What is the cali roof?

Its a giant sunroof that is cloth like a convertible. When its opened, it folds up as it slides back. They are extremely expensive to have fixed or replaced.

They make the car feel as close to a convertible as possible while having a feel of a hard top when its closed. One of the best options on the ti and a bit rare as well.

Between the //M trim, Cali Roof and OEM spoiler, the car is a pretty rare combination of options. Just look through the TI pictures thread.

The bumpers are stock with the TI sport package. The rear one is nearly impossible to find if your looking for one. They are getting pretty rare these days.

The headlights are just non-projection depos. I'm running 8k HIDs in them anyway.

What are you doing for suspension? Have you replaced all the mounts/bushings/etc. as well?

Thanks max. The car has been together for a few weeks now, and its blazing fast. I'm still sporting the OEM 3.45 open diff so acceleration while ridiculous has to be controlled or you'll spin one tire forever.

I've got a 3.15 LSD diff from a Z3 ready to go in but I need the half-shafts from an E30 to complete the job. Looking forward to it though.

I've only replaced the ball joints thus far. The chassis has 150+k on it, so its due for all new bushings and such. It rides pretty well though.

I've got a black on black 1995 2.5 conversion that's already done that I can't seem to get rid of.

I drove it to work to day to give it some exercise. Clutch is so much softer than the //Mti.
