    Single pic of my new E30 (new to forum)

    Hi guys,

    I just picked up this 91 318is last week and a fellow MR2 owner; DavidV, introduced me to the forums. It's brillantrot red with the beige interior, 5MT, and a little over 110K miles. Never wrecked, all original paint, no rust, two small dents to be taken out with PDR, and need the front valance (it was registered in SoCal from new until this year). I'm looking forward to repairing a few minor mechanical issues and getting to drive it regularly. Here's the only phone pic I have of it at home, presently out of town and will take more with the DSLR next week. We just had our first freeze of the year in Austin, taken with my coworker's 996 C2.



    My other cars are a heavily modified red MR2 Turbo and a Maxima SE, though if the E30 works out well, I'll prepare to sell either one of those cars.

        Nice e30. One of my friends just bought an e30 and started parting out his mark1 mr2.

              Hopefully, I was browsing through your parts site after signing up, you'll be hearing from me in the future as I make a few little changes to improve the car.;) For the time being I decided against any new 3pc BBS as these wheels have new tires and I'll wait til I find something that truly strikes a chord (spent three months shopping before finding those 3pc Panasport G7s from MemoryFab for my MR2).

                You sure it's not brilliant red?

                    Actually no, only going off of what I was told, I'll have to look up the paint code.

                            Brillantrot without a doubt, Henna is very obvious.

                              Thanks guys. The MR2 has a JDM 3SGTE shortblock, E153 LSD trans, 50 trim CT26 twin scroll @ 17psi, 2RUS manual boost controller, GReddy intercooler, EMS charge pipe, HKS SSQV, KO intake, ATS phenolic spacer, GReddy catch tank, Berk 3" catless DP, GReddy SP exhaust w/ high flow cat welded in B pipe, Exedy clutch, B&M short throw w/ alum. bushings, Tein S-tech suspension, Rotora cross drilled & slotted rotors, Axxis ceramic pads, Sparco F300-R Chrono Sport seats, Schroth Racing ASM harnesses, AutoPower competition rollbar, Panasport G7 C5C 17x7/8 wheels with Direzza Star Spec tires.

                              I don't have too many pics of it, need to take some more especially since a couple people (including a Toyota sales manager)have already expressed sincere interest if I do sell it.
