    The radio has been replaced with an Alpine CDA-9856 unit.
    The front currently has no speakers, only the rear two and the sub are hooked up.

    Infinity 6x9”s in the back with a custom deck lid.”
    Infinity 12" sub in a box bolted to the rear bulkhead. See pics for better view. The speakers are powered by one 4-channel
    Infinity amp and one monoblock Infinity amp.


    This car has no rust that I am aware of. Maybe a small amount of surface rust in the battery tray but thats it.

    Some history on the car-

    The E30 was originally from texas where the swap was done ( but done poorly resulting in me replacing just about all of the sensors and fixing wiring)
    Mike30 owned the car for a few months and then I purchased the car from him in October of 2007. I am probably forgetting some things that have
    been replaced, I went above and beyond to get this car running great.


    Had the car weighed on a cornerweight scale and its 2800 pounds. I believe it was a 50.5 front to back weight distribution. That was with full spare, audio, jack and a/c components as well as a 1/2 tank of gas

    small annoyances- power steering fluid is slowly leaking. One drop after the car is sitting for awhile.
    Car has hot start issues (if the car has been driven and engine is still warm, it will die when you try to start it within about 5-10 seconds of turning it over. The second you start it up again it runs fine and has no other issues)
    exhaust leak at end of headers
    some oxidized paint (paint is still otherwise good for a 20 year old car)
    I have a manual switch set up for when the car gets warm, it doesn't bother me but others may get annoyed by this. Its pretty easy to get an auto fan switch set up, just haven't had time to do it.
    The rear trunk was broken into at one point and is bent down in the center where the lock is. This doesnt affect anything with the locks. Its only noticeable when you pop the trunk.


    Reason for selling- I am planning to buy a house and could use some extra cash for a down payment. I don't get to drive this car as much as I would like. I put countless hours and money into this car and overlooked nothing.

    Orginal for sale thread from the guy in texas-

                  If this car had some fresh grey carpet it would look awesome mated with the new door panels. That and a nice mtech 2 steering wheel. Something for the next owner to do.
