My new Eta

nice. the 88 eta is great because it has the right motor for a 2.7i, and you can put plastic bumpers on it. of course you know this thats probably why you got it!

Yeah, but the seta 2.7i won't really be much faster than the B25 I had in the other car before that (and it almost certainly won't be faster than the M50 car). If I'm going to tear into the engine, it's probably going on a stand and getting raised compression, good sized cam, etc. ;)

Also, I mainly got it because it was $200. The rest was just a bonus. :p

Sorry for thread derail.

I just picked up an '88 super eta, coming from an M50 E30. I haven't actually driven it yet, but I've started it, and immediately fell in love with it. I still own the M50 car and I'm already making plans to build up that M20.

I miss my eta so much. I picked up my Ix for about the same price, I can't lie though, I bet if I went back to driving my eta for a week I'd be dying to get back behind a b25.

I think anyone that says the "ETA SUCKS!!" just bought one expecting to compete with 325i/is and found out the hard way. It's the economy model, people. It doesn't suck. It's a fabulous vehicle. I loved my ETA. Not fast, but I got nearly 30mpg.

My '91 318is is GREAT DD. It's not the fastest out there, but plenty of quick and I get 32mpg.

OP - Great lookin' ride! I have friends at Lake Steven's.

etas are fine as long as you give it a good tune up. I kept up with b25 on the freeway till about 110 lol Great thing is you can cruz around an shift at 2k

Shes an 87, picked her up for 1500. Blue on blue. The drivers seat is shot..I have a soccer ball behind it so I dont fall into the back seat. Suspension is pretty far gone as well. Overall very satisfied. I was going to order the stage 3 race springs from Ireland engineering along with Blisteins all around unless anyone can tell me otherwise. Heres my first dumb question...The coil over kit they sell can be used with this set up, or do you need specific springs? Excuse the ignorance.

Looks like a good start, now get to work.

nice! my first e30 was a d-schwarz eta. take care of it

[pilotskillse30]

good looking canvas, now go to town with it picasso

If you are looking for a nice DD, the eta is just fine. That, and it is just a few small steps from an eta to a 2.7i...

Welcome, and nice ride, I like the blue. 86' or 87'?

Just try not to take most of the disparaging eta remarks around here...

Like the fact that etas suck, because, like I said, that's a fact. ;)

Clean car OP.
