Your advice

im thinking of going either riger gts kit or late model bumpers on my 86

just my problem is my car is bronzit..... :roll: ......so i searched and i saw trents car it looked amazing(may it rest in peace) if i do the gts kit i would paint it white (not a respray a full white door jams and all) which would be expensive.....i figure for the money i could get the plastic bumpers and get a low mile i motor for my car and maybe suspension......

what do u think i should do?

i also got a bmp antenna with the e30 and a jc chip any pics of the bmp replica m3 antenna on a car similar to trents?

thanks

325e + GTS kit = rice.

GTS kit = $1200 + shipping
Good complete color change = $3000 +

So you will dump $4200 + into a stock eta.. and still have a stock eta, but with a bodykit.

$4200 is 2-4x the value of the car to begin with...

Here is a photoshopped picture of Trents car with a GTS kit.

Re: Your advice

I'd use the eta as a daily driver, and get that RB25 in the 240.

Don't buy the GTS, it's ugly. Buy Mtech-I, or I dunno. But not Reiger. Or BMP.
If you don't like an early model bronzit car, it would have been easier to buy a late model color you like.

I'd go for suspension and stroker motor over cosmetics. Looks don't matter on a track beast, then build your 240 for a street beast.

You answered your own question.

Actually....don't put a lot of $$$ in the E30. Just something like clean up the car and get some springs. It's an eta. Why'd you buy an eta?

Just drive it as a DD for when you build up the 240. Do it.

Sometimes I think about selling my e30 for one of those 240sx..... so much cheaper to maintain.....

You know how much money that blue 240 has in it? Thousands, upon thousands.....

JDM, don't buy the GTS kit.....it's ugly as sheet no matter what car it's on.

But in a heads up, you'll be looking at around $500 for a used M20 2.5i..... coilovers from H&R are $1500 off Tire Rack and Ground Control is around $1000 in parts. No idea on the plastic bumpers.... maybe $100? There's a set on the FS+WTB forum.

sounds good.... i need a i motor in order to stroke it correct the e motor cannot be stroked or can it?....i searched but a lil confused on it.....and the only thing bad about the search function is u must be very specific because it only allows me to see one page of the search results
