I've had my e30 for a week now

[ramielm]

I've had this car for a week and I've already spent ~$1,800 on it...

H&R cup kit : $730 shipped
Nardi Steering wheel + Hub + Spacer : $350 shipped
Mobil 1 synthetic + Filter : $70
Condor Speed Shop M3 Control Arm Bushings pressed into lollipops : $127 shipped
Timing Belt, Water Pump, Tensioner, Valve Adjustment, Suspension Install : $400 including parts and labor
Registration + Smog : $150

Not a bad start

When I was getting the oil changed, the guy at Pep Boys was shocked at how clean the engine was and told me that it has a new head!

Next up are wheels, exhaust, de-badging and removing pinstripes.

Good choice on the cup kit. Should work well on a convertible.
