Trying to find my old e30 turbo. Sold in 2011 to a member. Has anyone seen it?

I think you'd have fun starting a fresh project.

Totally agree, I wouldn't even touch that car if he came around just based on how he responded to you.

Sounds like he wasn't spanked as a kid..

Well that's depressing. Would be nice if he keeps you in mind when he gets sick of it.

No he was a complete and total asshole. He said the car is apart in his garage and he is fixing the shitty work that I did... first thing he said for an opener.

I can understand if he doesn't want to sell the car but he was just overall a total prick. No idea why someone would act that way... he more or less said fuck off.

Unfortunately I'm allergic to assholes so I probably wouldn't buy the car now even if he asked. I could pick up an e30 m3 rolling chassis... or just say screw it there is a 2015 mercedes SL63 for sale for 50k.. just chip that and more power than you ever need. ugh... just not the same though. lol.

I'll figure it out.

M30s were cool until the M54B30 swaps started. There's just no reason to choose an M30 over an M54 now apart from trying to be period correct, especially if you're staying NA. I suppose an M30 swap is easier but that's about the only advantage.

Well I definitely agree, to be honest if I got the car back I would probably put an S54 in there and turbo that.

Well, I found the guy and he was a total douche about it. He was super rude and then asked for 20k while mentioning the car is apart right now. Forget it.

Is it listed anywhere? The R3V community will happily "remind" this guy what the car is actually worth and maybe he will come around.

Play it cool and go get some pics. Never know.. Still a shame about the motor though M30s are kinda cool, but not when compared to what was in it

Dang, who replaces a 440hp M20 with Ti rods with an M30?

Yeah, and if I remember right he put an m30b30 in it which kind of defeats the purpose.
