Sold. I decided to buy it. Car's been too much fun and I want to see it how it was when he got it from scabzzzz.
Call me at eightsixfour 420-6722
My cousin moved to Finland to finish college leaving this car for sale. Since he left it three weeks ago, I replaced the front drivers wheel bearing (FAG) and have driven it when I get off work. The more I drive it the more I'm convinced its a super solid car.
As it sits tonight:
*centercap is in my garage, just changed the wheel bearing.
Yes, the mofo painted the RZ's blue. I already started stripping them and talking to a powdercoater.

The Bad
• Needs new strut hat on drivers side
• Paint is still really shiney, but shows its age. Some spider webbing from a previous paint job at some point on the quarter on passenger side. This is a 10 foot car for sure like most all other E30’s. No major dents or dings. Passenger quarter paneling had some paint crack off from spider webbing and started to surface rust, so I sanded that patch down and put a spray paint band aid on it. You can barely notice it, but I just didn’t want it to get bad. Would rather see a dull paint square, than rust and chipped paint , ya know?
• Dash is cracking now. When I got it, it had no cracks. The next day I came to the car to clean it, it had started forming a fucking crack. (fml)
• Small little wear spot on drivers sport seat from wear over the years. On the inside so its not noticeable.
• OBC is really dim. Not sure why. Havent looked into it really. Replaced it with a euro as an upgrade, but it didn’t fix it. 12 button OBC btw with the turn signal stalk control.
• Speedometer goes out from time to time while driving. Not sure why. I replaced the gears inside and it didn’t fix it. They were stripped anyways. I believe it may be related to the SI Board or maybe the speed sensor on the diff? It stops counting miles when the speedo isn’t working.
• 2 lights come on occasionally on the check panel. Brake light and coolant. Coolant is probably the sensor on the bottle and brake light is probably a ground. I didn’t care to look into it.
• Needs some A/C work again. Small leak somewhere, I believe to be at the condenser on the o’rings. To make the A/C system completely all brand new again, would require a compressor and condenser. That was on the list this summer, however, if you fill it back up with R12 or Freeze12, it will work again. Leaks out over a period of time. Spent wayyyyy too much money on the A/C troubleshooting last year.
• Leak into the trunk somehow. Pretty common, but not too bad.
• Engine bay is on the dirty side
• Has a funny start once every month or so. I think its related to the fuel pumps maybe?.....
• Rear window defrost doesn’t really defrost. Dunno why
• Window switches are a little sticky. I have replacements, but that’s with every e30 I’ve ever seen
• *FIXED* Drivers side wheel bearing started making some noise about 2 months ago at high speeds (60+) :hitler:
He is asking $4,300 obo.
