      Spoiler looks like a Pfeba, which would make sense, in '84 Pfeba spoilers were offered as part of the OEM 'Aero-Kit'

      On one side it should have a stamp that says something to the effect of "Hersteller PFEBA Typ_____, Heckspoiler BMW Typzeichen_____" or the like...

        i also love my seats. I was pumped when i bought them, only $150 CDN for the front seats and rear bench and they're mint.

        As for numbers, im not quite sure. The previous owner (who seems to know his stuff, he is restoring an old Datsun currently) told me he thinks there is about 225 horses at the wheels ;) I'll likely get it on a dyno this summer and post some numbers

          In a couple of months...I promise there will be video. Too much salt on the roads right now. It's like the plow driver specifically dumped an extra bunch right in front of my house.

          and you're right, it is a Pfeba spoiler

            finally got it going with a new diff and a new alternator. Here are couple of night shots. Sorry for the quality.. I honestly don't know why they came out like that.

                    Thanks guys. Just ordered a manual boost controller so i can crank it down in the city, plus i think my clutch is starting to slip a bit so a little less boost will save it a bit hopefully. I'll definitely post up some video soon though, with full boost! ;)

                            Not a bad start for your first e30 - but you need to get busy if you want to impress me in the appearance department.

                              It's currently sitting on H&R's, but I know, it's not low enough. Thats a plan for this summer. Its got 154,000kms..... so about 96,000 miles?

                              And as far as the appearance goes.... I don't want it to look too crazy, I want to keep it somewhat stock looking besides a nicer set of wheels and more low

                                Hey!
                                Glad to see my old car moving on to another R3V member!

                                I'll let chabs fill you in on the current specs, but here's the build log I did a while back:

                                http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/...bd031a47a327f/

                                This car pulls!! although I can only estimate the HP, I can say I sold this car for $4500 cdn 2 years ago, and purchased a Honda S2000, and I regret every day that I try to pass someone. It's a great car! and I loved every min of it!

                                Oh!, if you happen to buy a new shift knob, let me know, I'll actually Paypal you $20+ shipping for the old one! Good memories ;)

                                The spoiler is indeed a Pheba and was purchased on this forum, as well as the stub manifold idea.
                                For all you M10 engine guys, research the Targa Newfoundland and look for the '69 2002 race car, that car was running my first megasquirt systems, but I ditched the ford edis and went totally custom.

                                As for you super hardcore R3V guys, you may recall my ITB writeup in the howto section, as this car had GSXR 750 Throttle bodies before the turbo conversion.

                                Hope you enjoy the car!!

                                Oh!. When I had the car, I had Sparco Start seats, so the interior was way better than the first few pics, however I love the recardos!

                                ..Mitch

                                Edit:
                                It actually has a electronic boost controller, but 10-13psi is the min for that spring, it should be in the front pass side by the light.
                                as well. order some new plug wires (stock gm truck ones) and some good heat shielding for that #1 wire ;) then make some numbers.

                                In a few months I'll be down that way for fun, so let me know and we'll meet up!
