Last fall I "won" a BaT auction for a Polaris E9, and have been lax in posting about my car for a variety of reasons. I'm located in the SF Bay Area and welcome the opportunity to interact with other E9 owners and enthusiasts. The e9coupe.com forum has been very helpful both in my initial purchase, and in the last few months. Shout out to Markos, HBChris, Keshav and to SFDon who have been specifically very helpful to me as we sort out the car.
I've got a few things going on at the moment, not the least of which is getting the car registered in California, after importing it from Vancouver, Canada. I think that process should conclude favorably by the end of the month, but the California DMV moves in mysterious ways so my fingers are crossed. Thanks to HBChris for the help.
Keshav helped me source a CSL style Petri wheel, it really transforms the look and feel of driving the car. Great upgrade.
Don has already taken a whack out of my budget by installing 16 inch staggered Alpinas and new tires, installing a Schrick camshaft 284 with MSPNP2 ECU, and going thru the engine bay and swapping everything that was questionable. Don and his band of merry E9 wrenchers have been a joy to work with.
Next on the agenda is to install new shocks and a set of lowering springs. The car today sits 1-2 inches too high, and lowering it slightly will really help the stance. Hope to have that accomplished in the next month or so.
I've attached a few photos.
