I crashed my E30 and need help from knowledgeable people.

[Vivek]

I just want a fast car I guess. I don't really have access to the work space needed to swap my e30 and honestly no where near the amount of mechanical experience to do it. And obviously i will be broke for the next few months so no where near the $$$ required to pay for a swap.

I'm glad to have learned to drive with my 318i even though I wanted to swap it when I was your age which was a couple of years ago. Throw a 4.10LSD on it and you have a good chassis with enough power and a ton to teach you.

ahaha oh man. Trina 2.0.

I don’t think there is much else to be said that hasn’t already been said. Op you definitely made a young mans mistake, but at least you owned up to it and learned and thats a lot more than what most young people will do. It takes a lot of time and practice to become a good driver, and nothing will make you a better driver than learning how to drive a slow car fast. In fact a while back in Sh3rpak!ng’s build thread we were laughing at the fact Youtube douche bag TJ *unt couldn’t out run Charlie’s S52 swapped e30 in his GTR.

Edit: Also remember to take it slow and watch out for speed bumps

Damn, gotta a link, would love to see that.

At least there's no pizza going to your victims house, so you have that to be happy about.

Jesus Christ you crack me up

My car only has liability they would not cover the damage. I love my e30 for everything it is, but i hate seeing the look on those mustang driver kids faces when they say their car is faster than mine. Oh how i hate the mustang kids.

Yea, I get it. The thing about fast cars, is theres always a faster car. As much as I won't admit it to my co-worker, I know his 235i is a better, faster car than my 335. But ya know what? Another guy I work with is getting the M2 when it becomes available. Oh, and we are all jealous of an investor's 911 Turbo. At some point, I had to decide, am I going to play that game and be jealous of everyone who decides to/is able to spend more on a car than me? The cool thing about a car like an e30 is you can have something interesting and unique that is fun to drive without having to drop 80k every 2 years to keep up with the HP races.

That being said, of course its easier to say this when I own both cars. I do put the vast majority of my miles on my e90... but most of those are at 80mph on the interstate, where the e90 is really no different than a Camry with crappy cupholders lol

we are getting off topic here

well horsepower just got put a lot farther out of my head because i have to get myself out of the whole that i dug.

Don't worry about hp. Some of my favorite e30 builds kept the stock m20/m42

[ELVA164]

My last car had twice the power my e30 has and I have twice as much fun in my e30.

Preach

Don't sweat it, just do what you have to do to to fix everything and learn from what happened. It may take a while, but you'll eventually realize why e30s are the shit.

Don't worry, there's a lot of fun to be had in that E30 :)

[J Mid]

I say that because there is much more to owning, building, and driving a fast car than what you see in videos on YouTube.

I didn't get my S4 until 3 years ago, I'm 30 now. I wasted a lot of money along the way trying to make other vehicles into something they would never become.

I wish somebody had pointed out the joy that comes when you ignore power and focus on the rest of a well designed car.

I mean it, I love my Miata. It gets me through the endless months on end that my S4 is taken apart in the garage.

Get your car fixed, and take it for a drive. Try to appreciate what it has to offer and you might be surprised how you end up feeling. Just get horsepower out of your head for a while.

Anywho, enough preaching from me for the night!

Go get your shit fixed.
