    A Sunday Drive

    Well, I started my engine swap in mid-summer. Finally just this week I got the final bugs worked out with a new starter and exhaust mid-section. It has finally reached what I had envisioned over 3 years ago when I bought it. And its a lot of fun!!

    I took it for a nice Sunday cruise through Sarasota downtown and St. Armand's Circle and took lots of pictures. It was strangely windy but still a beautiful day. I <3 my e30!!

              totally awesome. Some of the best looking wheels out there, and the best motor you can drop into an E30 here in the States.

              I'm off to find your S50 swap thread (if you have one).

                  Wheels look great, your whole car looks good. Just a little more cleaning up in the bay for sure.

                      I'm just going to enjoy driving it for a while. Probably some autocrossing and hpdes. Theres not much more that I really want to do as far as mods.

                      Yeah, eventually I'll do the m3 wire cover, cut out the unused mounting brackets etc. Its just a matter of time.

                      No noticeable difference in ride quality. I cut them over a year ago now with no problems at all.

                          Yep, I agree. Awesome e30, why does everyone run those wheels with the caps off though? I feel like I've never seen anyone running caps. But yeah, great job man that thing looks really really nice.

                            I dont think they look very good with the caps on.

                              Car looks amazing. Way to rock not only the extra doors but the sunken diving boards too. I noticed your drivers side high beam looks like it's got tinted lamin-x on it? Any reason why?

                              Cut a coil in the front I'm assuming?
                              Need a part? PM me.
