    The end of an era, JoeTokyo says goodbye.

    It's time to say goodbye folks.

    that's right, the JoeTokyo has sold off his last e30.

    and no, you're wrong, i won't be back.

    i did what i set out to do, and that was to piss off purists like you.

    i built a beautiful car, although you may disagree, there are others who will agree with me.

    so here's a little timeline about my e30 history.

    i first got into e30s on accident with this in 2002.



    my first e30. a week after i got her and days after my first, "mod" and also the same day i first took her on a canyon run.



    home made clear corners thanks to e30sport. i also put a JimC chip courtesy of our very own eta specialist, FredKim. 3.25LSD from an e34 thanks to our very own e30 specialist, adamf88is. and 2.5inch piping for the exhaust.



    this was also about the same time i started getting interested in taking pictures. i have tj to thank for that.

    it was a bone stock faded '86 325e that was falling apart. i bought it for 1000, dropped 1200 in paint and repairs with a dtm style "exhaust". she was quick, adamf88is will agree, it would walk 325is' all day.

    i kept her for over a year, sold her for 2500 and went on the hunt for a nice 318is

    and then i found her.



    brilliantrot 318is for 2200.

    the paint was faded, but the motor was strooooong.





    i quickly took off where i left off on the eta, but i started right, suspension first. ie3's with koni yellows.



    i didn't have any hope for her for being much of a pretty car, but i was wrong after i put a little elbow grease into her.







    JDM Chevlon racing wheels, 17x7, ski rack from a saab 9-3, weathertech visors, supersprint exhaust and some other stuff.



    sold the chevlons and pursued my dream of being a fantastic canyon driver. put some azenis on the caps and drove the hell out of her.



    bought some JDM work rs betas, kept them for a month then moved on.



    decided to try the "euro" look, so i picked up some maxxim wheels. which i sold 10 months ago, but for some reason are still in my garage.





















    drove her like that for a long time. i loved the way she looked, but the offset bug bit me. so i did it, i bought some extreme dimensions.









    and this is what she looked like just before i put her back to stock



    and what she looked like just before she drove away.



    so that's it folks. i'm gone.

    ib: good riddance, too many stickers, are you gay, do you like men, do you know how i know you're gay, ricer, jdm bullshit, yourmomsmellslikeJoeTokyo'scock.

                  Wow.

                  way back since 2002, huh??

                  You're truly one of the last OG's then for sure.






                  Dude, WTF?

                  Lose the chip on your shoulder and life will be alot more pleasant.

                  Who gives a shit if your R3V interweb "friends" talk shit about your car? If you like it, that's all that matters. I suppose you everything you wear has "Abercrombie" or "Hurley" on it in fake worn out looking letters? WTF?

                  BTW, nice job on the car, but don't break your arm patting yourself on the back for building a supabad supastar "customized" car- how hard is it to stick springs under a car, bolt on an aftermarket steering wheel, then swap out wheels and tires to suit your taste?


                  Oh, EAD. ;)
