    Hello R3v.

    My name is Ryan. I'm 22 about to be 23 on Monday. I'm from Connecticut and I've been involved in the E30 community for about 3 years now. I'm a professional performance specialist and an EFI tuner and hopefully in the next two years I'll be able to open my own shop.

    I don't have much documentation of my first E30 but it was a 2.7 turbo four door with diving boards.



    and



    I parted the motor and the turbo kit to start a 1JZ swap but then I lost all motivation and basically didn't do anything with cars for two years.

    Last February I bought this 89 325is for 500$ with a broken odometer.



    The car didn't run and the floors and part of the firewall were rotted out I soon found out. So I spent a little time here and there over the next six months repairing the metal of the car and redoing the engine harness. The interior was rough as well so I also restored that.

    The first stage of the car is now complete on Keskin wheels and GC coilovers.









    In two weeks I'm going to start fabricating another turbo kit for this car. Unlike my other E30 running megasquirt I have adapted a Porsche MAF to the car and edited the 173 DME for the MAF and soon enough the boost.

    Before these two cars I've owned three turbo Hondas. I sold this 400hp LSVTEC hatch a week after I got my first ride in a friends turbo E30 and since then it's been a love story.



    This is my little slice of interweb. The site is only a few months old but we've got a nice community of friendly people starting to form. It's fun.



    I work at Excelerate Performance in Branford, Connecticut. These are the things I get to work on all day.























    I guess that's about it.. I've been visiting R3v for a long time just admiring everyone's cars and figured I'd register since I finally have a little something to post about.

    Thanks for checking me out.

                    Thanks, guys. Yes the Keskin's are 17x10 in the rear and 17x8.5 in the front.

                    We haven't really done anything for seven series cars but we can do anything.
