Enter E30 World

[VAE30FTW]

I just picked up my first E30! Been looking for a while however I struggled finding the right one. Until yesterday... I've always wanted one and after I autocrossed a friends 325is I fell in love with E30's. I've owned a 330ci and E46 M3. Great cars. But the feeling I get when in and driving the E30 is one of a kind!







No rust anywhere, Full toolkit, spare with new tire and bottlecap rim. and only 130k miles!

The car does have an issue. it hesitates, idles high. it also came with a folder of service records. On one of them "reset TPS" was listed. I'm sure a throttle body and tps re alignment according to the Bentley manual will fix the issue.

Plans?

Lawl. Here at the 64/81 junction there's NOBODY. Just me, Inufaye, and StonerSam, who never gets on here anymore....

Me either, but recently my friend got into turning his Miata into a track monster.

Which, gay as miatas are, it looks pretty sweet and handles nice, cant wait for him to get his coils so i can test drive it.

Looks exactly like my car when i first got it. (except better condition and coupe) Good luck!

Looks good!

Wheels + suspension + maintenance = done.

+proper engine...like an M30. Go. Great looking car though!

That's the plan. I'll also throw in an 3.73 LSD. The car came with bilstein HD shocks, so I may just buy H&R sport springs. Maintenance wise it only needs an intake boot, brake flush (throw in a new MC), brake pads and rotors, valve cover gasket. The timing belt was done 9k miles ago along with the Waterpump, plugs, wires, and cap. Fixing the idle and hesitation issue. IIRC the throttle opens about 10 degrees before the first TPS click lol.

or M54B30. My plan is to swap in an M54B30 eventually. Then an S54 after that. once they get cheaper.
