    My 1500.00 iX

    Been waiting all week for today. Finally got the car. I'm the 4th owner, records all the way back to 1991 when sold at a dealership in Boston. Somehow made it's way to WA. Getting the major maintenance stuff done tommorow: water pump, timing belt, etc.







    Will post better pictures this Sunday evening... after the Super Bowl!

      No you Fail!

      I work at a shop in Seattle, and fortunately we're closed on the weekends which means we will all be there working on our own shit for a change! Projects my Coworkers and I will be working on include Quantum Syncro Wagon, My iX, and my roomates iX.

      oh and I know it's easy. Paid 228.00 (wholesale price) for Timing belt kit, water pump, thermostat, throttle body coolant plate/gasket/new hardware, and new coolant. Only thing I have to spend is a Saturday afternoon at the shop with good friends.

                great pick up, how many miles?
                keep an eye on front drive shaft boots and splines, those are the weak points, other wise great car :up:

                    It's got 226k miles but got new front drive shafts around 7k ago. Car has been meticulously maintained with records and receipts to prove it all the way back to 1991.

                    Plans are to drive it and maintain it and keep it clean. Lol

                    New tires/rims, koni adjustables, and hopefully a good quality exhaust soon. Boost?

                        4 door=family car/old person car/parts car. I have never got the grasp on why younger people now days think 4 doors are "cool" Must be some generation gap or something.

                            I loved the convenience of 4 doors. Sliding seats around is a hassle no matter what age you are, or what you're hauling.

                              Thats a pretty clean pickup.

                              I really want an ix jsut for shits and giggles, and to have an E30 that remains close to stock.

                              Have fun with it!
