My dad does the same thing. I bought the car, the cars in my name, I pay for the maintenance/mods, but if I'm doing something big with it (Like 5 speed swap) I still typically clear it with my dad first. Idk if its because he's paying for school or letting use his lift/garage, but I typically only do something like that if he gives me the okay.

Anyways is it a m20 or m42?

M20 and no you Defenatly didn't get drunk with me the other night, 16 and sober. sucks to be young but I'm trying to enjoy it while it.

Doesn't suck to be young. Relish in that shit.

hmmm, who knew there were so many other e30s in RVA? clean car though. let me know if you have any questions about the conversion. I did it to my '91 coupe last winter and took a shitload of pictures of it and will probably post them up here in a bit.

Also, make sure you get a shorter shifting lever. You'll definitely want one.

if only bottle caps were made in 16". Nice ride you got there.

this is where I stopped reading.
either you're a grown ass responsible adult willing to commit to doing your own thing, on your own dime without disrespecting your parents/landlords property is where the entire prophecy of self fulfillment takes effect.
Not to downplay any other peoples builds, but something as materialistic as a car shouldn't get in the way of family/respect.

Agreed. Go break some of the more fun laws that would get the rest of us locked up.

Not nessesarily fighting more like convincing I should have worded it differently and this n. No way will affect the relationship I have with my parents. Hell my dad even loaned me some funds to buy the trans cause my check hadn't cleared my account yet

Somebody's in a bad mood. You're forgeting that not all E30 owners are adults. Some of them are 16 year old kids with parents who aren't necessarily as interested in cars as their kids. These parents might be reluctant or even unwilling to let their kid modify their car in such a drastic way regardless of any level of respect in their relationship.
