Picked up a new ride........

[machined]

Haha awesome. First we're "rich guys" now we're "poor guys".

[MIKe30]

how's she holding up OP?

OOoohhhh, where did you find them for $750? That's a good price.

Cheapest I've seen them is around $850 I think.

I have no idea which they are nor what wheels I have :P.

I can say it handles great!

I ordered Koni yellow Sports this morning, could not believe they were 150 more (750) then the ones I had on the CL.

Nice pick up parker!

Do you know which model of Espelir springs those are? They have two different ones for the 350Z.

I don't want to go the coilover route, but finding the right spring seems elusive since most have softer spring rates than the 2004.5+ model in the rear. Lowering + less spring rate doesn't seem ideal.

I've been leaning toward the R*SR Ti2000 spring or the Eibach Pro-Kit. But in no hurry.

p.s. i fucking <3 bench racing.

No Mike, I'll take one in the canyons and on most tracks to. My s54 e30 M3 is going to spank any Z on the track! :twisted:

how bout just a nissan ;) i'll go to the track with you bud..

E30's are cool cars over here, they are rare, and good to dd and to live with in my opinion.

It is comfortable, easy to park, cool, semi classic....

For me it's the best dd i have ever driven.

I'll bite, what were your previous daily drivers?


There is nothing wrong with an e30. even one with an m42 but it is apples and oranges to almost any quality car made after 2000.

[bimmer_E30]

sexy cars indeed!

[parkerbink]

Congrats on the pickup. I got one on Sunday.



Loving it so far!

It came with Espelir springs and what appear to be stock shocks.

It handles great, from what I have read they are good springs so I will be getting Koni yellows.

This thread is hilarious, given the means I'd like to see how many people would actually still DD an E30.

i do. :)

Me, chris, joey, mo, mammoth, curlie, and countless others. Not everyone drives an e30 cause its all they can afford. Its not uncommon for people to dump 10-20k in to their non m cars. There is just something about the basic non computer aided, un muted driving experience that calls to us. I'm not saying the e30 is god's chariat but it is a truely remarkable machine considering how simple it is. The only thing better for me would be an ariel atom or lutus exige s. But I promised I would not make any large purchases till I get a bigger house. And the lack of torque on the rx8 does not really bother me. Its the poor build quality.

[e30polak]

I bet A LOT would still DD one! But I'd also bet 95% of them would take the newer car out on a saturday night to a nice dinner or date with their lady or even go single to a bar/club, etc instead of the e30.

Actually I'll be DDing a 4 door e36 325, with s50 cams, tune, exhaust, m3 kit, h&r sports, and some DS2s.

I want a clean DD now that I have the means, my s54 e30 m3 will be my going out car and my fun car! :pimp:
