My First e30

[Roysneon]

Chabs i remember seeing this car on kijiji. Definitely wish I had the cash at the time. I've also got an early 318i that I hope to have on the road within the next few weeks. We should definitely meet up sometime.

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:

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!

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!

For sure! are you bringing your s2000 down or flying? Hopefully by then the car will be looking a little better and whatnot.

Hey Roysneon, where are you from? Just noticed more comments on this thread now, I asked on the thread about springs earlier haha

[Roysneon]

I'm in Dartmouth now, but I'm moving to Halifax in a few months. Not really having to move very far though. I'm near downtown Dartmouth now and moving to west end Halifax. Oh and let me know about those springs, man.

Chabs,
I'll be driving, I'm planing a roadtrip to maine for some fun, might even pick up a turbo kit while I'm down there. Cdn duty sucks!

Glad you enjoy the car! I was worried it would fall into careless hands.
All the best!

yeah for sure, i'll need to get it a bit more cleaned up for that though haha. I actually saw you twice in one day last week.. once in the datsun in bayers lake, i remember seeing that at the west a couple of years back.. then i saw you again on barrington street on my way home from downtown and you were in the e30 haha. I was driving a volvo though so you wouldn't have noticed me.

If you ever need any random little bits or parts let me know i have a bunch of junk kicking around. you should come out to some auto-x events with it. first one on may 9th at Scotia speedworld.....

I'm sure I'll be needing some things in the near future, and I'll definitely come out to some events this summer. Sounds like fun. I got my seats from Nev and he mentioned to me that you go with him and that I should come out sometime haha

What springs is your car sitting on, Jeremy? I have H&R's but they aren't the race springs. I was thinking of getting the GC coilover conversion kit. You know anything about it? I need a better stance. Maybe some wheel spacers as well?

[bataangpinoy]

cmonn chabs! i know that u know that you want this thing to do things even i cant think of! ;) good work, i hope to see more from you.

[Roysneon]

Josh, If your car was white we could all have matching 318's!

Either way, you, Jeremy and I should meet up sometime when I have my car on the road. Going to rock the stock M10 for a while I guess.

You'll have to stop by then! and I do strongly recommend getting a turbo kit...
