RHD E30 Touring \\ Newbie E30 Owner

[RHDE30Touring]

Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. Name is Ryan, and I just purchased an E30 Touring 325i. Runs and drives but needs some TLC. Got it for a steal, and have already ordered plenty of new parts for it that I will be putting on.

This is my first E30, car before this was a modified b7 Audi A4.

Anyways, here is a picture of the car as she stands now, updates to come!
I'm a photographer as well (ryan.topken on instagram), so expect lots of pics!

Hey welcome. I have a black 325i touring also. Very practical cars, and fun to drive.

It is!

And I will get more pictures up shortly, need to get it registered and titled. Also want to replace all components of the suspension and get an alignment as that is all shot.

Put something in that came in the mail just a couple hours ago. Beautiful condition and got it for 100 bucks. Talk about a steal.



The Audi on the right was my old car...

So, have not kept this thread updated. But as the car sits, she is running strong, and looks pretty good. All new suspension in, new interior, new E46 Clubsport Steering Rack, wheels refinished, etc etc.

Here are some pics,

Just put them in using Massive adapters to use the stock e30 sliders and they are amazing.

How do you find the Massive Brackets? I have a pair of Recaro LS-C's that I want to put in, did everything go together easily? How was the finish? I love the way they sit in the car, so they must have decent fitment at least!

I cannot say enough good things about them. They are perfect and extremely well made. Everything fit absolutely perfectly and more than enough bolts were included for various configurations. Lee at Massive took the time to answer all my questions to make sure I knew what I was getting before I bought them. And they're awesome. :woowoo:
