on billy sports along with the correct HR sports. 15s would be tiny too.

One dude said I should get H&R sport springs to drop my car.

:bruh:

So on the Magnabro......if memory serves the 325i was distinguished exhaust wise by twin tips set at a 45 degree angle? Yes? What are you going to do to finish the Magnabro?
