First e30 came and went...I'm hooked!

[metalsoul]

I've only had this wonderful car for 3 glorious months, I put a ton of work into it and a TON of miles on (8700 in 3 months) and I loved every minute with her! She was my first e30 and I'm not turning back, already making plans to replace her with a late model vert. I was fortunate to receive 3 full price offers and and she went to a great new owner who drove out from Michigan to pick her up...here's a vid of me taking her out of the driveway for the last time:

I loved your car, hopefully the vert turns out eve better!

Thanks bro, I think driving my e30 cross country and back really formed a bond between man and car! I'm planning on taking the vert down to Florida once I get it and sort it out...assuming I find the right one soon!

welcome to the cult.

I used to work at a shop called Gone Surfing. Sadly, it went out of business.

Otherwise, your car looks good!

Thanks bro, I tune exhaust, so it's all OEM, with a nice deep tune, it sounds like a monster at open throttle!

Who did you sell it to? I still wan those rims! lol :e-rimstalker:

[metalsoul]

Some young lady from Michigan who found my car on Craigslist...yeah once I put low profile tires on them, those rims were absolutely killer!

Man I miss my coupe! I've got a beautiful cherry vert sitting in my driveway now but all I can think about is how great my coupe was!

get a hard top for the vert, problem solved.

LOL, if only it were that easy...but yet cheaper! I actually LOVE having a vert now, it's just MY coupe that I miss. It was my first bimmer, and I'd always wanted an e30 since I was like 14, and I put a lot of work into it to make it what it was, and it drove SO beautifully!

Whereas with the vert, it's absolutely GORGEOUS to look at, but drives like a turd right now...only because I'm so particular about the way my cars handle, respond and feel.

Someone slap me, I need to stop complaining. Oh BTW Levent, that "slow leak" at the oil return is more like a "mild" leak. I wake up to a nice little puddle every morning. But fourtunately it doesn't overheat, and still "runs" fine cuz I won't have the bread to do the headgasket for a minute...unless I decide to sell the BBS'?!?

how did you tune the exhaust? haha sounds amazing!! so i guess drill holes? i had that mod on my old vert p.o did it lol.

Yes it was. Well, it was a boardshop so it had everything. There was one location in Fort Bragg, one in Rohnert Park and one in Petaluma.

Vert Interior > Coupe.

I didn't see my car go when I sold it... I was kind of happy about that actually.
