    My first e30! what yous think?

    E30 318is, 164K, uk spec, mustang injectors and chip by pro-formance, sebring exhaust system.

    swapped a mess of an e46 (i like these cars but the one i had was a mess mechancialy) plus 200 cash for this wee baby.

    had the car a few months and it has already got broken into, steering look was attempted to be broke but the steering coloumn broke away from the dash what a mess! so they took my sat nav and dvd/cd player and work bag to put their new goodies in.

    Solution: £200 alarm and imobiliser- sleep alot better now

    iv got big plans for this car, just need the time as i work alot, i put the injectors and chip in, injectors were a bitch leaked first time then had to install them again using 1/2 " washer mod. i plan on getting a new back bumper but dont want it to look too jap, want to keep classic look, the sound system will be upradged all front components and maby a small sub. plan on replacing alot of components in the engine eg. feul pump, water pump, radiator, icv valve, and giving the engine some new collent hoses and air hoses and maby a bit of fine detail cleaning lol. the engine is sound it runs like a dream and goes like shit off a spade.

                          chip is from pro-formance, its suppose to add up 25 bhp i can def feel the difference and the injectors make the car run super smooth.

                            just stock, it was a 316 se 4 door, 18 inch mv1's and tinted windows. looked the part but required alot for next MOT, like over £2500 of parts.
