To buy...or not to buy!?
Hello fellow e30 drivers, I recently stumbled across an e30 vert, and I'm debating on buying an e30 again. Long story short, I had an 86' e30 coupe "project", gave up due to work and my son was about to be born, so I sold it for very cheap ($200:nice:) yes I know, and got out of the car world for about 1 year, now I'm going crazy not working on cars anymore, but still have a hot spot for e30s. Now this vert is for $400, no engine and no top, perfect for a project I suppose. I'm a turbo guy, so laying a v8 twin turbo would be a dream, especially on an e30. So what do you guys think? I was out on the hunt for a coupe but why not a vert. I was offered a 91 240sx for $500 that is working and starts with 129,xxx miles, but now I'm debating if that's what I really want. Well any help guys is appreciated, thanks.

buy it, part it, find a coupe! -
I have an '88 vet and the stock engine is far more than enough. If you put a turbo V8 in a vert, you will not like it. You might be able to drive it like grandma in a Buick, but then what's the point?Comment

A twin turbo V8 is too much power for any E30.Comment

well Ive been thinking about it, but wasn't sure if the e30 was the right platform. I had a nice 1g dsm, with an hx40 turbo and and ran 27psi, of course I still seek more power, but I think a v8 would be the way to go.Comment

Only a Miata or S2K should be convertible.Different strokes for different folks.Comment

I would rock a vert' I would probably not twin turbo V8'ify it though. but I would in no way be opposed to you doing it.
