    Well, it seems as if you have an answer for everything. Good luck on the build. Cool car, shitty/ugly front end.

      Here's you ripping your subframe out the first time you release the clutch. Good luck with the build, stay safe.

                I hope it's gonna be bat-shit insane fast, but just so you know, the e30 will never be the new civic. Seriously, are you kidding me here? I respect what you're doing but you're coming across as a total tool. So don't be surprised if you get a warning from an admin.

                  as an e30 owner, i firmly believe that the e30 is in the exact same "class" as an eg honda hatch.

                    Well maybe yours happens to be, but I've driven multiple eg body civics, hatch or not, and there is no comparison. You're comparing apples and oranges.

                            :D, good luck with the honda shop. I guess saying the next 240 would be a better representation. Regardless, the e30 is an up and coming fad, and it will continue to grow until everyone pukes and moves on.

                            enron BTW made me some money when it went under.

                              Hey, we only fix broke stock stuf. I dont play with that stupid tuner shit. Why fix someones clusterfuck headache? I see it being;

                              1992-1996 "The Real Import/Honda" Scene
                              1996-1999 (Any Ebruni/Wings West Kit)
                              1999-2003 Honda-Acura (Anything JDM)
                              2004-2007 RWD/AWD (Drift Scene)
                              2008-???? (I'm hoping for a shift to OEM+ style)

                              But, you never do know whats gonna happen. K-Cars and VIP may still awash this shore, I hope not though. However, I do see the duality of those scenes in co-operation.

                                I still don't buy into this though, I don't care if it's the next up and coming car for "tuners." I'd venture to say most of them still don't know what an e30 is. On any given day I will see at least 10+ rice/modified civics, accords, acuras, you name it. In my four years of e30 ownership, other than my group of e30 friends(mind you this isn't so-cal) I've seen maybe 10-20 e30's that have been modified.

                                Even then on our local BMW board, I think there are maybe 10-15 people that own e30's. The sheer number of honda's out there great outweigh the numbers of e30's still around. So I still feel that you justification in calling the e30 the next ricer mobile is unfounded.
