I'm in So Cal (Orange County). A bunch of stuff is/will be for sale so if anyone has any requests PM me. Obviously I'll be keeping the front panels, and I'm going to use the premium sound & black interior as well.

Let the fun/insanity begin...

it seems like theres an okay amount of e30 guys in orange county but i never see em

Thats cause all our cars are in various pieces in someone's garage. Most of the ones I see driving around are hanging on for dear life (kinda like mine).

I live in OC and I never see E30's. I see more in san diego when I am there on weekends.

lame update w/no pics

My car has been off the road for a month now for a full suspension rebuild. Yes I'm taking my time.

Front is done: new CAs, M3 CABs, e36 steering rack, swaybar bushings (keeping stock sways), Bilstein struts and lowering springs (I'm blanking on the mfg). Oh and ejnight's skidplate.

Back is in progress. IE RTABs and RSBs will be going in and I'm going to do the seals on the stock S4.10 while I'm at it. I also need to fix a fuel leak (thinking its the pump seal).

I also (hopefully) fixed a hot-start issue. I cleaned 20 years of gunk off from around the crank position sensor.... hopefully that was the root of the problem.

Carry on.

no update in a while so here goes...

Suspension is DONE! Well, it was until I saw the reverse rake and just ordered drop hats to fix that. Then time for an alignment and suspension should be squared away.

In the rear I decided to go with stock RTABs after troubles trying to seat the IEs. BTW if anyone local is going to do RTABs PM me... I have the bushing tool for these that you can borrow.

Mr. Tony helped me roll my fenders YAY! to clear the 15x7 ET13 wheels I'm running. Still rub a bit in the back so its time to break out the grinder.

Hot start issue turned out to be the fuel pump. It had a loose connection and would short only when warm (WTF?)... then the used replacement pump I bought went bad two days later , so I lucked out and found a new VDO unit for cheap here: http://www.autobahnparts.com/ (these guys are really flippin cool by the way... ppl just chillin installing parts in the parking lot & they gave me a discounted cash price :D).

what else what else... oh yeah, pics to come once the car is clean.
